| | | - Raw Food 2008
- The hardest struggle I have had with raw food was maintaining my weight. I always lost too much and looked very bad and thus, felt bad.
My biggest epiphany and break through happened when I went to visit my mom in December 2007. She looked me up and down and said, "You look good!" My mother also encountered a 50+ year old African American vegan in the store and she hasn't been the same since. She said that he looked incredible.
She always told me I was too skinny. I finally got it and have made raw work for me.
In two separate incidents, I met my uncle at a restaurant and he said,"It looks like [Chicoro] has gotten bigger around the hips. Her waist is the same size [small size though]".
Another cousin said as I came through her house, "Looks like [Chicoro] put on some weight." They said it in such a way as to be very approving. It's nice when people notice and applaud your efforts. Had they not been approving, I still would have kept on my path anyway!
For me this amazing because these are Southern people. Thick is healty in their minds. For the most part, my people in my family who made these comments are over weight. But, they never commented on my body before because they thought I was just too skinny. They seemed to be very pleased with how I looked in December.
The kicker is that I had been raw for two straight months, 60 days, before my visit. I had had no animal products and nothing cooked -except my corn tortillas!
I am not completely raw right now, but I have bought my groceries and I am going back 100% starting today, again. (Feb 24th, 2008) - subfolders: 8 and albums: 1
