When I started RAW about a year and 2 months ago'ish give or take a coupe weeks, the one thing I remember always worrying about was if I was getting enough greens, fats, etc. Now that I have ALMOST gotten to where I want to be..........I realized that worrying about what I worried about was the worst thing I did, I could have gotten where I am not if I hadent worried so much.

If I had just ate what I wanted, whether it just be apples and pineapple, or lots of bananas and mangos.... and not worry about eating 2lbs of greens today, or if I even ate ANY, which on most days I dont... this would have been a lot easier.

Now that I am sort of where I want to be, I am finding it a lot easier to now think about how much of what I am consuming, making sure I eat a lot of greens, green juicer and such....

Its pretty nice!

Just dont worry. JUST EAT, a lot, or a little, WHATEVER. Dont eat something just because you feel like you should! For instance, I felt that I should eat a lot of cucumbers for good skin, HOWEVER, Im not a HUGE fan....and if I ate a bowl of cucumbers, then I would be miserable and say "this raw thing sucks, Ill never be able to do this"... NEGATIVE..dont do it to yourself!!!!!!!!...I now drink cucumber juice everyday! but only because I now love cucumbers!

I know a lot of people have probably said this, However, I needed to set my realization in stone! hehe Might be helpful for newbies!

Thanks for listenin!

Amen! Amen! Amen!

Do what works for you and don't worry so much about everyone else, even the raw "experts."

Indeed, Sarah. You have captured the spirit of the Raw Lifestyle - I tell the people I work with on eating RAW the same thing... listen to YOUR body.

Each body is different, and for each of us, the process will be different, too!!!

Revel in the uniqueness of YOUR journey, and be at peace with where you are today.

RAW = PEACE :)

just eat... that's what i tell people. as long as it's raw and live... eat!!!

i love the way alissa promotes that... eat eat eat eat eat.

cause honestly, once you get your nutrition up in your body... your body will let you know what you need... you just need to listen ;)
