Hello,
I was raw vegan for just under 2 years, and then went back to a vegetarian, mainly vegan diet for the past, maybe 2 years now. When I was completely raw I experienced so many amazing changes on all levels of myself. I released 50lbs of excess weight, and was 20lbs shy of my goal weight. I have a lot of feelings and thoughts as to why I stopped eating completely raw vegan. I know that emotionally I was not ready to reach my goal weight. There's a sense of vulnerability being a smaller weight when I've been overweight as long as I can remember.
I have done so much work to be where I am now mentally, spiritually, and emotionally. I've done so much healing and releasing. In that time period I needed a physical protective shell when my emotions had none. Since I stopped eating raw I've gained all that weight back, plus 10lbs more. I know that the time is now and I am ready to move forward with my life. I know that my journey, the paths I took, and the path I am taking is leading to me healing myself completely, so that I may be strong enough to help others more fully. I know that I have to take excellent care of myself so that I have an overflow to give from.
So, I joined this community so that I can learn from others and surround myself with supportive people. And along the way, I hope that I can give back and help others too. I have 70-100 lbs of excess weight to release, and I'm giving myself a time frame of 1 year. That is my goal, and this time, I am ready to achieve it.
