Hi everyone! My name is Carrie, I live in Fort Worth and i'm 24 years old. I'm not a raw foodist yet but i'm seriously leaning towards it. I've been vegan for about 8 years now and my reasons were strictly ethical. But i've struggled with my weight throughout these 8 years and now i'm the smallest i've ever been in my adult life. I've been shifting my main focus from animals and their complete well being, to my own health and well being. I'm realizing that I can do this by changing my diet from the processed vegan foods to the fresh food of the raw way. Its quite liberating because for years I thought because something is vegan it makes it healthy but its not really the case sometimes. I thought my health would just fall into place and most of it did but I still wasn't feeling as healthy as I could. Now i've cut my portions in half or a little more than that and I eat cocao and goji berries constantly. I've fasted for a day or so 3 times and I just feel myself shifting all while still staying true to my animal friends and the other beings that we share the earth with. Its so exciting, so while i'm not completely there yet i'm listening to my body and to what it needs and wants and going with it, i'm trying not to let my brain get in the way too much.
Anywho, i'm happy to be here and I look forward to meeting everyone and taking this journey together.
