Ay I feel lonely cause even though I am receiving support, I am surrounded by people who eat processed food all day long. I have been strong for 2.5 weeks and I am sure this is just a HUGE hurdle that I have to pass. Any suggestions or recommendations on how to cope.
Please help, I'm desperate. The cooked food is killing me slowly and I can feel it.

suggestion....
give yourself credit for recognizing what cooked foods is...an addiction...and you realize its hold on you. knowledge is power man! if you thought nothing of this occurance, then i would think now may not be the time to go raw for you, but this acknowledment is huge...don't let anyone tell you otherwise. the road to 100% is long and sometimes lonely. i went raw living with my boyfriend who had all sorts of crap in the house all the time. i did my best not to think about craving those foods as i had reached a point of realization myself that those foods were no good. i'm very proud of you for your awakening.
no one is perfect and no one has the "right" answer for you....you know as much as the rest of us that everyone's bodies are different and react differently to different things, but this can be your jumping pad too. take note of your emotional status at the time of your cravings and exactly what you are craving, you'll learn a lot about yourself. i can't go on to tell you how many character flaws i've learned about myself just by becoming aware of myself. the changes to come are amazing, and empowering, take them as they come...they are all for your growth as a human being. becoming a raw foodist goes beyond just food...it helps you not only with "whole foods"
but also to become a whole person.
good luck, your on the right path even though you're not really feeling it right now.
keep us all updated with your success to come.
peace
