New to raw, but loving it!

[gabscastillo]

Hi everyone! I am relatively new to raw, although I was eating a pretty healthy diet prior to this, so transitioning is almost a relief... it's like I'm free not to eat some of the things that had been weighing me down, literally.

I have lots of questions, and I really want to find a community to share this experience with. I've had some not-so savory experiences with other communities. I've found some groups and individuals to be judgemental, ridgid... etc. That's not to say I haven't also found a lot of support and inspiration. I'd like to find a place to where I can share my journey- honestly- and not face judgement and rigidity.

Thanks for hearing me out, and I'd appreciate any thoughts or feedback.

Thanks!

hey gabscastillo, i think you'll soon find that on this forum everyone is very open and willing to be supportive and give feedback without being judgmental. we all know that everyone is on their own journey and the journey will be different for every person. so welcome to the forum!

Yes, welcome and may everyone here be supportive of each other. That's why I check in almost every day. I may not respond but I do read the posts. I have gotten some very good ideas here, most of all that we are all human and need each other to succeed, even when we stumble.
Try not to let outside forces influence you, I know that's hard. If you do have trouble just pick up and keep on going on the path you have set for yourself.
I had some trouble maintaining the raw lifestyle this past weekend but I am back on track and Raw once more. Feeling better too.

Thanks for the thoughts and support. I am really excited to be on this journey, and would love to find a safe, comfortable place to share, draw strength and inspiration from others, and be able to support my friend.

Thanks so much for the welcome!
