New to Raw- 5 days and counting

[c'estlaviebelle]

Hello everyone! I'm 24 and live in the OC area. I have experimented with raw in the past, but was unsuccessful due to not having a real goal and plan. Plus I overwhelmed myself with info, which turned out to be detrimental.

Now, a year later, I've been eating about 80-90% raw for 5 days, and I find it is getting easier, plus I LOVE the way I feel right now. I've had a mild runny nose/cough (probably residual from the flu though, although it may be detox), but other than that my energy has been through the roof and I haven't been getting that sleepy feeling after lunch anymore.

I hope to get down to my optimal weight again by utilizing raw eating habits, but I am also doing this as a lifestyle change agent.

Nice to meet all of you and I look forward to reading all of your raw-some stories! :)

Thanks for the welcome! I'm so glad to be here and I really think I am going to be successful this time. I had some cravings for cooked food this evening, so I went over to mother's market cafe and got a brown rice bowl with some veggies. I wish I had been able to stay completely raw, but I figured better to give into my craving a healthy, vegan way instead of depriving myself and completely blowing it by eating pizza or something...

Mattye Lee- Your progression has been awesome! Good for you! :) i LOVE reading all of the inspirational stories here online!

I know I will learn tons from all of you and I look forward to making lots of new friends!
