Hi Everyone,
Some of you may remember me from a couple years ago. It has been more than a year since I last posted.
I am back with my tail tucked between my legs, having fallen off the raw wagon big time. After being nearly 100% raw for about 2 years, I was back to a horrible SAD diet until a month ago. :( I felt awful all the time.
A month ago I was in a bad car accident (as the passenger) in which I broke my nose, jaw, and 4 ribs, along with various other bruises and scrapes. Since I have my jaw wired, I am very limited to what I can eat. My doctor suggested protein drinks and milkshakes, but after a couple weeks of that I am exhausted all the time and feel bloated as I've never been able to digest milk well.
So I recalled my green smoothie days and have been drinking them as well as preparing fresh fruit and veggie juices and some raw tomato soup.
I've been reading this board over the past couple days and wondering why on earth I left this way of life. I've been making a lot of life changes over the past year, including the fact that I will be moving to England at the end of the year. I want so much to be part of this glowing, vital community once again. Once the wires are off, I want to crave apples and salads, not hamburgers and junk food.
Even though I'm embarrassed at having to start all over again, I am so glad to have made this decision. I look forward to "seeing" those who were here when I was, and to meet some new folk. :)
