Hi All~
I am a 43 year old Mom to two lovely little girls (ages 5 and 6)
I have been in 15 year struggle with my weight/depression resulting in frustration and shame. Recently, while working at Starbucks, I had a customer come through and she was absolutely BEAUTIFUL. She really did Glow so I asked her what her secret was. She told me that she ate Raw Food. (She drinks Herbal Passion Iced Tea @Starbucks) ;)
Now I have been on just about every stinking diet you've ever heard of but I was not familiar with that one. I've been browsing the internet which eventually brought me here. Then I bought the book. Exciting Stuff! I have been frequenting some really cool Health Food Stores and Co-op Groceries... and am now proud to say that I am vegetatrian as of 5 days ago and 100% Raw as of Yesterday. 2008 is going to be a year of change for me. I have signed up for Yoga for Bountiful Bodies and a family Yoga class to enjoy with the girls.
I am taking a totally different approach in immersing myself completely in trying new recipes and new things...It's so much fun! I'm feeling great and looking forward to the new year.
