This is the number 1 pressing question that people ask me. How much weight have you lost? How much weight have you lost? I am not in this for the weight loss. I'm in this for the healing. I'm not in a hurry! Don't be in a hurry! You're healing.
I have your metabolism too ... I just think get healthy... thesn work on life and weight...
sending you lov and hope yawll get a job soon... success personified..lov and hugs teri
Great advice Bunny! I think 35 pounds is awesome :)
I like what you said about letting your body heal. Think about how long we've beat our bodies up before going raw, years and years! So we can't expect to heal over night, it takes time...let your body heal and forget about weight for now.
What an inspirational video! Love it!!! You are so right. Who knows what other priorities our bodies have while we are busy focusing on the scale. I guess the key is just trusting that your body knows what it is doing and will take care of losing weight when it is good and ready! What a great message to share with everyone, especially the scale watchers! THANK YOU!!!
Wow, I'm so glad that you have approached this topic. I'm a chubby who struggles with food addiction and as much as I would love to be a skinny mini, I have other health issues that need to be my first concern. Yet, weight loss is always on my mind.
When you shared how you were previously poisoning yourself by eating the sad diet, I thought I was going to cry. Why do we do this to ourselves? I'm finding that most people enter into this lifestyle for the health benefits and not for their love of carrots and celery. Thank you for reminding us that eating the raw food diet is about truhealth and loss on the scale is just one of the many visible gifts that comes with our hard work.
Bunny, I can feel that your "mountain top" reflections were possibly a bit emotional. I can understand. I am in much the same situation as you are. Financially, size, age and ect. It is nice to have someone to relate with that is in the same boat so to speak! I love the raw (no makup?) look! I see your son in you, or is it vica versa? For some reason you came accross so simply sweet today! Anyway, you are my pal! Thanks for being there!
Bunny....truly inspirational video! PLEEEEEEEZE....go back and read the first page of your maiden Raw Fu magazine & see what you have lost: MAJOR health probs & discomfort!!! I'm not here to lose a certain amount of weight, I'm not here to be totally "raw", I'm not here to be any kind of guru or example to anyone. I'm here because my body knew that raw food was the ONLY way to heal! If we all looked like supermodels, but felt like crap and were sick, would the weight be an issue?
Health = wealth...takes time, patience and love (loving ourselves!)
Thanks for the honest look at this journey and the guts to put everything on the line to get truly healthy =)
You are in my prayers always....
XOXOXO

Well said, bunny! I know exactly what you mean. If i hadn't lost all the weight I did, I would still be a raw foodist because it gives me so much energy and mental clarity. It feels great to be switched on!
35 pounds is a great achievement. I would be so proud of that result.
Come ot think of it, Philip Macluskey and Angela Stokes were very young when they lost all that weight and they went 100% raw overnight which is actually not recommended. I mean, even Angela said so herself. I think they must've been under such huge mental duress for that period of time, so despite my admiration for their success, I still think slow and steady is the way to go.... the more "human" approach :)
Bunny, thank you for the wonderful words of wisdom. You are absolutely right - this journey is not about weight loss but about healing. I've only been on this journey for 3 days but at the times when I feel like throwing in the towel and having cooked food, I remember that I'm healing and this is a process that is going to take time.
And 35 pounds in one year is amazing in my eyes :). I'm a slow loser myself - the last time I lost any amount of weight it was 30 pounds in a year.
Congratulations Bunny!! You lost 35 1 pound boxes of butter. That is huge!!! I have to have visuals for myself. Your skin is gorgeous. I remember the blemishes you had a short while ago and they are gone. What an inspiring word for us and for yourself. We only have to look within to find the answers. Thanks for bringing that to my remembrance. I love you lots! Anita
