Hello, everybody! I'm new here and have joined this site in order to gain support, make friends, and heal myself by going raw. I've been contemplating going raw for the past few years and have attempted it many times, going up to about 3 weeks raw, but I always end up giving in to cravings for cooked food and then lose my motivation and focus. Going raw makes so much sense to me and I know I need to do it in order to heal myself, mentally and physically, but for some reason I keep failing at it. I think part of the reason is that I don't know anyone else who is interested in health and healing and going raw - everyone I try talking to about it thinks I'm pretty wierd. My family and friends think I eat so healthy already (I've been a vegan for about 15 years), but I know I don't, because I eat so much cooked and processed junk. I've been thinking about different ways to transition to raw, maybe something that I haven't tried that would actually work for me, but I haven't hit upon the right way yet. I'm considering Arnold Ehret's mucusless (or mucuslean) transition diet - does anybody have any advice about that? Of course it isn't all raw, so I'm not sure if that would be best for me or not. Any advice, suggestions, encouragement would be greatly appreciated - I know going raw is really the only way for me to completely heal, and that I will do it, I'm just having a hard time getting there. Thanks and many blessings to you all!
