Hello Nicole, I totally feel where you are coming from. I have struggled with an eating disorder, where dieting was my world, for a long time and although it subsided when I went from SAD to vegan it came back because it then turned into me obsessin…
I kind of feel the same way. Yet, I am being strong on my own this time. For me it's hard to keep up with posting because I have two toddlers who keep me busy. Take care and keep at it!
I'm so excited because I went from day 1 167 to today 159!!!!!! 8lbs!!!! That's almost a lb a day. I have tried to go raw in the past but for whatever reason it wouldn't stick. This time I am just doing it. I have been 99% raw. The 1% are nibbles of…
HI, I don't see where "it went all to hell" as you put it. You still ate all raw which is great. Sounds like you are talking about quantity. It' a work in progress dont get down on the positive. Thanks for sharing about your disorder. It is a big pr…

Mushrooms are one of the raw "meats" for me. I was given some mushrooms(crimini, I think) and I almost threw them out when I decided to cut them up and ad sea salt and other seasonings and put them on some tomatoes and topped them with freh cut basi…
It's so sa when loved ones say hurtful things. It sometimes seem true we hurt the ones we love most, but it doesn't have to be that way. I hope the two of you can have another talk and perhaps set some boundaries of what is and is NOT ok to say duri…

I have been flirting with raw for the last 6 months and I think I am ready to give a real try. I do well with challenges and I like the support. I've also been learning the hard way that when you live a lifestyle that deviates from the "norm" you can become a target for judgement and harsh criticism so it is necessary to surround ourselves with like-minded folks who send messages of love and courage!
Yeah looking forward to the next challenge. I came in on this one late but figured 90 days was just as good. You know, I dont think I joined many groups. I just sort of look through the recent posts, photos or videos and throw in my 2 cents when the mood hits. LOL Have fun!
thanks for the compliment. I have one son though. I have to say my hardest time of the day to want to eat cooked food is at night also. 15 days until the next one starts, I will have to think about that. Do you only feed your kids vegan also? If so, thats really great. I have a friend I work with who has a 2 year old. Really funny but this little girl I swear is vegan, she loves tofu, beans and lentils and spits out any kind of meat - chicken, turkey, etc.
Hi there! I found your post on being criticized for depriving your children of dairy and vaccines. Wow! So happy you are doing what you what you know is right for those you are responsible for. Sometimes women are so shitty to each other. Hope you enjoy lots of support here. :)

I have been eating about 50% raw since about January this year. I have bought a dehydrator and cook lots of things in their so they are considered raw (different burgers, cookies, flax bread and of course I make dried fruit in their which would be a great snack for kids. I understand "no dairy" and the concern for shots. How old are your children? I have a son who is 30 who works in Thousand Oaks doing cat scans and MRI's and my husband is an RN at UCLA. I am trying right now to go 100% raw. When is the next 100 day challenage?
welcome. I have been vegan for about 3 years and recently eating more raw. I am in Woodland Hills. Have found lots of great recipes on the net. Wanting to eat more raw to be healthier and to lose some weight too
