New to Group

[Guest guest]

Hi! My name is Rhonda and I'm in the foothills of Northern

California. I have just joined your group. My Mother has

interested me in raw/living foods. I am morbidly obese, and was in

the process of getting insurance approval for gastric bypass

surgery. I don't feel I can go through with it, and let the doctors

reroute my insides. I have tried so many " diets " , but either can't

lose, or feel so miserable that I gain the weight back and more!

 

After spending a weekend with my mom, and picking up a second hand

Norwalk Juicer, I decided to try Dr. Walker's juicing program

instead. I have several of his books. I learned to make a few

juices. I decided to include a lot of raw vegees/fruit as well.

 

Unfortunately, my Mom lives to far away, and I lasted less than 2

days both times I tried. I feel like I need support to make this

lifestyle change, so I searched for an online group for that support.

I know I don't want to have weight loss surgery, but with my

health/back problems, I need to get the weight down. This is my

last chance to lose the weight without surgery. More importantly,

to regain my health and energy. I don't expect miracles; I know I

will need patience, endurance, and the ability to forgive myself

for " slips " and get right back to " the program " .

 

I welcome advise/recommendations on how to get started. And I would

LOVE to hear from some who have had success battling obesity with

raw foods.

 

Rhonda
