Hello there,
I am really dedicated to becoming a full time raw vegan! It resonates with me socially, spiritually, environmentally, it so many ways. When I think of the human "animal" from an anthrological pov it just makes more sense that we eat food as it is found in nature just as every other animal on our planet does.
That's all well and feel goody but it doesn't make this journey any easier for me. I've "gone raw" two time now. This past November I really dove in and had such success: weight loss, better sleep, better skin, better moods, etc.. everything you read about in all the testimonials. But one day, at a holiday party, not to be rude, I ate some pasta, then a few days later I craved and ate something else cooke, and little by little her I am, 6 months later and I've gained weight back, am cranky, don't sleep well, wake up achey and am stressed.
So I'm goin raw again!! Sometime I read and think I will ease into it and just add more fruit to my lifestyle but this approach does not work for me. I feel like I'm not really going raw, just postponing going raw. So I'm hoping that by 'visiting' with you fine, like minded, folks every day and by posting my results I will REMEMBER what it is I want. Remember it when I'm out with friends, when I'm cooking for my family, when I wake up in the middle of the night. Just..remember that this is one of my only authenically MINE choices I've made for myself.
Thank you:)
