    Default The "Dangers" of Being Raw for One Year LOL...Hee hee! :)

    In December, it will be my one year anniversary of beginning this raw path :)

    I've noticed many improvements, but this one is pretty funny...I'm not super appearance conscious, but more and more, I'm becoming that way.

    So...being raw has necessitated new clothing...because...

    The other day I was cleaning house and when I stood up from my cleaning, my underwear fell down :) Hee hee! I had weeded out all of my size 6's...or so I had thought. Size 5 now :) Wonder though if they make size 4 in undies :) Hee hee!

    At the bookstore the other day, I had ultra low rise jeans of mine on and when I bent down, I almost lost them. They are a size 4 and I've owned them for 3 years at least, but now, they are super loose on me!

    The worst though is reaching up in a grocery store to get something and then, realizing, you came out of your bra! Time to go shopping...again!!!!!

    And, to me the wildest thing is trying on clothes that I thought I needed a medium in and really needing an extra small...Or trying on the small and it's too big and the store doesn't carry extra small's!!!!

    Also, lately, I wonder did my feet lose weight...I am used to wearing a size 7 in women's shoes. Well, today, I was trying on shoes and found I needed a 6 and a half in some ballet flats...Maybe it was just the style, but I haven't worn a 6 and half since 8th grade! LOL

    Wild stuff!!!!!!!!

    Be careful when you go out in public ;) Make sure you're strapped in! LOL

    Enjoy your raw 'results' :) If I can do this, so can you ;)

    Love to all!

    Hugzzz, L

    That's pretty funny Angel, and congratulations!

    I know a woman who was so petite she would buy (hip) children's clothes. That may have to be an option for you!

    Default Thanks LittleAngel,

    It's great to see the positive side of life. Looking good and losing that old weight that has been around for a long time feels so good.
    The other week i put my hand on my bottom and it has gotten so small i had to run and look in the mirror to see where it went :)
    It was like an old friend that wouldn't leave but now it's gone and i really don't miss it :) :)
    Now for the thighs.
