Newbie!

[Guest guest]

Hi!

 

I just joined this list yesterday, and while I have not yet journeyed down

the path of eating raw, I am contemplating it very seriously and looked for

a group that was doing it to see how they were feeling and how their health

was in general. I am very obese, am scared of doing the surgery, and am

looking for a solution. I have only been reading about eating raw for a few

days now, all on the web. I found some boot camp site yesterday that I

can't seem to find my way back to, today. I can't really afford the monthly

fee of that, but oh how I wish! Anyway, I read Leah's blog this morning

about her hair falling out, and that has me scared! I am already having a

problem with hair and bald patches, and I do not want to lose anymore hair.

Is there anything I might be able to do to keep from losing hair as I embark

on the raw way of life?

 

 

 

My plan at this point is to ease into the lifestyle and make it February 1st

as my official start date. I want to up my fruit intake and water intake,

say goodbye to my beloved daily coffee rituals and so forth. I think easing

into this may be easier on my system. About 6 months ago, I did do some

fruit fasting, and did not make it very far because I began vomiting and I

detest that beyond belief. I must be so full of toxins! I thought at the

time that I was allergic to something in the green drink, or that I had food

poisoning. To this day, I just can't stand the thought of the green drinks

that have apple juice in them. The combo is abhorrent to me. Anyway, some

of the reading I did yesterday leads me to believe that it was about toxins

and not about food poisoning.

 

 

 

I have to get very serious about this. I am 53, morbidly obese, have lost

my mobility due to painful knees, and live a very limited life in a

wheelchair. I want my life back with a vengeance. I joined this group

yesterday in hopes of helpful tips, support, and a place to begin my journey

into this change of lifestyle and hopefully I will find my health and my

life. From all that I have read so far, I do not expect this road to be

easy, but I do expect good results. It can't be anymore difficult than

living as a virtual shut-in, encased in a cloud of fat, and waiting to die.

 

 

 

Sincerely,

 

Connie
