Hello everyone! I have been on this board in the past, but I found myself gravitating back here again this spring because I want to be healthy. Call it intuition, but for some reason I feel like eating raw/whole is the only way that I can kick start that journey! Not to mention, that once the snow melts up here, I tend to crave to NOT eat meat(does that make sense?) I say it like that because I see far to many unhealthy vegetarians on a daily basis so for me that lable of vegetarian doesn't quite fit me.
I would like to say to you all thank you for being here! You guys are all such great supporters and resources and I know that even if this year, I don't get it right, you will be here for me to get back on the wagon again.
A bit about me, I am 36 years old, I was a significantly underweight child until I got my tonsils removed at 7 yo and I learned that I could finally swallow! By the time I was 8, I was officially "plump" and I have continued to grow in all directions ever since. But it hasn't been until recently that I have felt the negative effects of my weight and that is not flying in my household!
People keep looking at me like I am crazy when I tell them that I want to go raw and I find it to be the funniest thing! Because I believe that by doing this, I can assist my body to rebuild/repair the damage I have done by being over weight. People don't understand that for me it isn't about losing weight, it's about being a healthy, happy, WHOLE person.
I'm not sure how this will journey will end, but I really look forward to getting to know you all along the way!
