hello,

well, I have Alissa's book and DVD on the way....and some sprout kit and wheatgrass growers kit and juice presser. thats about as far as Ive gone.
I am 31 with a husband (who likes junkfood) 4 year old twins and a 19 month old....I stay home in a small community which makes eating healthy a little challenging (thas why i ordered the kits).
I used to be very healthy, workout...ate great but not raw.I long for that old healthy feeling. Now Im 20 lbs over weight, crave food all the time and am not that active. I am weary of the caffiene withdrawls and taking care of the kids at the same time. and the expense and time this may take. I dream of a life that im not addicted to food and the awful cycle it creates of coming down and craving and on and on. SO that is what motivates me. I look forward to monday when my sprouting things and all that gets here, book some time next week. well I am at the begining, very begining...not quite on the boat yet i guess but convinced this is it for me. Well i will keep up this post as i make steps in the direction...any inspiration would be great. :o
Advice on going into this slow or cold turkey?? any insight on that would be great. Thank you!!

Hi there & welcome:)
My advice would be to read Alissa's book & watch the dvd & then you will be so inspired you will intuitively know which will be the best way forward for you
I tried to go raw many times before finding this site & Alissa's book/dvd & never made it past a couple of weeks, since getting all the support, encouragement & tips here plus Alissa's input i am just loving this new lifestyle & just know this is how I will be eating from now on;)

Welcome! Good for you making the decision to do it! Until the book arrives just post a question and there are so many helpful people on here...there is also a search tool, scroll to the top and click on the banana. I agree with Crystal, what works for one person doesn't alwasy work for the next. Keep trying and find what works for you. You can do it!
