New Raw Inductee-- Looking for Some Help - Raw Food Chat

rawserenityjean · 05-16-2008

Hi all! I am new to the raw food thing. I am about 75% raw at this point and plan to go more full force into it (goal is 100% within next couple of months). I went to a wonderful raw food class & it gave me the inspiration to let go of my convenience food based "SAD" diet. However, I am the only one of my family, friends, etc. that is into not only being vegetarian/vegan, but now also raw. I guess I am looking for some support & may be some tips on how to stick with this. I am happy right now, but I worry about the long term success of my choice without any support.
Thanks!!
Peace,
-S.

It shouldn't be hard to find support. It may be easier to eat "normal" raw food around people such as fresh fruits and veggies as opposed to strange superfoods and concoctions, although it can be fun to expirment.

Many people eat raw with a cooked and/or SAD family, like myself. It does present its challenges. For me, I get support but the temptations around me are harder to deal with as I cook for my family.

Have you tried meet up? There may be a group in your area.
