    Default Seeking Support and perhaps some accountability

    Hello all you raw food lifestylers My Named is Tannim i just turned 30 I'm 400+lbs and 6'1". When I was a kid i had 2 hollow legs and was consistently moving and eating i was diagnosed with severe asthma when i was very young so my diet was mostly veggie/nut/soy based as even a slice of bread(few drinks of milk ect ect) would put me in the hospital in a o2 tent they eventually stopped testing me as i just was showing reactions to everything then the started in with the roids so many different types and strengths and i started to gain weight partly from the steroids but also cause of all the new foods i was able to eat when i hit 18 i would bounce from about 230-280 but i was very active(hiking medieval reenactment ect) and stayed in that range till i had an accident i fell off a 30ft cliff and broke my ankle the 3 months of bed rest spent mostly online and eating pushed me up past the 300lb mark and ever since then I have had pretty bad ankle pain(i think its the weight thats not letting it finish healing right)that has made exercising pretty difficult then i started eating more cause of depression due to getting divorced and so now I'm the size of a house and friggin sick of it I feel like i have no will power to fix it I know that none of that changes the fact that every time i open my mouth and throw in crap "food" its me doing it and I'm the only one who can fix it I tried to do a week long juice fast and ended up cheating like 3 time the last one was the worst i went and got a double quarter pounder with cheese from McFattyies again my own lack of stick-to-it-ness (i was also cooking regular meals for the rest of my family the whole time) what makes the whole mess worse is I know better I have been studying permaculture for the past 8 years but feel like I'm blocking my self every time i make a move in the right direction so I'm glad to have found a community I can reach out too for support

    If you feel to, search Clent Manich and/or Phil McCluskey on RawkinRadio.com. They were both 400 pounds when they began eating raw.
