Hi everyone,

I began the raw food journey with Alissa's book and dvd's. I joined this site, participated a little bit, and have been working at being 100% raw ever since.

I've been floating around the raw food websites now for over a year and half. I purchased a lot of books, done a few cleanses and fasts, learned enough about the raw food WOL to get thoroughly confused and frustrated :confused: and consider myself fortunate to have landed right back where I started, on Raw Food Talk!

Why today? Because I feel like CRAP! Yesterday I went absolutely bonkers. We were on the road and I didn't plan well - and I ate fast food malts and french fries :eek: until I couldn't stop. Soooo, I have a giant headache, (typical following a day of SAD food, especially when I eat dairy, any kind of dairy). I ache all over, my head is loaded with mucous and snot and emotionally I'm a wreck, just depressed and down and very sad :( .

But, I am hopeful, because I know how good I can feel and have felt in the past when I ate raw, unadulterated, organic fruits, veggies, nuts and seeds.

I am so tired of trying to do this by myself. I am throughly convinced that I can't do this by myself. So, I'm back and sooo grateful that this forum and you all still exist as living proof that this WOL works.

Is it still possible for me to jump in and join the June challenge at this late date?

like maybe you've been a wee bit hard on yourself. I don't think we're supposed to "go it alone."

One of the things I have loved about this site and Alissa's book is how much room there is for discovery, and how gently people are treated when they slip.

So, welcome back!!

(and drink lots of water to help flush the cooked stuff out of your system)
