So I am trying this again today. I have been trying to go raw since April and did so successfully for 2 whole weeks in August until I got stuck in an airport and ate a shrimp roll at Pappadeaux. I am thinking that the msg, and the shrimp itself put my system into a frenzy. I am ready to lose weight and ready to be healthy. I am actually going to post my weight which I have never done before in my own personal journals. There is nothing like putting yourself completely out there, eh? I actually feel like a beached whale. I ache when I wake up in the morning....hello...I am only 34 years old. This is not normal. I want to be a picture of health, not that of some circus act.

341.5 pounds. 89 pounds heavier from when I got pregnant with my son 6 years ago. 20 pounds heavier from when I got pregnant with my daughter 1 year 9 months ago. At least I am 20 pounds lighter from 1 year ago after I had her!

Being under 300 is my goal. Let's see how fast I can do it being 100% raw!! Game on!

    You are brave to post your weight. I still haven't, I've only hinted at it. Many others have come from where you are and acheived miraculous weight loss and good health. You can do it, too. Don't think of yourself badly. Imagine yourself as you wish to be and you will be. Welcome to RFT.

    Good for you,
    I am starting out eating raw for the first time and it is so nice to know that I am not alone.

    Wow. Life got a hold of me again and I have not been back since the first time I blogged. I am so inspired to see that several people gave me support. I have not been able to go completely raw but have been about 80% raw on the days that I have not been 100% raw. Life has been really stressful. I was down on myself feeling like a failure but then realized in the middle of the night that I have just been facing challenges. I have not failed because I am still trying. Being raw is always on my mind. I am making the commitment to log on at least once a day. While I may not be able to make it 100% raw, I am 100% raw to the community. I will get there. I think the hardest thing is time and preparation. I travel every week with my job. It is super easy to be raw when I travel because I just go to whole foods and stock up on fruits and veggies and nuts. Home is the hardest. My husband will not eat raw and thinks it is silly. I at least cook vegan for him and he doesnt complain but my son is pretty much like him. My 1 year old daughter is mostly raw as well but it is so hard to make 2 different meals. Especially now that it is cold, piping hot sounds so good.

    Anyways. For breakfast I had an avocado and a persimmon. The avocado was great but the persimmon left a funny texture in my mouth. Is this normal?

    Thanks for all your kind words!!!
