I think my husband would go streaking before evening thinking about eating raw. I am not consuming any diary products, but my family still does. I decided that if they are going to continue to drink milk it should at the very least be organic. My husband had a total melt down, and acted like a 5 year old over changing the milk! Which makes being supportive of my choice to go raw completely out of the question. I also love what you said about " you can't unlearn " what you have learned about raw. I can't either. Maybe its so impressed upon me now because of how much better I feel in addition to the knowledge. I do feel like going raw has seperated me from my family (to a degree) but I refuse to be miserable just to blend in! Don't laugh, but I have this " fantasy " of having a friend who also eats raw and we can go to a raw restrautant and enjoy the food and the friendship with out getting all the weird looks I usually get at work or home when people see I am eating another salad or a GAINT bowl of pineapple. I am in the same boat, and will paddle up stream with you.

I'm beginning to think so too... so here I am again. Not that you're all second choice! I've just found that asking people I know to go raw with me is going over like a lead balloon. You would think I was asking them to go streaking with me (sigh). I've only made it five days each time and then there would be some big social thing, but I just kept reading and reading everything I could get my hands on. One thing about raw, you can't 'unlearn' this stuff - it's too late. I know what I know and I know that's a good thing. So I'm ready to give it all I've got, because the SAD is making me feel like HELL. My husband will never go raw and worse yet, he doesn't even want to quit smoking, no desire to whatsoever. So I feel very alone in this and that makes it really tough. Plus I worry that it will create distance between us, but I know I need to do what is best for me. So you can imagine how far I am from Victoria's " Raw Family " scenario. Is anybody out there in the same boat??? ~Sheri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
