Hi,

So it's been a bit over a week RAW and I'm feeling the ups and downs of it. I am really happy one moment then I get depressed the next. I start to think about if i'm getting enough nutrients. I think about what people are going to think. I worry a lot.

The reason for me going RAW in the first place was not to worry as much about things. I don't want to lose weight, I want to manage. I don't want to have to worry so much about working out vigorously like I had before. I want to balance my life. I'm just so used to eating the "normal" way. I don't want to go broke and I don't want to be malnurished. These are things I am constantly pondering.

I just met someone and when he met me he liked what he saw. I don't want him to think differently of me when he finds out that these are my eating habits. He already knows I eat healthy and keep in shape. I don't want to change dramatically body wise. I just want to be healthy and not worry about it.

When will all the judging stop from people!

Or is it just me who is worrying too much?

I know one thing- worrying doesn't contribute to health. Give raw a chance and the results will probably speak for themslves. One week is not long, give it a month and then analyze how you feel. Being healthy is about so much more than just what you eat.

Good luck!

Judging from others? Ha! ha! Don't flatter yourself. No one really cares what you do with your life.....as long as you are joyous and happy! :) Don't you think?

really..we do overthink others perception of us. and often if one is judgmental towards us, its only because of an insecurity they themselves have. at least, ive come to realize that my previous judgemental attitude was founded in such.

dont worry, youll be fine.

as a side note, us women (in general) REALLY need to stop stressing ourselves out over what men are going to think of us. its OUR body, not theres. eat what YOU want, live how YOU want, and look how YOU want. forget men. if he cant appreciate you for who you actually are, why waste time on him..right?

(im in the process of learning how to practice that myself. it takes time sometimes, but learning to love yourself first is the best step towards health i believe one can take.)
