I'm Melissa, 34, married with one child. Today is my first day raw. I tried 100% raw for a week last year but ran out of steam. Since then I've done a lot more reading and bought a couple of books (Alissa's being one of them), and I now have a dehydrator. I've been really busy with work for the past couple of weeks (I work at home), so I haven't had time to go grocery shopping. So I hadn't yet taken the plunge again.
Then today I got up and figured I'm never going to start if I keep finding reasons NOT to. I have plenty of reasons to go and stay raw--heck, even my vision has been giving me problems lately, and when I factor in my long-term digestive trouble, joint pain, weight and a ton of other little nagging physical annoyances (not to mention some hormonal imbalance the doctors haven't been able to remedy allopathically), it's just TIME. So here I am. So far so good today!
I've been reading here for awhile but only just registered today. I'm hoping to find other raw foodists here locally, but this board seems like an incredible resource. Looking forward to participating!
