I am really struggling to commit to pushing forward in my decision to become raw again. I was raw for a year got sick and it all went down the drain after I got well again I did not have the motivation to return to a raw life style. I am set on getting the life I had started back but am struggling. I am worried about social situations, temptations, and afraid it wont make the difference in my life I am hoping for. Since 2 years ago when I stopped living raw I gained a great deal of weight and it has been such a struggle carrying around this weight I am ready for change but just am having trouble fully committing. Any encouragement inspiring stories and advice would be soooo appreciated!
Thanks!!! xx

Take it slow and love yourself. :)
Social situations - they are only as tough as you decide they are. If you are confident and happy in what you are doing then the problems/uncomfortable situations will cease to exist.
Temptations - tell yourself you can have whatever you want. If you do not feel restricted then you will find it easier to stay away from things because you will know that you are actually allowed to eat whatever you want. You will probably end up eating the stuff sometimes, but that is okay It is a process and you will grow from these times. Eventually, your body will figure out what makes it feel happy inside and what doesn't. :)
Afraid it won't make the difference in your life you are hoping for - what have you got to lose? :) If it doesn't, then it is not right for you. If it does then that is great! And it probably will make a lot of difference. Even if it isn't exactly everything you were hoping for, some progress is always good.
Take it slow - however slow you need to go to make it work for you! Any step in the right direction is always a positive thing, no matter how small! Steps add up!
Love, love, love yourself! Tell yourself every day! The more you love yourself, the more you will want to do what is right for you, whatever that may be! You deserve this! You are worth it! You are amazing!
