Hello! I first found raw in 2006. I was working full time and going to school part time. We moved in with family, I started school full time and work part time. Eventually the cost of raw was too much on our small budget and space was VERY limited. I eventually had to give up being mostly raw. I kept at my smoothies. Eventually my cheap blender broke and I stopped completely. I kept up with eating salads and raw fruits and veggies. So by the end of 2009 I was back to almost the old eating style.
Fast forward to now. Finished school, got a real job, gained a ton of weight, we bought a house. I work out of my house now.
And within the next year we want to start a family finally.
So here I am wanting to get back to the health I had. :D

It sounds like you have good reason to want to get healthy. Think of the children you want to have and decide to do them a favor and get your health under control. They will need a physically fit mom who can keep up with them. They need a mom who will be around well in to old age. It seems like that is far away, doesn't it? But healthy habits have to start somewhere. Good luck on your journey.
Welcome back to eating raw!
Whoops! I selected the wrong heading ,...sorry for all the caps!
Do you have room for a garden at your house? Fresh veggies growing in the garden (I love freshly picked snow peas!) are a huge incentive to stay raw.
I keep a garden on my deck. I tried to grow things in the ground but they fell prey to deer and slugs. So on my deck I grow three or four veggies and some herbs every year. In past years, as I have become more and more disabled, I have had a smaller garden. And each year, I say it's my last. LOL And it never is.
Amazon has saved me a few times!
