Trying to get there..

[Sactown]

Hi, I saw Alissa on the Tyra Banks show a few months ago and was intrigued. I purchased the book/DVD and have been trying a bunch of recipies since. I've been struggling with going 100% raw the last couple of months but I'm trying. I really like the support that folks are offering on this site.

I've put on a lot of weight over the last 10 years and I'm pretty miserable. I have about 60 lbs to lose and I'm sick of the start/stop diet syndrome that has defined my health and life. My blood levels are out of wack and I'm taking the cholesterol pills and something else as well.

After reading Alissa's book I decided that I wanted to go RAW. I've been trying but for some reason was thinking that I needed a friend to do this with me. Guess what, none of my friends are interested. After keeping an eye on this site, I think I found the support I need.

Onward and forward.....thanks, DJ

Oh yeah! You've got a whole slew of friends here. From all corners of the world! We're in this together. It will only get better. You've taken the first BIG step - realizing you are sick and tired of being sick and tired. That's how I was. I was at my wit's end. Then my Angel - Alissa came to me.
Good luck on your raw journey. Post here often.
