Hi everybody. I am eating more raw foods in an attempt to solve these earthly symptoms (warning: graphic!):

- genital herpes
- hemorrhoids
- acne
- lose 10-15 lbs

I live in northern california and feel really committed. After I gave birth to my daughter a year ago, I've had regular hemorrhoid flareups that are super uncomfortable at the least, extremely painful at the most. I'm trying to clean out my colon and keep my movements more regular and soft. Sorry if this is grossing you out. My boyfriend and I say it like it is ;o)

Right now I'm 5'7" about 135lbs, not bad, but still carrying the "pooch" from having my daughter a year ago.

I just checked out the Annie Phyo book from the library (Ani's Raw Kitchen). I LOVE IT!!!! So many simple, fun, tasty recipes. Today I've had the mango lassi, the vanilla coconut shake, the baja cheezy taco recipe (mmmmmmm).

If anyone has any advice or just wanna say hi or gimme some inspiration, step up!

xoxo
