I realized the other day it's been two years since I joined Raw Food Talk......boy, that's hard to believe~ I did the 30 day challenge when I started, lost almost 20 lbs. and felt incredible. Since then I let cooked food back in, ate varying degrees of raw...always higher than I had before but really playing around with it. I had a back back injury, was on some heavy drugs (me who wouldn't even take an aspirin before) and went thru a year and a half in a pain filled blur, part of that time in a wheelchair.
I still ate a lot more raw than I ever had before but also a lot of other stuff. I kept going, kept trying to reach my goals, kept trying to keep my focus on the fact that life is a journey and we are learning all the time and moving forward. Thru a ton of false starts and stops I am finally back to 100% raw. It's funny because it's different now. It isn't a struggle. I have such a peace about it that I never really felt before.
Two years may seem like a long time to transition to this wol but I think for me it has been exactly what it is...a moving away from one thing toward a fully embracing of another. I say this because I read so many posts from new people that come on and they are searching, trying to figure out what works and what doesn't and really it is so a matter of pushing ahead and working thru various issues both with food, culture, enviroment...spirit.
Anway....enough rambling around. I'm thankful to Alissa for providing this source of unlimited support. I wouldn't be entering the very best part of my life otherwise~
