Hi - I'm 28 and I live in Seattle. I became vegan about a year ago, and then about a month ago I decided to try being raw. I committed to eating raw for 21 days and at the end of it, I was pleasantly surprised to find that I didn't want to go back to eating cooked food!
My biggest challenge is that my husband still eats the SAD. It was hard enough to get him to understand why I became vegan, and he has finally grown accustomed to that - but now that I am transitioning to raw, it's like going through the whole battle once again.
When I was eating cooked vegan food, we could at least share dinner for the most part. I would make something like stir fry & rice and then he would just cook chicken in a separate pan and add it in himself. Now, it's a little tougher to coordinate.
I know that eventually it will get easier and I just need to be patient. It's definitely worth it because I feel so much healthier and full of energy when I am only eating raw.
