Piers, what you say is so true.  I think I am a perfectionist and I am trying to find the right way to eat and not listening to my body and finding out what's right for it (my body).  I think I need to take things slowly and simply.

I am hoping the simply changes I make to my lifestyle will eventually rub off on the family.  I mean my husband totally loves the gs and he is definately not into the raw way of living (not yet anyway, hee hee).

I am consciously not buying anymore junk food for the kids, ie icecream, biscuits.  If it is not in the house then they don't miss it.

Thank you for your words of inspiration
