For the past 6 years, I've been living the Standard American Diet- commonly known among ya'll healthy people as the S.A.D. After having moved to middle America, marrying a S.A.M (Standard American Man... as far as nutrition is concerned, that is), and bringing four children into this world, let me say that I've... well, I've let myself go- there's no way to sugar-coat it (in fact, sugar-coating it is what got me into this mess in the first place). I'm fat. I'm sick. I'm tired.

And I'm determined to return to that passionately healthy state that I once was in 6 years ago when my energy soared and I just felt amazing! Raw Food is an old friend of mine and I have to say- I miss her.

Today is day 4 of my gradual movement toward Optimum Health (I'm really starting from scratch here). I'm conducting an experiment, you see, and I would like as much support as I can get. Thanks for reading!

Is the first week of transitioning to raw extremely hard for everybody else? Letting go of sugar and white flour is proving to be a real test. The addictive power of these substances is tremendous. But I'm not giving up so easily. I'm determined to succeed for my kids, my husband, my dad who had a heart attack this last year, my grandmother who died of diabetes, and- of course- myself. I deserve Optimum Health.

Hello Kyralamb. Yes, the sugar & white flour is highly addictive but you can succeed! You have very strong reasons to do so. There's no diabetes in my family, but my dad had 3 heart attacks & the 3rd one killed him at age 53. He ate nearly everything in a fried form, & salad to him was iceberg lettuce, cucumber & tomato. I wish you tons of support & the best of health for you & your family. Let us know if your hubby & kids are trying to make some healthy changes too? It takes time sometimes. Keep reading & learning. Your worth it !!!! Peace P.S.YOU CAN DO IT !!!!!!!!!!
