hi everyone...

I am new to raw food and to this forum. I am a 31 yr old single mother of a 10 yr old little girl. We live in Mississippi but we are originally from New Orleans. I think I have picked a great time to try something new (New Year's Resolutions and all). I guess I have decided to do this because, for lack of a better way to put it... I just feel OLD... too old for my age. I am sluggish and tired and I have no energy ALL OF THE TIME. I am also the heaviest I have been in my life (not overweight but the HIGH side of average). Life has become work, daughter and sleep. Repeat. I have tried in the past month to get back to jogging (something I have not done in about 5 yrs) and it is a huge struggle. I am hoping my change in diet in combination with the jogging will do the trick and open a new door for me. I can't wait to start the January challenge! :D

I totally can relate to you feeling old and sluggish. Before I started to eat raw I was tired all the time. My husband would have described me as lethargic! Now I have extra energy and never feel tired after I eat - I feel nourished and have energy! Glad to have you with us at RFT! I know soon you will feel the same!

Thanks so much...

well I am definitely ready to begin. I am anxiously awaiting the arrival of my new juicer (ordered from Amazon). Going tomorrow to stock up on fruits and veggies...

Welcome, & on the same day I'm returning! You'll likely find that your energy increases by the day, as many do when going raw! & maybe start with walking more, alternating with jogging, but not pushing too hard at first, until your energy increases...
...is your daughter going raw with you? Mine is, sorta...I suspect she'll be more like 80%, at least for awhile, until we gather all the ingredients to try lots of new recipes!
Enjoy your time here!
