Hi Raw Friends,
Today it has been one year since I changed my diet and lifestyle to the raw way.
Alissa's book gave me the final push, I had contemplated going raw for YEARS. Reading her book gave me the confidence to GO FOR IT!
What a year it has been!!
I want to share a few of the highlights in hopes to encourage others that may be struggling.
~ I feel very good!
~I have more energy than ever before
~ I have clarity of thought
~ I have more stamina
~ I am at my perfect weight of 125
~All of my clothes fit so well!
~My skin is clear and I look younger than before I started
~Food does not have the same addictive grip it had on me before, I eat to live, not live to eat
~I have learned so much, what foods are good for us, how to detox and so on, I had my first fast and colon cleanses, very beneficial!!
~ Food makes me feel GOOD, not bloated and stuffed.
~Several rather serious health issues have cleared up
The challenges have been.... in the beginning it was tough. It took me about 6 months to stop feeling deprived and stop craving cooked food. Now I look at it and have no desire what so ever.
I also felt lonely as there are not too many people that "get" this lifestyle. I am forever grateful to this board and my new raw friend Bette, lovenlife!!
What a great support she has been. Every one on this board is so willing to lend a helping hand and support when needed.
Now I am quite comfortable with this way of life and like it very much.
Is life perfect now that I am raw? NO. Do I feel wonderful all of the time? NO Do I still have a few health issure? YES, but life seems so much better these days, and I am grateful.
I wish everyone success and joy on their own personal journey.
Namaste.
With Love and Gratitude,
Terry
