Good job girl. Keep it up. What state are you in?

Please do not stop doing these videos. I just started watching this morning and they are so inspiring. The transitioning is hard because my husband and kids are not at all on board. I know that I can do this! You look gorgeous.

@Nosaltypeanut: Not an easy task, but it can be done. Ka Sundance sells an eBook of kids' recipes that you may find helpful in the transition. As far as hubby goes, sit next to him when you're watching YouTube vids at night...that's what Steve did with me...he knows it needs to be my choice because I'm stubborn. Slowly, by setting the example for me and gently educating me via his videos and conversations we'd have, I came around, and now I am eating more raw than he is! It can be done. xo

@luis04191: You are right about the emotional roller-coaster! I was addicted to food I have broken that addiction. What I am finding now is that I no longer use food to placate myself and numb my emotions, I am having to deal with some not-so-nice feelings that I previously dealt with by NOT dealing with them and eating them away. I have support in this and feel that now is the time! Thanks for your positive comments! Peace :)

YAY girl! You look SO amazing! :)

[TheRawMama]

@aRawLifestyle: Thank you! I FEEL amazing! :) I am SO happy and have so much more energy now! I used to need to take a nap every afternoon. Not anymore. Being overweight, I was usually too tired to play with my kids, but now, I enjoy it! :) It's amazing how much my life has improved in all areas because of my raw lifestyle. I love it!

Woohoo!! Congratulations on your loss and getting off of your blood pressure medication. Thank you for sharing your wonderful testimony. Much continued success!!

[TheRawMama]

@sistahonamission : Thank you SO much! I have really struggled with my weight over the years, and was even considering paying out-of-pocket to have weight loss surgery! I had a date scheduled and everything! I am so glad I didn't do that now and am feeling better than I ever have in my life. I turn 40 next month, and I intend to be in great health for the next 40 years (and beyond)! All the best to you! :) Peace!
