    Unhappy Sick and Tired of being sick and tired...

    I know when life knocks you down the best thing to do is to pick yourself back up...some smart person said that. What they didn't say was that the picking yourself up process is soooooo hard! I don't know what happened to myself...all my work at staying raw just came undone these past months and i feel terrible. Every time I look at myself i want to cry. i am always tired and im getting sick more often, my skin is a wreak...my body is screaming at me to fix it. Then i keep thinking of how tight money is how produce prices are skyrocketing and i'm ready to cry all over again. A few months ago i decided that i was 15 years old and i deserved to give myself the best i could. Raw feels right...i know im not mistaken....but ive fallen and i just need a little help to get back on my feet again...

    You can do it and this is the best place to be! I have been raw for about 3 months--but did fall off a couple of times. I'm back on track --want to be healthy! You can do this!!!

    I know exactly how you feel, the same thing has been happend to me over the last 2 months. I know it is soo hard to eat raw when you are living with people who aren't eating raw and tight budgets don't help either. I don't have any amazing advice to offer... but what I am doing for myself is setting a new goal every week (this week is try and eat 50-60% raw). Just remember though, stress is worse for you then eating cooked food! I know that sounds odd but its true. Hopefully this helps you a bit and remember you aren't going through this alone!

    Nia, you are 15 years old. You are so fortunate to have this knowledge and this forum at such an early age. Remember that you are only one meal away from being back to raw. Go easy on yourself as you learn and grow and add more raw tools to your raw tool box. You can do it!
