Hi I'm Lindsay! I'm 19 from northern Utah (soon to be South Dakota)
I am a big animal lover and have a small zoo here of dogs, cats, birds, and a fish... :D I've always been very close with animals, from the beginning, so it seems to be a pretty natural progression towards, well, not eating them. I have successfully eliminated all meat from my diet and I have been flirting with the idea of doing as much raw as I can. I did a little experiment this past week and I really had no problem eating raw all day, but by dinnertime... I was so completely hungry it was ridiculous! So... I think I'm doing it wrong! Which is why I'm here! :)
I've struggled with weight my entire life, and after I got sick in high school and became homeschooled I ballooned up to over 300 lbs... Combining severe depression and the tendency to eat my feelings with the only movement being from one area of the house to another... well... Obviously it became a problem. Luckily, I am now down below the 300 mark (thanks to the last several months of not eating meat)... but I am FAR from my goal... healthy. I don't have any number in mind or pant size. I just want to feel good. I've been doing a lot of reading and I am very interested in the raw lifestyle... So I'm here to learn.
