I also gained 6 pounds from my before weight 155 (I had lost 10) so I guess that means going back to cooked food made me gain 16? sucks, plus I was too tired to exercise with all the crap I was eating. Finally I got things sorted out. I lost 3 :) Yay! Were you affected by hurricane Ike?

At 10:08pm on August 1, 2008, Tawni said…: Cool, thanks for the site! I will check it out....I know there is a meetup in Austin as well.Yes, its really cool knowing there are other raw foodies here in good 'ole Texas! I will have to check out Yoga Groove in Austin...been to Yoga Yoga, which is really nice. You have a very beautiful weekend yourself!

Thanks for the wonderful comment and yes, it does feel great to know that there are those who can relate:DDD

At 7:24pm on July 5, 2008, Deirdre said…: ooh, thanks for checking it out. I'm working on the courage thing -- one of these days I might even talk about my OCD on the blog (which, incidentally, has basically been cured since I went raw!)...

At 7:02pm on July 5, 2008, Deirdre said…: Thanks for the input re. careers. Yes, especially since you work for a school district, I'm sure it's an issue -- one always hears of teachers getting fired for their own personal activities and beliefs -- yikes! I've been putting a lot more of myself out there on my personal blog (www.spiritualdilettante.blogspot.com), under my full name, and it feels risky, but at this point in my life, I'm tired of playing it safe all the time...
