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.
