Hello Everyone:)
My name is Sandy and I have been raw on/off since December '08. I never planned on giving up cooked foods (never knew the amazing benefits) up until I started to struggle with acne. I isolated myself from everyone (except my closest friends and family) and began a research about my problem. So here I am almost 4 months later slowly getting rid of my problem (with a lot of set backs..) and trying to fight my binge eating and allergies to nuts (!!). Its been tough but I know raw is forever, nothing feels as right as this. I converted my best friend as well :) ohh and my mom (she's 48) and wants to look like Tonya Z. so she started juicing and eating smoothies..vanity hahha

I also wanted to say how I love this forum..I have been reading everything religiously since December and coming here just to feel such sense of warmness :) You guys are amazing! Hopefully I'll be as helpful with any info I got (i own about 10 books on raw,my guilty pleasure) and am planning on studying natural medicine this year (after deciding against becoming an artist) as you guys are after being raw for so long. So far, without interruption, I've been raw since February 6th, 2008. ohh and in far (hopefully not too far) future I am planning (dreaming) on moving to New Zeleand so I would love to hear from anyone from that country. I was born and raised in Poland, moved to U.S. when I was 11. I am almost 20 (March 31). ok ok I think wrote too much :)

I too have the guilty pleasure of owning many raw food books. I do really love many of them but Alissa's really is the best for starting out....hope you've already enjoyed it. Lucky you to have both your mother and a friend on board with you. Good Luck...Judith

Welcome Sandy!! It's so nice to meet you. I love your avatar!!:D

Glad you decided to join in & post! It's much more fun than just reading! I did the same thing though.

10 books? How cool! I can't wait to hear what cool info you'll be able to share with us!!:D

Glad your acne is getting better. Best wishes on your raw journey!!!
