I was introduced to the raw life_style_ last spring while reading The Master Cleanse by Stanley Burroughs (I think this is correct). I had never heard of such a life_style_ but I was really intrigued because I am morbidly obese. I started the first of July and was going strong with some breaks here and there because of travel and other social events until the end of the year. I lost a total of 35 pounds by the end of the Sept and pretty much maintained that loss until the end of the year. I have surely gained that weight plus 5 lbs back and I feel terrible. I have purchased several books and stocked my house with the necessary appliances but the stresses of life get me everytime.
I just got a new job and will be moving to next month and I am hoping this will give me the boost that I need to get back to the life_style_ permanently. Anglea your story is one that I feel I can relate to more than all of the stories that I have read because you too were morbidly obese. My prayer is to find a group or buddy in my new location (Greensboro, NC) to help me be more accountable.
I look forward to meet people here who have a serious desire to make the necessary life_style_ change. See you all around the forum.
