Where are you Raw?
What I mean is, where are you located...in what part of the world?
You see, I have all of these self limiting things floating about in my head. All the reasons why it's nearly impossible for me to go raw. One being that I don't have much to choose from in this small town in NC that I live in.
Another limiting thought is that I don't have a whole lot of extra money to spend on organic veggies and fruits.
I know that I am wrong - and I just need to be disciplined enough to do it. I thought that by hearing others struggles (but successes) could help me find the courage to do what I know is best for me.
Thanks in advance :)

Where about in Jersey Charles? My husband and I might be moving to Cape May in about 1 year. Is there a good raw scene there?

I don't want my destiny to be bread and jam...more like....cucumbers and even durian!! Thanks for your words - and you are right. Maybe subconsciously I am telling myself it will be too hard and I am afraid so I make excuses. With that thought in mind...I will work to change that thought pattern.

I don't usually agree with the way DR puts things but I really feel this sentence: "when we want something in life, we find a way. when we dont, we find excuses.."
Very true.

Hi Rebecca,
I'm in a remote part of northern NY, near Canada actually.....near Lake Placid. I'm not 100% raw, but I consider myself hi-raw and in the summer, usually much closer to 100%
You may consider simply making it a goal to eat as much raw food as often as possible. This way, you'll benefit and remove the stress of having to be "all or nothing". The more raw the better... You can't talk yourself out of this approach as easily as you can find reasons to not be 100% raw because conditions aren't "ideal".
Keep sneaking in more and more raw food until it becomes more of a habit than a must. Remind yourself that each meal is a choice and each choice will impact your health. What you eat today becomes tomorrows cells! Reprogram your mind to understand food is more than taste and texture; it's fuel to burn and build....remind yourself continuously. But, don't scold yourself or feel too terrible when you slip up or simply can't eat as ideally as you plan to. This is a process and you need to be kind to yourself while continuing to take the "baby steps" toward the goal. Be patient and enjoy your journey....

LA, CA, babies! I have it lucky. I get the farmer's market on Hollywood/Vine every Sunday and I'm right between Euphoria is Rawvolution, a few different Trader Joes, 2 different Whole Foods, and Erewhon. And even the Ralph's has vanilla sapotes if I'm in need of exotic fruit after hours.

I'm in Seattle, WA where everyone has heard of a raw vegan diet and almost every grocery store has raw items. I feel like there are lots of raw vegans in this city and I love it.

True! I used to live in Seattle. For 13 years! Shopping was so easy when I was vegetarian there, let alone vegan for 2 years. Even at regular grocery stores, there are at least a few aisles for organic products and not just produce. It's like a mini Whole Foods in each store. And it's 24/7.

YES Svelte! I love that about my city. Why ever would you leave such a place?? I am in love with going to the grocery store. I don't plan ahead on purpose so that I can go every day. Plus, Seattle has Pike Place and small farmers markets everyday. I feel it was a breakthrough when they started carrying Thai coconuts at like every Safeway. Very veg/raw friendly place.
