Im a new member..I did raw , a form of it, back in 1975/1978...followeing mostly

info from Prevention Mag and Nancy Roberts ,yoga book..I dont no if anyone

remembers her or not but I saw her on Phil Donahue show and bought her book..it

was so informational..on other things besides the yoga excersises..now dont I

wish id stuck to that now?..when I started working in the school cafteria when

my kids were in school out went the eating plan and back on came the pounds..ive

lost weight over the years and kept it off for 2 to 3 years but always something

stressful has happened in my life or health issues/injurys and the pounds have

come back much to happily...now that im 56yrs old and my husband is 66yrs and

had a stroke a month ago..hes dibetic 2 wheich means he can control this with

different eating..he needs to loose 100pds which he put on when he stopped

smoking 4 yrs ago..sadly it was not soon enouhg and he has 40% lung damage but

were dealing with things so far so good..our only

daughter lives in NC with her husband and son,so its just me to take care of

things.my problem has always been..not eating enough when I do diet..becoming

bulmic at one point in my life for 5 to 6 years..but when im doing my eating

plan I become obsessed with it..its all or nothing..I now no I have OCD and take

a mild anxiety medication for this..and im hoping that I can combine steamed

vegies for some vegies dont break down vit..wise being raw like potatoes ...and

raw with no meat..since my husband has to take a class on controling his newly

dignosed health problem which he refuses to admit..all he says to me is..well y

ou need to loose weight too..your fat too..im not 100pds overweight..im

35lbs..and have high colestral...so with the new info out about raw..this is my

choice..for me..he has cooked since hes been retired 3yrs ago..and so he can

cook for his new way of eating..I dont want to be blamed because hes not loosing

weight..his Dr.s seem to think its my choices thats makin

g him overweight..im not going to be the scapegoat for his eating choices..so

this is what ive chosen for myself..as of Sunday so this week has been a lot of

water loss for me...he made a pie last night noing somethings up on my team...im

glad we have toy dogs..they enjoyed it......I live in Indiana..I do lots of

art things...and have parrots...so me and the parrots can eat just about the

same way now...BonitaW
