hello everyone,

Just a quick note to say hello and introduce myself. I'm Liz and I live in Los Angeles. I have decided to go raw again after a couple weeks of letting cooked foods back into my life so I am challenging myself to 30 days at 100%.

I love most of the raw things I eat. I'm very adventurous when it comes to preparing raw dishes. I love to try new things to keep me interested.
I just sometimes miss my favorite cooked foods. Maybe because they are good or maybe because they are easy. Not sure.
I will have to remind myself that cooked foods, although i like the way some may taste, have done a number on my body and so they don't belong there anymore. :p

Ugh, in a couple of days, I'll remember why I'm raw. Right now, I'm just feeling the bloat.:D

If anybody has any advise, I'd love to hear it. I can alway use a little love and support .


Ciao

Hi there! I simply want to say to love yourself no matter what. Don't be too hard on yourself and hug yourself everyday. Just realize that this raw experience is your very own journey. There are no deadlines and you are not racing against anyone here.

Think about why you have chosen this journey and then just be proactive, and support yourself. You can always find support here if no where else. I am still new to this. I embraced raw on August 1st of last year. This year will make my 1 year raw anniversary.

I have learned to see every realization, every struggle, every new recipe discovered - EVERYTHING, no matter how small or seemingly insignificant should be celebrated. Every moment along this journey offers an opportunity to learn about our bodies and our power, every moments offers new discoveries and new realizations. Every moment empowers us to continue through the struggles.

You are going to just fine:)
