25 days raw and loving it!!

[cheekylas]

I am overweight and have been unhappy in my skin for nearly 14yr. I love my children but having them changed me from a beautiful vibrant energetic young woman into someone I cant even say was really me. After my mother passed away 2yrs ago I had my last daughter who I named Willow because I belive God gave her to me to help heal my pain. She is my healing tree. I at my heaviest weighted 240lbs got down to 200 before Willow went to 220 after her birth(she 15mth) dieted got to 190 and stopped. That was in dec and nothing happened. I watched fat sick and nearly dead so I planned a fast. However I did not juice I used smoothies. The first 48 hrs I water fasted then went to the smoothies. I did fruit and greens. It was great but I resumed school and decided rather than do just smoothies I will eat veg and drink fruit for a little while. I am planning to sprout beans and grow wheatgrass and am working on turning my yard into an edible one as well as planning a beautiful veg garden in spring. Well thats my story except to tell you I weight 166lbs now and am seeing my self iin the mirror imerging. I feel truely energized and am thankful for all the help and encouragement I can get. May God Bless your day.

Hi Elizabeth,

You have really come a long way! How many children do you have? I have two, 9 and 5. They are wonderful, aren't they? But like you I have focused so much on them that I didn't do much for myself. So I'm going to give this raw food challenge a go--and I'm going to give sprouting a try too. I hope I can be as enthusiastic as you are after 25 days!

You're an inspiration!
