breastfeeding mom going raw

always been a fan of raw although never lived the lifestyle.i have chronic fatigue. i have a young son. i am so sick of feeling like my body is holding onto all these toxins. i know it is-and my son must be getting them through my milk. and i cannot lose these last 15 pregnancy pounds i feel and look my husband is a meat eater and has no desire to change that. he feels healthiest that way. i feel poisoned. however when i eat no meat i find myself very sick and after 3 months or so i go back to eating meat since i need to be functional. NOT EASY. having always believed and supported the raw way may be healthiest way, i really want to give it a try. and i am...slowly. i really want

i want and need the best health possible for myself and my son and husband.
i usually eat one raw meal a day and some raw nuts and fruit as snacks. so from now on i will make that the bare minimum and shoot for much more. trying to phase out the nasty meat i eat,replace it with veggies and such.the more raw the better.phase out the non raw with raw...get my son involved in the process,although i doubt my husband will join in. that's ok. we all have our own idea of health maybe he will want to share in this somehow.as always i sneak raw into his diet with salads and fruit and such. i love my yogurt though.is there raw yogurt???

fruit fruit fruit veggis veggie veggie fruit all raw except for salad dressing. my jaw hutrts from chewing so much crunch today. but it's my birthday and i'm going to treat myself to a piece of raw cheesecake at People's. just wish it doesn't cost.i'm in this weird constant snack mode. not so good for the weight loss or my wallet.it's crazy how cooked food can cost so much more than raw
well,happy bday to me.i feel like i'm 65 today, not 25

EEEEWWWW!!!! it's "safe" to eat cloned animals???? they don't even live as long as normal animals and they age much much faster. which kind of makes it abuse just to produce them. i am in a kind of panic about this whole thing. i am on my way to veg and RAW but it seems i am going to transition much faster now. a blessing yes, but still not easy. not jusdt meat but dairy. dairy was going to be the last for me to give up. too soon. too soon. but my son drinks milk everyday and i do not want him drinking anything related to the word clone. come to think of it though i have never been much for animals being farned herded kept in unnatural ways in the first place. which is why iwant rid of my unhealthy ways.

i was doing really well. the more raw the better. well i ate mostly raw today but i also went to in-n-out burger. feel like crap now. yuck.why did i do that??? oh yeah because there was no way we were going to two seperate places just 'cause i didn't bring enough food for my husband. he ate all the good food i had packed for the day then still hungry ...now i know to pack a whole raw supermarket and i will not need to get fast food. and to add insult to injury i was hungry all day after eating that crap my body did not even need or want. oh well tomorrow is another day.

back on track today . also,have lost 3.5 pounds and i am excited about going to see a nutritionist soon. on other news here is how i feel. my body feels much cleaner i am able to think a little more clearly. however i got these really bad headaches that don't go away since i was ran over not to mention i am just plain depressed. depression is something in my life that has never gone away but has hidden for a while many times. i am amazed at how i can laugh all day and truly be laughing and smiling but still be depressed. how is it possible to feel joy, relief,etc and still be depressed??? i don't know but that's the postiion i'm in.

i feel like crap but still much better. but to be honest,OUCH OUCH OUCH!!! my whole body aches SOOOOOOOOOOOO TIRED!!!
i do feel better in my soul though. majority of my food is raw. the animal products i do ingest are being replaced by half raw and half tofu or other concoctions. the cooked or processed concoctions will then be replaced with raw.

It sounds like you are doing really well. What you said about depression is so true. I think when i'm depressed i try to hide itbut laughing and smiling a little too much. I don't know if that makes any sense. I don't think there is raw yogurt but try making nut milks etc.

Hey starfruit i know what you mean about feeling depressed...i am too ashamed of it to tell people so i try to cover it up with smiling and laughing a lot or more of a fake happiness..but sometimes that is why i just want to be by myself and not have to put onthis act..it seems to be getting better since going raw though....i guess i feel like i will never be happy until my body is how i want it to be you know?? anyways i saw your comment and wanted to tell you you aren't alone!!
love ya
