I am not new to raw, I first learned about about it 4 years ago from my mother. I have tried it off and on since then but not successfully. It has been awhile since I tried last.

I am 32 years old but feel about fifty. I have never been a healthy eater and hate to exercise along with living a very stressful life for the past 13 years. It has taken its toll. I am sick and tired of feeling sick and tired.

What has motivated this course is my children. I am 14 weeks pregnant with my 3rd child and have a beautiful girl and boy that need me to be my best and I am just not that. They have so much energy and vitality and want so much for me to be there with them. Right now I am just a big tired blob all the time and they overwhelm me.

The great thing about being pregnant (this time anyway) is I am craving raw foods. I keep watching Alissa's dvd and my mouth just waters. I am determined to finish out this pregnancy raw and continue on after. My start date is Janurary 28th. I want to start earlier but thats part of the reason I failed before because I rushed it when I wasn't prepared. I know with my limited mental and physical energy I need to have crackers and things like that already ready and the food in the house, which isn't easy with 2 kids.

Thank you for listening,

Peachy

Hey there! Welcome to the board, it's nice to meet you!! I'm 32 as well & man, I know all about that sick and tired thing. I have 2 girls & I want to be so healthy for them. After 5 months at 100% I'm waiting to get that energy, but I think more weight needs to come off first & possibly more detoxing. I did treat my body badly before with all the junk foods. I'm trying to be patient. You're so blessed to crave raw foods during the pregnancy! Awesome!! I look forward to getting to know you better, so please jump right in!:D
