New from Phoenix, AZ

Hi everyone!

I'm totally new to the forum but I've been embracing the raw/whole food lifestyle for several months now. I've never felt healthier in my entire life and its so much easier now to control my weight. I don't have cravings, I have more energy, and I'm getting rid of a bad emotional eating habit.

I attribute this all to my new found raw way of eating. I want to continue to embrace this lifestyle in everything that I do so I'm getting into organic gardening and really educating myself on whole food nutrition. Its been such a wonderful, eye-opening ride so far.

Since my family and friends still think I'm crazy, which baffles my mind since they see how much healthier I am now, I figured I should join a forum so that I could mingle with people that share my views. So that's why I'm here!

I have a lot to learn still and I look forward to chatting with you all and exchanging ideas.

Best,

Gina

Welcome, neighbor! I'm in the Phonenix area, acutally in Mesa/Gold Canyon.

There are a couple of raw potlucks in the area, if you haven't already found them, here is a link that lists them http://www.rawforlife.com/page8.html

Hope you meet you at one.:)

Welcome, welcome! Yes lots of adjustments when we go raw- it can scare people at first. After awhile though they adjust and even come to you for help when they are ready to be healthy too.

Hope to see you at the Raw Spirit Festival in Sedona if you make it!:)
