Hi there!
My name is Amy. I'm 31 years old and live in Ohio. Married and have a beautiful 15 month old baby girl.
I have a lot of health problems (Migraines, Depression, blood clots, heart burn, etc.) and was looking for ideas on how I could heal and feel better, and lose some weight. I found the raw food diet online, and did a lot of reading. Bought Alissa's book and CD, which I think are great! Something just immediately clicked with me once I found out about this way of eating, it just felt like the right thing to do.
Between being pregnant, and some medications I am on, I now weigh 212 lbs. (Actually 205 since I started eating raw last week!) I'm tired of being tired, sick, and depressed.
I have thought for a long time that many ailments are probably caused by processed foods, and all the junk they put into everything we eat. There isn't much "natural" food out there anymore. I look forward to getting healthy! And so far so good! :)
-Amy
