Hello :)

I have decided to accept my journey for what it is and not to hold myself to an impossible level of perfection. I realize that by grading myself each day, I am saying that somehow this journey should be a perfectly orchestrated plan of action with no detours, twists or turns, and that just wont happen. A fellow raw friend sent me an email that really opened my eyes and allowed me to surrender my self and to let my body and spirit lead me to living water.

Lost another pound today whoo hoo :)! I didn't think it was going to happen. I get lot's of opinions from people who disapprove of my way of eating.
