Got tired of feeling bad

[elayne]

Hi, this is my first week of going raw. I'd taken a 1 day wkshop ten yrs ago but felt overwhelmed, so I struggled with diets since and in the last few years went way down hill-depression, fatigue, lethargy, overweight, and feeling/looking old/worn down. I didn't want this any more-something had to change so last week, I googled raw food looked at YouTubes and walked up to Berkeley Natural Grocery store and checked out the raw books and Alissa Cohen's book jumped out and I bought it and I'm delighted-I read it and am stuck by its simplicity and I thought "I could do that":). So, I'm the the first week of the 30 day plan. I also started the treadmill and stretching. I want to find a good place to do yoga. Look forward to giving and getting support for this new way of living!
