I am from southern Indiana..and am trying to be patient about moving somewhere else. I am totally new to this..although I have been vegetarian/vegan on/off for three years now. I actually had never even heard of it until last week when Carol Alt was on t.v. talking about it. I had some extra time and just did a search on the internet. Who knew there was this whole great and supportive community out there?
I am working on my first week at this..with some ups and downs but it is going okay. I have "fallen off the wagon" once..but I am not going to let that get me down.
I have a dog and two cats...all my kids. My partner and I have been together three years this July. I am starting college this fall and having my 30th birthday.
The 30th thing..made my take a long look at myself. I decided after the years of abuse I have put my body through..(yo-yo diets, bulimia, overeating) that I need to celebrate just being here and not dreading the big 30.
I want to look young and feel young. I want to be healthy for the first time in my life. I am so grateful to be a part of such a GREAT community..and I look forward to sharing the journey with you.
Lots of Love, Andrea

Welcome!
Hmmm...your name seems familiar. Have we met? ;)
Seriously, welcome to the single best online raw community there is! (Okay, I'm biased, so sue me!
) May you get exactly the support and encouragement you need from your every moment reading and posting here.
You've already done two very important things as I see all of this. 1) Deciding to be healthy and 2) Choosing this raw site to encourage, support and help you as you get better and better every day from now on.
Glad to have you with us,
Dot
