I agree with you Deborah about those last few pounds. The only difference is I would loose them and gain them back. Of course everyone would say..."oh you don't need to loose anything etc" but you know how you want your body to look. Aside from that I am so free, things don't set me off as badly...not to say I don't get annoyed, but not nearly as bad. I'm so much more relaxed and happy in general! It has been great!

Relaxed, happy and rockin thos ABs! You go girl!!

(P.S. That is exactly what I meant by battling the same 10 - 15 lbs. I'd lose them, feel awesome, let down my guard and gravitate right back to the original weight and then feel like total crap and get depressed. Then I'd find yet another diet, lose the weight and the cycle would continue. So exhausting!)

to be extremely blunt:
i used to poop three times a day until a doctor messed up my body. then i didn't poop without using a HUGE enema for FIVE YEARS. i got sicker and sicker and all the doctors thought i was nuts, talking about toxemia and telling them i needed to get my intestines working again. argh!
raw foods+blended foods+time= my guts are getting happier

i have a life again.

plus, pretty much all the things that everyone else has said. i wasn't even CLOSE to the SAD before i went raw, but it still made a huge difference.

I mean EAT them. Just wondered, because I heard they affect the mind, and I think I've noticed it.

I find it amusing, I suppose, when people at work pass around illness like it's a joint, and then get confused over why I do not get sick myself. It's been almost 3 years of being raw, and I haven't called out of work. Nor do I plan to.

Furthermore, I like the fact that people can show genuine interest in improving their health, and I like being able to share these aspects. We have a growing community here each day in Jacksonville, FL, and there are 7 raw cafes within 90 minutes of each other. I am looking forward to seeing that number of cafes double within the next few years.

All of this and then some...having my health back...finally understanding the connection between health and food, and the incredibly heightened intuition which is followed by finally following those dreams I've been talking about following for years and truly believing I will arrive within them...
the only drawback is looking around and realizing how brainwashed and dumb (for lack of a better term) so much of the planetary population seems to be now...it's like you discovered the holy grail and nobody believes you! "But I'd rather die than give up my steak!" ...well, you will, slowly and painfully.

Does anyone else comprehend the ability to live forever? I don't feel like my life will end...I feel like I'll be around for planetary peace and immortality realized in our lifetime.

I was thinking about this and quorum sensing that enables bacteria to light up when a critical mass of them come together. I feel like we are on the verge of that and an aspect of collective consciousness. It's amazing.
