OK kids! No more messing around for me. I have now been raw conscious for over two years and am at the exact weight I was when I first discovered raw foodism... This is only due to my constant backsliding and getting on and off the "wagon" innumerable times in this two year period. I have lost (and regained) the same 10-30 lbs. at least 10 times. Well, I have had enough of all that. I'm back with the Raw Food Boot camp crew at Carlene Jones' amazing new Rawk Village. I am currently participating in a 4 day fruit only challenge which will hopefully help to peel off the newest 5 lbs. of holiday chub that has recently attached itself firmly to my ass... And yes, it is 100% pure cooked vegan chub. I will be documenting my food intake and weight loss here for a while at least until this whole 100% low fat raw thing becomes second nature which will, with any luck, happen sooner rather than later... It has been an eye opener for me to realize that I gain weight just as easily eating cooked vegan food as I do eating SAD/vegetarian. I don't get as depressed eating vegan though. It seems like when I eat veggie/SAD I am depressed, binge, and gain weight. When I eat cooked vegan I also gain weight and binge, but I am not as depressed. When I eat high fat raw I don't really lose any weight and I have massive cravings for cooked food but I feel really happy and well. And when I eat low-fat raw I lose weight really quickly, feel great (almost so great I don't even know what to do with myself), have almost no cravings and definitely no depression. I actually find myself on such a raw high that I freak my own self right out. But, I am going to have to get used to it because low-fat 100% raw is what works best for the weight loss and that is what I am all about right now. I have sincerely had it with being fat.
Hope you all had a great holiday and wishing you the best in the new year.

Good for you! I am also beginning again, after some holiday lapsing and crappy feeling days. That raw high is so exhilerating, I can't wait to get it back. Then, yesterday, I discovered sylphs cleaning up the chemtrails in the skies above our house and I am feeling the most peaceful, loving thoughts known to womankind! Life is good! I am happy to share this journey with you! It will soon be the new year, time to head this way! Right? :)
Much Love!

Wow Connie! You are so blessed! Thanks for all your loving vibes and encouragement. I really appreciate you!
Wow, I love this post, & the insight into what works for you & why! i can relate to much of it, & it really resonates with my own sudden increase of determination...
...I've known about Raw for 2 years now, too, sinse I first joined RFBC, (lost 43lbs in a month & a half, then stopped...slowly gained almost all of it back, going back & forth with raw...)
When the time is right, the determination gives you strength, & the ability to press on no matter what grows by the day...& I'm finding that my forays into cooked is way less than ever before! 9# times in 3 weeks!)
Thanks for sharing from your heart!
You can do this! I can tell!!!
It's time!!!!!!!
