Hi, everyone! I’m Erin, 26 years old, live in western NY.
Well, I am here because of my dogs, indirectly (a two-year-old Great Dane, a rescued mastiff and our newest family member, a twelve-week-old Great Dane. Yup, we love our dogs!) They eat a raw diet and have for a while. After seeing all the absolutely astounding changes in the dogs, it got me to thinking what a natural raw diet, eating the way nature intended, etc., would do for me… I know something has got to change as I’m always exhausted, feeling cranky and squishy and bad about the way I look…. I’ve gained so much weight that it’s just awful…eek. I realize it’s no way to live.
So here I am : )
I’m on vacation from work this week (yay!) so I’m really going to be thinking about things and sticking my toes in the water, so to speak. I’m embarrassed to even admit this here, but currently I eat what people would consider probably the worst of the worst SAD foods. So it’s going to be a big change.

Welcome Erin! I am still a relative newbie but my advice to you is take it slow and listen to your body. It is a big change! I started with the book “Green for Life” and for me it made the transition really easy and helped me lose some weight in the process! This site has tons of info and really knowldgeable people that will happily answer your questions. Good luck!
Thanks for the warm welcome :)
I’m really excited because I was messing around online (yay for vacation, ha ha) and found out a local farmer’s market just opened a store that’s about 2 blocks from my house. I know it will be easier to stick to if there’s close and cheap sources of food. Think I’ll head over there today…
