Thank you guys, I really appreciate it.
Eating soley Raw Foods isnt easy, and initally, when I started, I wasnt even THINKING about weight loss, I was thinking about the fact that I had lupus, and that after visiting a doctor who used a more holisitic approach, and hearing all the great things a diet like this can do for people with certian types of disorders, and cancers.
Fanny - I totally agree with you about cooking foods, Raw isnt going to be forever for me, I have promised my doctor 3 months to determine how this diet will affect my blood work. Hes promised me that I can expect a complete turn around, and that hes had patients who have been affected by lupus for years, after 3 months, their affliction just 'disapears'. I feel like it could be a long shot, but you know, I'm going to try it.
I'm sitting here drinking my red juice (beets, carrots, cucumber and raddish) happy as a lark. I could care less what those girls say, even after the email I recieved last night saying they all got together, talked about my 'eating disorder', and cannot continue to support my actions, so they are cutting off our friendship until my diet returns to normal.
Whats normal? Greasy french fries, burgers the size of your head, ordering 4 pizzas for a group of 4 women? Is that normal? No, I think its them who have the eating disorders. I'm happy that I finally have gotten my issues under control, and can control what I am putting into my mouth, and dont have to gorge myself until my hands tingle and I have to take a midday nap.
pfft, normal.
