Hi everyone,

I just began my raw journey two weeks ago tomorrow. So, far it's been ok. I still have a lot of the symptoms that were a result of my SAD diet.
Fatigue, want to sleep all the time, don't feel like cleaning the house or fixing meals for my family, have a "I don't care" attitude, my constipation has left me, I lost about 8lbs and have been at a stand still for days, have a very low libido, irritated and moody often, short-tempered, about 30lbs over-weight still, achy joints and muscles, no motivation or energy to exercise (even thought I want to) and probably more.

I have a wonderful, supportive husband who is eating lots of raw foods not only for me, but also for himself. He has lost 5lbs in one week of eating only a raw breakfast and dinner. I have three beautiful children. I am beginning to incorporate raw foods in their diets as well. My two littlest ones are the ones I struggle with. I am having a difficult time finding a variety of foods for them to eat for the different meals. My youngest is only 10 months and he is the hardest one. My oldest has been away for the summer, so when he comes home next weekend, he will have a rude awakening since he has been eating junk food for the entire summer.

Anyway, I am in a rut and am not losing weight after my first 8lbs and my ailments are not going away and I am not sure what to feed my children, but other than that I love raw food life. I know that sounds funny to say it like that, but it's true. I do love eating this way!

Peace and Happiness,
Kari
