Eating Raw

Over the course of five years or so, I have watched myself go from a very active and thin person, to what I am now. Basically the antithesis. Being this way has had such a negative affect on my life, that one would think I could just "get over it already" and stop making bad food choices. After the past year of taking meds and gaining another 15 pounds or so, I've slowly begun transitioning to healthier choices. I'm a firm believer that I had to reach a rock bottom and get thoroughly sick of myself before committing to a life change. Almost unconsciously, I phased out all soda. Ice cream turned to sherbert, to small amount of sherbert in smoothies, to just fresh fruit. My sugar cravings have subsided. I have been quietly researching the benefits of a raw food diet. I read the pictured book in one night. Somewhat deterred by some of the menu options and use of enemas, I'm going to make simple changes. My goal is to get up to an 80% raw food diet permanently. Since I've been eating so much fruit lately, I noticed that my complexion has changed and dark circles have lightened tremendously. I will chart my progress here.
