Hello! (Newbie)

[Guest guest]

Hello! My name is Beth. I am 30 years old, about 40-50lbs overweight (5'5 " and

187lbs). I've been interested in a raw vegan diet for a couple of years now, but

I can't seem to make it more than a couple of days without giving in to

something cooked or processed as my family is not " on board " with me. My

children, however, will eat tons of fruit if I have enough in the house, it's

mainly the days when my military husband is home that things go out the window.

 

I just picked up a couple books from Books A Million to read more ( " Rawsome! " ,

and " The Raw Food Detox Diet " and Carol Alt's " Eating in the Raw " ) and I have

the eBooks from Storm and Jinjee Talifiero from TheGardenDiet.com.

 

I'm serious this time about transitioning. I have really been paying attention

lately to how I feel when I eat cooked or processed foods and it's really hit me

how awful I feel when I do.

 

I am just not certain if I should get started now, or wait until I have

finished healing from some upcoming extractions (I've lost all but six teeth in

my mouth thanks to bad teeth since birth) and/or I get my dentures made (as I

can't eat nuts or seeds right now).

 

Previous to this, I made do with SlimFasts and Campbell's SoupsAtHand, mashed

potatoes or sweet potatoes and oatmeal while I healed. I just don't know what I

can do this time around to make sure that I'm not going to go crazy making my

own stuff. While I want to lose weight, I don't want to starve to do it, you

know? So I worry that just throwing some fruit in a blender isn't going to be

enough for me.

 

Anyway, I thought I'd chime in and say hello!

 

Beth
