Here is my before. In June we moved to Nevada and I fell into a major depression and gained 31 lbs since.. I am determined. I have increased my green smoothies- I am getting in 2 plus pounds of greens a day..I am keeping it simple for now.. green smoothies, salads, fresh fruit and veggies.. that is it..
Excuse the messy hair - our pilot light went out so I haven't been able to shower since Wednesday! Propane guy is supposed to be here any minute..
I started raw about a week ago but it has been an emotional week.. I am an emotional eater.. Today I am just praying I make it through the day..

    Not a horrible picture by the way... You can do it...journaling and prayer always help!!! One step at a time right? From what I read in your post...it seems you are on a great start...I understand emotional eating...and for me the blogging really helps. (((hugs))) you came to the right place!!!!!

    Hi joyfulmama. Just want you to know that I'm thinking about your struggle today. I am also praying I will get through it without touching any cookies or cake etc. Had a get-together here last night - thus the junk in the house - also my husband eats it. You have a young and pretty face, not horrible at all.:) And you must be a very loving Mum who I see has many skills! Keep on keeping on!
