Who am I? I am a young, bright girl with many lessons I have learned from the past. I am new to the raw vegan world but am being pulled in like a magnet. I am the daughter of two SAD eaters, and also the sister of two SAD siblings. That is me. Do you want to know who I WAS?
I was just like any other athletic teenage girl. I spent my entire 16 years on this earth slim in trim off of SAD food. After 16 years of abuse, my body stared to shut down. I had headaches, I always got sick, I was getting ready for knee surgery although the doctors didn't know exactly what was wrong, I was not digesting properly so I would involuntarily throw up after consuming most SAD foods. I was sick of being sick and tired of being tired. Just recently I had some blood work done and found out I was anemic. I never really liked dark meat, I loved cold cuts, but not dark meat. I especially didn't like lettuce. I would have it if it was in a nice bowl with some garlic croutons and caesar dressing, but other than that, my intake on leafy greens were minimum. I tried every diet there was. I found myself heading toward anorexia, becoming scared and turning into an emotional eater. I gained 25 pounds in the past year, now it is time I let it go. Who I used to be doesn't make me who I am now. I have forgotten about all the mistakes I have made and all the changes I have gone through, but I don't regret any of it. They don't make up the girl writing this. They brought me to realizing who I REALLY am, not who I was. I am now the girl I want to be. I am losing weight, I am full of energy, and I'm actaully excited to eat. I am living today with eyes of the future, not the past.
