Hello,lovely people!:) This is the first forum that I've ever joined - and first thing that I'm posting on the net, so I do feel a bit nervous and shy!
My name is Elina and I am so happy to be here! It's been a month on raw foods,and wow,what an amazing change it has been!
I've began to love myself - and my life again, after a really,really hard and difficult time.
I discovered raw foods 2 years ago,a year after becomming vegetarian(and later,vegan). It caught my attention because it was a completely different way of living - a different philosophy. It was something that connected with my true self -it awakened my spirituality and,just after a couple days on raw I felt so full of love,happiness and excitement for life!
However, after half a year,due to too many stressful things that were happening in my life at the time,I decided to go back to veganism. From that point,lots of bad things started to happen to me.
I've always had a hard time setting my health - and my wellbeing as my priority. I'm a caring and nurturing soul,so I'm always helping those who are in need - and completely neglecting myself,my body,my soul and my needs. I was trying hard to hold onto hope,until my health got worse and gradually I found myself sinking in depression.
I was just sick and tired of being sick and tired.
So I told myself,this has to stop. I have my dreams, I have hope and I have to take better care of myself!
Going on raw really brought my life back. I still have got plenty of things to improve - but overall,I'm beginning to feel happy and grateful for the life that I have!
I'm really looking forward to meeting new people here and sharing my journey with you all! :)
Sending you love,
Elina

Mwah! You are SO worth taking care of! It took so long for me to be able to see that for myself.... And I'm loving life more for it! Taking care of yourself is not a selfish act. Keep it up!
