Helloooo out there in raw land!!

I've been raw on and off for three months (trust me to find out about raw in winter!) and have been checking out this wonderful forum, just thought I'd say hi and tell you that I think you guys are all lovely.

Look forward to chatting about this great way of eating/living/being!

Hi there 

Hi raw sensation, oxygen and happieraw,

Thanks for your replies,

My story? Well, ok then.... I started eating raw three months ago after searching the net for a natural way to get rid of adult acne (vain, I know, I know) well, anyway, getting rid of pimples turned out to be only the tip of the iceberg.

The clouds of uncertainty and indecision are lifting and I feel alive, well and incredible. YAY!

I have a wonderful, meat eating, cooked foods hubby who is never critical, only supportive even though he doesn't agree, and two great kids to whom I'm feeding more raw foods, but not as yet cutting out anything.

I'm sitting on around 80% raw at the moment (using the 80/20 rule) and in winter soups and cups of tea call my name, and I cannot resist - not that I make a big deal of resisting, as I'm still transitioning.

Anyway, I'll post some photos soon, I love yours, raw sensation! You Go Girl!

Love, light and happiness to all!

Hi Jennie,

I can't imagine my husband doing that... he's watching though- he sees me having yummy fruit for breakky, scrummy salads for lunch, sees the kids and I downing smoothies (some more green than others) and he doesn't ask for any, so I don't offer. Maybe someday he'll come round. He has sinus and allergies and I'm sure it would help if he was more raw, but that's up to him (I mustn't push, I mustn't push!!)

My pimples have almost disappeared. YAY! I think what's helped also is doing dry skin brushing. I do it (gently) with my face as well, and it's made a big difference- I now bypass cleansers and toners, and use essential oils for moisturiser if i need it.

I'm in Northern NSW- We're so close! Are there any get- togethers in the area? I think I read somewhere of a picnic at Byron??

Take care of you!

*exited* I don't know about Byron but I'm trying hard to organise a Gold Coast picnic. I think it will be in Palm Beach/Tallebudgeera where the playroom used to be. I'll let you know. If you would like to be notified by email then just pm me your address.

*double exited* (((((((((((((hugs))))))))))) Free! That's so thrilling. When are you moving? Oh wow I feel so lucky!

Hi Rawfairylady (I love the name its fantastic)

Welcome to the raw community. I have on of those men in my life and I dont think he will ever eat raw food and I mean ever. He is very supportive but its just not for him. And he says I cant force it on the kids (I have 2, 2 years and 7 months) they have to make up their own mind, which I do agree with but I make sure they have fruit before biscuit (or at least the 2 year old).

You have all support that you need with these wonderful ppl here. And any question just ask its so nice to know that you are not the only one going through this stuff.

Love to you Rawfairylady and your family and once again welcome you will love your stay here.

LOL Melissa, I posted it around the time I posted here I think!It's been and gone. It was a quiet one but a goodie. The next one will be on the Gold Coast next month. First Saturday of the month. I haven't decided yet but I'll think on it some more. Probably at Ashmore. I'll let you know ok?

Hey Fairy girl! Does soccer last all day or are afternoons free? I'm thinking of having a pot luck soon.  At my house. That will be an afternoon evening event. I'll keep  you posted if you like.
