Hello everyone

[jorjeni]

Hello,

My name is Jennifer and I was raw for 3 months a few years ago. My goal this year is to get to 100% raw. Rawkinlocs I didn't know your name on here when I reg. so I am sorry I didn't get to give you another refurral.

:)


I guess I should mention how I learned about he raw lifestyle. I saw this lady on Oprah Karyn and she said she was raw so I looker her up she is here in Chicago and has a place called Kayrn's corner. Which I went to last month and her Deep dish Raw Pizza is better than a cooked pizza. I have a lot of medical problems and when I found Shazzies site and read one of the ladies post about how being Raw cured her of the same illnesses I am having. Reading her story was like reading mine. So I gave it a try but me medical problems got the best of me and after 3 months of raw my mother had to come and help me out since she didn't understand and I was at her mercy basicly I had to eat what she gave me and I got off track.

So here I am determine to do this. I am at the point in my life that I can't stand being sick another day. I need to lose about 70 lbs. I am only 4'10" 1/2 so being 70lbs overweight is killing my body not to mention the fact that I eat mostly meat hardly any veggies or fruit. So I am gonna need a lot of help and support and yelling at me LOL!!!!

Hi Jennifer!

Welcome!!! I am a newbie here too..and was raw a couple summers ago and am going back to 100% after bouncing back and forth. I have weight that i want to lose..and I just like the way I look and feel when I am Raw.


I live in the far Northwest Suburbs and go to school in Chicago. I absolutely adore Karyn's. I come into the city on Sundays to sing..and am probably going to go to the Sun. Buffet in the next couple of weeks. I have never done that..I have just eaten off the regular menu. I love the Basil Ravioli and that yummy banana pudding... Oh..who am I fooling//I loved
everything

Good Luck with everything....maybe I will see you at Karyn's sometime ;)

Welcome! Like yourself, raw has helped me tremendously with health issues. It is the core of my cleansing lifestyle.

You mentioned Shazzie's website, she is very inspiring isn't she! It was her site that I first read when I was researching raw...I had been looking into a detox diet, and followed a link off living-foods.com...The rest is history! (That was spring 2003)

You have come to the right place for support! I love this site, because of the journals it is similar to Shazzie's site. We are all on a journey, and it helps to know you are not alone. Feel free to visit my journal. We will be there for 'ya!

Cassy. :) :) :)
