Hi all,
I was just wondering if there are any moms of young children in NYC? I feel like I can really use a weightloss/ raw food buddy. Last month I did a 20 day fast (master cleanse) and I felt WONDERFUL. I did it to help me go 100% raw because before it I was struggling to be 100%. The first week after the fast I did okay. Although I did have a lot of dehydrated foods and raw nuts (which I know from experience don't support weight loss). But I made the mistake of allowing myself some cooked or roasted and salted nuts. And it's been downhill from then. I've been given into all kinds of unhealthy and cooked cravings/ old addictions. I had lost like 15 pounds when I fasted and now I've gained like 7 lbs. I so DESPERATELY want to experience success again but It's been so hard to get back to that place. I tried today for like the 5th day to do another fast to cleanse myself and to eliminate cravings and to help me with the raw food diet, but I gave into cooked food again. Anyway, I had a weightloss buddy a month and a half ago and I felt like it helped a lot. But she isn't doing this diet- she's doing another. I can really use the help, support, and encouragement. Again i live in NYC and am the mom of a 2 1/2 and 5 year old. I'm also a stay at home mom who homeschools. Thanks so much in advance for any encouragement/ support.
