As i said this blog is for me if it helps anyone else so be it.
Mind, Body and Soul are what i am working on. After 4 years of being a great relationship with my boyfriend i have discovered his eating habits are not for me. I am at my highest weight ever (229 lbs) This is a very scary place to be. I've always seen patients in the hospital who are an easy 500-600 lbs and wonder how? How do you get there? How do you allow yourself to get to such an unhealthy weight. Sometimes to such a place that you are unable to complete your own hygiene and end up with pressure ulcers. Now i am beginning to understand. Because without any thought i've managed to let myself to balloon to this size. Any while my boyfriend tells me that i am beautiful everyday i don't feel that i am. I want to feel that for myself again. I want to be able to say damn straight! I AM beautiful!
I have found myself more depressed than in years past. I don't know if it's because i feel so sluggish or because of my ever expanding body or maybe it's a combination of the two and i know this isn't me this isn't right and certainly isn't what i want for myself.
I want my soul to be at ease and happy, I want my body to be rocking the kind of rocking that gets the DAAAAMMMMMN coming out of the mouth of men (and not that wow she's skinny response) I want my mind in the right place not so focused on my body and how much i weigh.
Long term goals
  • wgt 155 lbs
  • exercise daily
  • find something that stimulates my mind (not sure what this is yet)
  • religion (not the i'm going to church now to sit like a zombie as someone spits out his thoughts and beliefs at me)
Short term goals
  • Find a good blender (my food processor was melted)
  • Lose 3 lbs this week
  • exercise 3 days for 20 mins

    Don't blow your relationship however. Just start healing you and the rest will come into place. Raw is the best healer as it is depending on your amazing human anatomy to do its stuff. The transition may seem difficult but you have to remember you will get those goals met with focus, determination, open mind and best of all, Raw food.
    Look at the before and after photos here at rawfoodtalk.
    They are great motivators. People that were much heavier than you are presently did lose the weight and are keeping it off with raw.
    I have returned, I was back to cooked for a while and have gained it all back. Back in 2005 I did 100% raw for approx. 2.5 months and lost 22 lbs. I looked so good, and felt great. Why did I go back to cooked? I made more excuses of why I could not do it instead of making excuses to do it!
    I want and will be back where I was at 2.5 months, and look forward to many years ahead as a raw vegan. It takes some mental toughness from time to time, but I feel that I have won the battle over food when I get past those hard times. I am learning that the health industry doesn't want us to be healthy, too much money in it. This is also where you will hear how you are not getting enough this or that...don't fall for it. Lots of people have been doing RAW for several years now and they are evidence that it works.
    They are loading up on God's intended food and not man's prideful pharmacy industry. Not saying if you have some serious to not seek help, as I was born with my thyroid non- functioning-never has and never will- I MUST take a synthetic form of Thyroid hormone to live. This hypothyroidism makes me prone to weight gain, brain fog, concentration issues, constipation, body pains, list goes on- Raw has been the only thing to work and take care of all issues, what magic pill can do that? Earlier this year I did Body for Life- VERY Consistant 12 weeks. I only lost like 12 lbs. Yes, I was gaining muscle, but I still had to watch what I ate and I worked so hard. I don't want to do that all my life to attempt to keep it off when I already know what will work. I am at my heaviest too. Just started this last week, and also ordered Colonix (colon cleansing) to get a good start on getting my RAW journey a real head start. Go look at the pics here, think and imagine yourself at your goal, imagine yourself doing your favorite things in this body. Have real gratitude that raw is helping you progress. If you need anything, I am here for you.
    You can PM here. Take care! :)

    P.S. I am jealous, my husband doe not tell me that I am beautiful- he thinks I should know this for myself. Yes and no, it is still nice to know he see's me as beautiful. Lucky girl you are.
