Caty

Hey everyone! I'm Caty (sounds like Katie) and I live in Washington state, just west of Seattle. :D
A couple months ago, I was almost completely raw, and by that I mean I would eat raw food for almost all of my meals, but the meals that weren't raw were complete garbage (like McDonald's, that was a big one). Because of those awful yet addicting food choices, I kinda fell out of it.
My mom has late meetings every Wednesday, and often more during the week, and because of that and my dad's lack of cooking skills, I'm kinda the one that's in charge of dinner (and by that I mean my dad would tell me to go pick up Taco Time or pizza of some sort). He eats a steak for all meals otherwise, with a salad, but still. Obviously, I don't live in the most healthy environment, and I think it's definitely rubbed off on me. My brother is pretty overweight, and I've tried to talk to my mom about stop buying him junk food (she used to get us doughnuts every Saturday, and after a while I realized how bad this was for me, so I stopped eating them completely. My brother, not so much) but she just says "Oh but he likes it..." and doesn't seem to get it.
So obviously, I live with my parents. I'm 17 years old, will be 18 in October, and I want to take control of my life again. This past week, I went out to a bonfire with friends and had a chicken burger that was drenched in teriyaki sauce, went to Jack and the Box that same night, McDonald's the next day, and Red Robin the day after that. I can't keep doing that, it makes me feel greasy and just gross.
I would post a picture that shows off my not so slim figure, but I can't seem to find any, probably because I'm embarrassed about how I look and feel 99% of the time.
I'm 5'3", 142 lbs and ready to be raw again. I just need a little motivation.
Ps. I'm sleepy, and going to bed after this, so I don't know how much of this will actually make sense haha. :p
