Hi from the Midwest

[DeeAnn]

I am high raw, working towards 100%. I have some health issues I want to heal and others I want to avoid.

I'm 46, a stay at home wife. My only child started college this year so I'm learning what it's like to have an empty nest. My husband is very supportive of my raw food and even buys me lots of fruits and vegetables! He's not interested in it at all but does respect that I am.

I'm looking forward to meeting others here and learning more about how to eat for the best nutrition.

I wish you everything you need to Stay RAW..........Welcome to MY World.

Welcome DeeAnn. :) Support is key. Your husband may even decide to become raw, at least partially later, once he sees the positive effects in you.

^ I second that husband part, I see a good chance of it happening too. Also, welcome!

[DeeAnn]

thank you all for the welcome! I went out of town for a few days and was away from my computer. I don't see my husband EVER going raw but at least he's supportive of me!

DeeAnn, THIS is perfect timing. I think that is when I began to take care of me in life. In fact I KNOW it was then, when I had empty nest. It is perfect timing. Whether he eats raw or not, you can do this. He might come round as he tastes the foods.

Happy to have you here. You are onto something huge my friend.

Hi DeeAnn, welcome to the forum :)

I think it is wonderful you have such a supportive husband, it makes such a difference if people respect your choices :D

Good luck on your journey and have fun!
