    Default Hello From Boston

    Hi there -
    I am new to this site. I have been 80% raw for few years and now decided to try 100% raw food diet. Raw works like magic for me, but at the beginning of the summer I started craving desserts and the whole lifestyle i worked so hard to get used to, got ruined.
    I have been straggeling with diets for most of my life. My family is overweight and never care how they look. I do. I care about my weight, health, what i eat, exercise and overall healthy lifestyle. I work out five to six times a week, doing intensive cardio as well as weights (light weight, high reps). I eat healthy 99.9% of the time, but when i eat processed food, i lose control and overeat... Therefore, my goal is to avoid process food and stick to healthy raw diet for live.

    Looking forward to it -
    Balashka

    Welcome from a fellow Bostonian!!

    You'll find all the support you need here - and then some. And as an additional resource, check out the Raw New England Community if you haven't already. http://www.rawnewenglandcommunity.com/ They host potlucks and other cool events regularly.

    Where in Boston are you? We live in Brighton and I work downtown. Glad to have you with us.

    Raw since 1/5/07.
    Many unwanted lbs. gone - guesstimating 45-50.

    It's not my diet. It's my lifestyle.

    Thank all for warm welcome. Glad to be a part of larger community. I live in Swamscott and work in downtown.

    I havent yet checked any communities as i was doing my 70% on my own. Just enjoying healthy lifestyle without realyzing that there are so many people who enjoy it as well. As noted by many, finding a support among family and friends is hard. Usually, they are the ones who encourage me to break away from what they call "obsession". It is hard to explain that I choose to be healthy and care about what i eat, rather than polluting my body with staff that is not good. So, i am glad i came accross this website. It definatelly has a lot of useful links and resourses.

    I am yet to order Alissia's book - looking forward these yummy raw desserts :)
