Hi! Last year I was on my way to being mostly raw. I ate about 85% raw and I felt amazing! I was exercising and doing really well. I've been under a great deal of stress since starting a huge non-profit organization and gradually I've fallen off the wagon. It's not terrible but I've put on about ten pounds and I'm not working out. I'm not even keeping sugar and processed foods away from my body. I need help! I want to start TODAY being on the right path! Please, can someone or a few people hold me accountable? I need the accountability desperately! You can send me messages every day just to get me over that 40 day hump! I think after that, I'd be okay! I believe I became stressed out because the sprouting and soaking and juicing and dehydrating became too much for me. At this point, raw fruits and veggies and a handful of nuts will be sufficient. It would have to be better than what I'm doing now! I don't have to do all the fancy things that often goes along with raw foodism!! I just need some motivation! I'd realllllly appreciate it!

One suggestion is to start a Raw Diary on the raw diary forum and a bunch of us can check in and post encouragement and make suggestions. My raw diary sure has helped me.

Good luck!!

Great idea! Thank you!

I know what you mean when you say you need support I'm new to the raw life style and can't seem to get any support. My mother is doing the raw diet with me but she dosen't seem comitted this is why she has difficulty with diets but I prepare the food so I want to get as close to at the very least 75%. So stick in there and I'll stick in there to.

I hope we see you both on the Raw Diary forum at [www.rawfoodsupport.com]!

Hi Mandy and all!
I would love to connect and create a raw food potluck. I am just coming out of a stressful period where I fell off the raw wagon. I want to return to 100% raw...as I felt absolutely amazing when I ate this way. Anyone interested in meeting in person?
blessings to all...
Rainbow

Hi

Kind regards,
Sage

Hi Rainbow and All,

I also fell off the 100% raw bandwagon and want to get back on. I'm doing okay, with almost all raw at home. The problem is that I travel a lot for work and its challenging enough to go all raw on the road without all the airline restrictions as well.

I'm interested in meeting for potlucks too - does anyone live in New Mexico?

Best wishes,
Tandi
