Hi, Im Wendy from N.E. Texas...Im going to be starting Raw as soon as I can...(DHs payday lol) Im not only very overweight but I also have ALOT of health issues..and have tried over the years to lose weight with just about every single diet out there without long term success...

But now that my little one just turned 3 and Im feeling older and crappier everyday Ive finally decided that I MUST MUST MUST not only lose weight but become healthier...along with living a healthier life style my heart condition will improve (as well as my other stuff), I pray I will someday be able to stop taking much of my medications AND most importantly I will live longer...I want to see my little girl grow up and have a family of her own someday...I have alot going against me with my many health conditons but I know things can only get better with the right changes...

Ummm well okay thats pretty much it lol...didnt mean to get heavy with my first post but I gotta do it right and now ya know...

Anyway nice to meet everyone and I hope to learn alot from yall :)

Welcome and good luck on your journey.

Wendy.....I want to say welcome and wish you the best. I hope you'll get a chance to read Alissa's book and watch her DVD, I think they would really be motivating. Some have said that they have found it at their library. Okay, I'm going to sound like your mother, you've got to see yourself as you want to be before you will become what you desire....so I'd love to see you change the fatty part of your name. Maybe I'm really out in left field because I have no clue as to what the FFO after fatty stands for. We're all cheering for your success in seeing you meet your goals....GO FOR IT!!!

hey, girl, NE Texas is great! Hot out there, yes, but with Central Market, Market Street, Whole Foods, the Sunflower Shoppe, and so many farmer's markets, we have an abundance of raw! Have you checked out the Spiral Diner?
