Hello to anyone who will read my blog here. I am new to raw food talk. I just found it today and decided to start a blog here about my raw vegan journey. In the year 2001 I was introduced to the raw vegan lifestyle when I went to a raw and vegan potluck hosted by a woman who worked at a health food store that I too worked at.
I met a woman there that introduced me to the raw vegan lifestyle. She told me of all the health benefits and how being a raw vegan is the ultimate step in caring for the environment.
I went home that night feeling like I discovered the truth I had been searching for for years.
I ate only apples for about a month. And lost a lot of weight and felt happier.
Friends and family became very concerned so I bowed down to their requests. But to my dismay I became extremely sick when I resumed eating in a destructive manner.
I realized that I am an emotional eater and that I need to channel my emotions through more creative means. I am an artist so lately I have been creating a lot to cleanse myself of negative thought patterns developed from an abusive childhood.
I damaged my esophagus about 4yrs ago and juicing and eating a fruitarian diet seems to be the most effective way for me.
Today I am starting a juice fast with watermelon juice. I suspect that I will gain more clarity.
I will post more when I have time
Love to you and yours,
Trina

    Welcome! That's great that you decided to give raw another shot. It's hard when friends/family don't understand your eating choices. I struggle with the same thing. Hang in there though - it's your body so you are the only person who gets to choose what you put in it!
