Hi I'm Sue from Santa Monica, CA, home to a great variety of raw foods options!!! My husband and I are going raw and today is Day 2 for me. I feel great but do NOT need to lose any weight and am a little concerned about this, but Alissa covers this issue in her book, which is very helpful. I am finding the food to be very satisfying and appreciate that I can eat to satiety without the guilt, as I am also recovering from and eating disorder. Family is not so supportive, thinking this is just another "diet" and overly restrictive. This is why this community is so awesome -- to have the support from fellow raw people and not be made to feel like one is crazy The last 3 months have been a gradual weaning from cooked food, especially wheat, breads, and also from coffee. I just bought Living on Live Food and am finding it very inspiring and practical. Looking forward to the raw life!!!!!!!!!!!:

Lol, love your positive energy, Sue.

I also didn't have much weight to lose, but I have reached an ideal weight and am staying at it without any effort.

All the best and keep us posted on your progress!
