Guest guest Posted June 30, 2007 Report Share Posted June 30, 2007 Hi everybody, Let's see...I guess, I should first introduce myself, My name is Stephanie...I am 38...I ate raw for over a year 3 years ago and felt vibrant, fit, more spiritually aware and full of boundless energy...almost too much energy. Then I became pregnant....and stayed mainly raw the first 6 months, until I started craving cheese(at least I ate my neighbours raw goat cheese, but still it was cheese..actually I just craved fat and I gave in...). I have been planning on going back to eating this way for 2 years now..but, I have also been chasing/nursing a toddler, and raising/homeschooling my 11 and 17 year old. Now, I just took a good look in the mirror and I think I have aged about 10 years in the past year( I always looked super young before) and I am about 20 pounds overweight. I don't feel that bad, yet, except for a rather depressing sort of stagnation feeling....but, I certainly don't have the energy that I had before. I really want to make this lifestyle change for good this time. I know *how* to do it...I just need to get my mind unbrainwashed again. My husband and children are really easygoing. My teenage daughter ate raw the entire time I did and actually beyond that. My husband has been vegan for years and really wants to become all raw himself, except he likes *gourmet* raw food and I never developed a taste for the richness of that. Is there anybody out there who would like to correspond and sort-of be a cheering/support team with. I know from my own experience that if I can just do it for about 6 weeks, it will then seem strange to eat bread again. I am so looking forward to the clarity again. peace, stephanie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 30, 2007 Report Share Posted June 30, 2007 Hi Stephanie, I have a similar story. I ate raw for awhile, gave in to temptation and then realized that raw was the only way to feel great and be healthy. I just started keeping a blog and try to post fairly easy recipes on it to help others and would be glad to cheer you on.
