So yes, I've been lurking here for a few months now and finally decided to sign up officially and say hi. Hi.
Um, just noticed that my avatar gif isn't quite working the way I hoped it would.. of well.
Right, back to the introductions; I've been high raw for 2 and half months now, and after a wonderfull start I feel like I could use some more support. This is definitely a lifestyle that I want to embrace for the rest of my life and aside from my teeth getting sensitive I feel absolutely phenomenol on it, only.. yeah, the place I live, the point in my life and relatives are making my resolve falter. The place I live has very limited options as far as purchasing raw goods goes. There'sa single raw food restaurant in the entire country and it's not in my city. Grocery store offerings are surprisingly limited. There's no marketplace for buying fresh produce. You get the idea. I'm currently unemployed and the lack of money is stressing me out which usually means self-medicating with food which I'm determined to avoid this time. And in the past week things have come to a head with my dad's GF to such extent that I'm very much affraid I wont be spending my upcoming birthday with them. I'm just tired of having to defend every single lifestyle choice to her and have her give me the silent treatment just because I don't think going to the doctor and eating heaps of pills just so I can eat some bagels and sweets is the right way to go.
Sorry about complaining. But yeah, I'm a bit stressed out at the moment and it's starting to affect my mood and cravings and I'm hoping to find inspiration here to get past that.
:D see, I'm smiling already.
