    Hi Dianne! Those look like new pics, and you are looking soooo different. You should post a thread in the before/after forum. Look what a year has done for you!

    We all seem to go through tough times. The one and two year marks have their own set of pitfalls. Good for you for turning it around so quickly.

    I used to plan out every bite of food that morning or the night before. Then I went to keeping a list of options to choose from. Nowadays I make sure there is plenty of food in the house and figure it out as I go. The only planning ahead I do is for dehydrated items and other recipes that need planning and soaking.

    Nice to see you back. :)

    Hello Dianne,

    I see you are south of Seattle. I am on Bainbridge Island. Congratulations on 1 year raw! Isn't it a fun journey? I am not all raw, but have been on this site a few years. I just love raw food firsts. Like today I made raw sunburgers for the first time. Yum! And recently tried sea tangle kelp noodles.

    I'm lacking motivation for my usual breakfast green smoothie as well. Instead I've been craving rich chocolatey smoothies (maybe because of the cool weather)with banana, raw almonds, medjool dates, cinnamon, nutmeg, cocoa powder, and water. I don't have specific advice on staying raw other than just keep it fun and try new things. It is such a blessing to have raw food. Take care.

    I'm hitting 55 this month. I sure don't feel like it. Raw 50's is the new 30's! ;) I'm about 30-60 minutes (depending on traffic), north of Seattle. Which raw recipe book do you use the most?
