oh and i also wanted to report that my family does not think i look emaciated or anorexic! the general consensus was that i should gain 5ish pounds, but they said i look fine, just skinny. i'm happy b/c i know they are being 100% honest. and if i look 5ish pounds too thin in Vermont, i probably look totally normal in LA ;-) and the "date" with adam on V-day went ok. he's really swe

Hola chicas!
Soraya, how are things going for you? I'm sorry to hear that you were so depressed, that can definitely be scary. You have a great attitude towards allowing yourself a small "cheat" and not feeling guilty! You need to be chill about that stuff right now while you get through more complicated/important things.

Hi girls! I'm home in VT now. It's so nice to not be racing around! I'll be bored in a day, but by then it'll be time to head back to LA :-)
Becky, welcome back! You definitely have A LOT to be proud of. 13 days raw is more than 99% of the population will ever do, and it's a huge thing for your health. I am coming to believe more & more that a cooked treat once in a while is no big d

Thanks Soraya You have such a way with words, you always know the right thing to say! I appreciate it.
I am such an idiot, I didn't even realize this is PMS week for me. I ALWAYS have the most horrible body image during PMS week and am always super hungry and feeling uncontrolled with my eating. So, I've just got to stick it out for a few more days and then I will feel better again!

Becky, we’ll miss you, but definitely take the time you need for yourself. I hope you feel better!
Amy, I think Becky hit the nail on the head when she said that this is for life- so if that means we need to allow ourselves a bit of cooked food once a week to stay 98% raw in the long run, it’s worth it and totally ok. I admit I feel pretty horrible about myself when I eat cooked, too (se

I’m continuing on a separate post b/c my comments were so long!
So I have an issue…I went out to dinner last night with a friend I hadn’t seen since Thanksgiving, which was around the time I went 100% raw. She remarked that I’d lost a “dramatic” amount of weight since then. She kept referring back to it throughout our dinner and then at the end of the night, I started getting wor

Soraya, thanks for the congrats on my med bills being paid by the state. I was so happy! I’m sorry to hear that you have personal experience with that stuff- it’s no fun. That’s so cute that you have a secret fruit stash! I’m glad we have this journal, too. It definitely makes it easier for my friends b/c I have another place to talk about how amazingly wonderful raw foodism is ;-)

Hola chicas. Another beautiful sunny day here! I am wearing a ¾ sleeve jacket! That means life is good.
Becky, that is so frustrating about doing everything right and not losing weight. I don’t have much advice- it seems like you should be losing, for sure. I think I may have asked you this before, but did you go through a lot of physical detox yet? For me at least, I lost all the we

Thank you both for your insight re: My Adam situation!
Amy, that’s awesome about your ankle! Raw foods are so good at reducing inflammation and promoting healing. I notice that I heal from scars & cuts MUCH faster eating raw. The doctors were also surprised at how quickly my lacerations healed (or at least how far along in the healing process I was when they last saw me) and the bla

Amy, I am so sorry to hear about your ankle! I understand how frustrating that is! I sprained mine during my second season of track in H.S. and was out all season, and it was TORTURE watching my friends run and not being able to. I still sprain it every now & then b/c it's weaker. BUT it sounds like your ankle will heal in a few days! Especially with all the nutrition you're giving your

162. Re: committed to RAW
Soraya, I can completely relate to what you're going through. The emotional detox was the reason I stopped being 100% raw back when I went raw the first time last spring. I felt like I'd been living with blinders on my whole life- in a state of blissful ignorance, if you will. Then, for some reason, going raw ripped the blinders off my eyes and I was forced to pay attention to what was really

Amy: I am 99% sure that your new friend will not have any problem with you being a raw vegan! People don't make friends based on how the other person eats, do they? And it's not going to effect her life. I've found that the (few) people who have a problem w/ me being a raw vegan are the ones who have their own issues and are using my eating habits to make some sort of statement about themselve

Becky, great job sticking to your 100% raw goal at the Shabbat dinner About vinegar, regular vinegar (balsamic, wine vinegars, etc) aren't raw. Apple cider vinegar is apparently the only raw kind (and even then you have to make sure the label says 100% raw). I find it to be a bit stronger & more acidic than other vinegars but I've gotten used to it and now I don't use a
