Hi,
I haven't been around in a long time. Been a crazy year. I went off raw, obviously, but that hasn't stopped me from trying to incorporate it back into my life. So even thought I haven't been posting, I'm still determined to go (and stay) raw.
Most of the time, it's not a matter of wanting junk food or cooked food, but rather, the lack of convenience of the raw food lifestyle. I hate chopping and peeling. I'd rather fold laundry all day, lol. So that's a big issue. Oh, if only all produce was as convenient as the banana!
Anyway, I got really heavy again, almost to 300 pounds! But I lost all the pregnancy weight, and then some, thanks to raw. I had gotten as low as 263 when I made the mistake in early July of going shopping while hungry. I really needed to eat, and ended up getting some "traditional" 4th of July fare, which led right back to two weeks of bad eating.
Now I'm raw again, and back down to 269. My first mini-goal of 250 is in sight! But more importantly, I'm eating healthy and feeling better, and feeding my family right.
So, now that I'm back, I searched for the old "Obese Raw Foodists" threads, and couldn't find them. They're still there, as I found them by googling them, but they must be too old to search for within the forum. So I'm wondering if any of the old posters to those threads are still active, and how you're doing...? :cool:
