Well, I finally did it... I finally completed 30 days at 100% raw. I feel great about it. :D I still feel tired a lot, my body is still detoxing and getting used to this new lifestyle. Here are some positive changes I've noticed, and they are all amazing to me:

- I'm 11 lbs lighter
- I'm less skeptical of other people
- I feel more loving towards my husband
- I'm more calm when things go wrong
- cravings for cooked food/junk food almost non-existant :eek:
- I don't eat anymore just because I'm bored
- I don't obsess about food
- I don't feel deprived at all
- I don't have any thoughts about going off of raw :)

:cool:

I forgot to mention...

Today is day 31 for us, and to celebrate we went out to a restaurant. I came prepared with raw salad dressing, and a note for the waitress to give to the chef about what kind of salad I'd like them to make for me. They came out with a beautiful BIG plate of salad with different cut-up and shredded veggies, then on top was celery sticks, broccoli florets and carrot sticks that they'd arranged really pretty on top. :) I was quite happy with it, and probably ate too much of it, LOL. But I was satisfied afterwards... ;)

All of those positives in just one month! What an inspiration for anyone who needs one good reason to go raw - you have very, very important reasons! I look forward to some of those positive changes too (I can relate to needing most of them). Good for you! Congratulations!

Thank you all so much for your wonderful comments. It means a lot to me that I can actually inspire others since I've been leaning on all of you for so long! ;) Not to say I don't need the support anymore (ummmm I do!!), but you know what I mean... right? :p

monkeyboy, I do totally feel like it's my lucky day when you stop by my humble post to offer support... Hey, did I ever tell you my 5-year-old daughter calls us the "monkey family" because when we go to the grocery store we always have soooo many bunches of bananas in our cart? LOL! :D

Yo Deb,


Your daughter is a wise one.


That's how I got my nickname.

When Timmy C. and I were in college all I ate were bananas and trust me plenty of brewskis.

Hence the frat boys called me Monkeyboy.


Peace and Goodwill will to your family,


M.B.
