I very much want to become involved in the raw food community in Houston, but I have not been able to find it. Even a monthly raw food potluck would be nice. I did my first fast in 1996 and have been involved with healing with foods ever since. I did a 10 day detox at Dr. Cousens health retreat in August 2007 with my husband, hoping he would become more involved, but it is hard to change people. He still cooks steaks, etc. But, for some reason, (probably the two kids I had in the past few years, and not even being able to fit into my "fat" jeans), I finally am just eating mostly raw. I used to fail at it all the time, because I thought I always had to make all these recipes, like nut milks, dehydrated foods, etc. And time is a major issue. But, now, I'm just mostly eating fruits and vegetables, nuts and seeds. I'm already feeling better and I know the weight will finally come off. I am excited, and finally, after years of reading this website, have finally joined TODAY!! Yeah. I am not sure why it feels like a big step. But, here I am, and I am tired of having playdates with moms who think gatorade is a health drink and feed my kids foods with artificial colors, etc. So, anyone who knows anything about getting connected in Houston, I would much appreciate the feedback.
Thanks!
Barbara
