Hi, new here, raw since June 2004

[Idrial]

I'm Idrial, 42, raw since last June. I am doing really well, have my good days and bad days but overall there's definite improvement in my life.
My rosacea has cleared so much it's amazing! My fibromyalgia is all but gone, my hypoglycemia is so much better..the only thing I am disappointed with is I've GAINED weight and I needed to lose a lot to start with.
Anyway, wanted to introduce myself and hopefully get to know you all!

Welcome! Glad to hear that your health issues are fading fast.

In terms of the weight gain, I won't go into what it is you eat, since I am sure you are in control of that. Instead, I will suggest, that perhaps the reason you gained, was that your body needed the extra in order to heal itself. And now that you are becoming a new, your weight too will shed...Weight is a funny thing. It is really hard to judge by the number on the scale.

For instance, one could weigh a ton, yet they have very little body fat...(like a body builder.) Or, they could be very light, and have lots of fat and no muscle...Weight is deceiving.

Continue your journey, perhaps add in a walking regime, perhaps hire a nutritional consultant for a session, or do a consult with someone like Alissa, and get a clear idea if it is food that is causing the weight, or something else in your life...It will all come together...think of how far you have come!

Warm greetings!

Cassy.:):)
