Tomorrow i'm starting my journey on the raw food diet. Not only am I turning to this diet for weightloss, i'm turning to it for hope. A hope to renew my life, and to find happiness, and also clear up my skin.

You see, i've struggled with my weight since I was maybe about 7 years old, when my parents told me that later down the road I would have a weight problem, and I wouldn't be able to eat the same foods as other kids (chips, soft drinks, ice cream, etc.). And while I did struggle to maintain my weight at such an early age, I learned the value of eating healthy food.

My weight continued to climb until I reached the 8th grade, and by that time I had gone through all the hurt of people ridiculing me because I was the "bigger one" in the classroom. During the end of 7th and the beginning of 8th, I had reached 141 pounds. I had finally gotten to my breaking point realizing that enough is enough! I went on the South Beach Diet and would continue to struggle with fad diets, as my weight would fluctuate continously.

I guess I really never got over the hurt of people being so cruel, and now at 16 and still struggling with a weight problem, although I have gotten my weight down to where it is at an almost normal level, I still have about 20 pounds to go, to get me to a healthy weight for my height.

I'm begging you, imploring you to help me on this journey and to give me words of wisdom and strength. I have been let down so many times. I'm truley hoping that this way of living will help me.

The beauty of raw is that you can eat whatever raw foods you want, as much as you want, and reach your ideal weight. I am 17 and although I wasn't overweight to begin with, I have lost 5 pounds in my 2 months raw, my skin has gone from covered in acne to glowing and I feel so much more energetic. It's about so much more than just weight loss and I'm sure that once you get over detox you'll feel great!

THIS IS THE BEST TIME FOR YOU, YOU ARE READY TO CHANGE YOUR LIFE AND TO RECEIVE YOUR BLESSINGS. IT WILL WORK AND HAS ALREADY HAPPEN. IT STARTS WITH YOUR THINKING- HOW YOU VIEW THINGS. VISUALIZE YOURSELF HEALTHY AND DO WHAT HEALTHY PEOPLE DO- THEY EAT RIGHT AND STAY ACTIVE-I ALWAYS HATE THE WORD "EXERCISE". DO FUN ACTIVITIES THAT MAKES YOU MOVE! BY EATING RAW, IS THE BEST START IN YOUR YOUNG LIFE, THIS WILL CARRY ON THROUGHOUT ADULTHOOD. AND AS FAR AS THE TEASING AND HURTING YOUR FEELINGS. BABY, WHEN PEOPLE DON'T LIKE THEMSELVES, THEY LOOK TO OTHERS TO HURT BECAUSE THEY ARE HURTING. AND THEY LASH OUT AT OTHERS. DON'T LET THEIR PAIN BECOMES YOURS. GONE ON AND BRUSH YOUR SHOULDERS OFF AND HOLD YOUR HEAD UP HIGH. YOU HAVE NOTHING TO BE ASHAME ABOUT OR EMBARASS. I TOO USE TO BE ONE OF THOSE OVERWEIGHT TEENS AND I GOT TEASED TOO BUT MY MOTHER WAS THE BEST TEACHER. SHE TOLD ME THEY WERE JEALOUS AND WISHED THEY WERE LIKE ME, PRETTY AND SMART. AND WHEN I FELT IT, THEY DID GRAVITATE TOWARD ME AND THEY WANTED TO BE LIKE ME BECAUSE I WAS ONE CONFIDENT, PRETTY, BIG GIRL AND I WORE IT WELL. YOU COULD'NT HURT ME NOR TOUCH MY SPIRIT!!! TODAY, YOU START WALKING WITH THAT NEW ATTITUDE WHERE THEY CAN'T TOUCH YOU NOR HURT YOU, WE WILL GET TIRED AND MOVE ON TO SOMEONE ELSE. LAUGH WHEN THEY LAUGH!! ATTACK THEIR INTELLIGENCE- DO THEY HAVE ANY?:D
GOD DON'T MAKE MISTAKES, PEOPLE DO AND YOU ARE NOT A MISTAKE. IF YOU LOOK IN THE MIRROR, YOU WILL SEE PERFECTION AT ITS' BEST. OH! THAT WILL BE YOU!!!:D (lol).
PEACE AND BLESSINGS TO YOU PRETTY ONE.
