I am a 43 year old mother of 7. My body is in a MESS! Big time! I have been praying and I feel this is what I need to do. My long term goal is 6 months my short term is one day at a time. My list of ailment are too numerous to mention. Long story short is I feel I am dying and if I don't do something radical I will loose my life and leave my children momless! I have a juicer..it is like a champion, I am using a friend's vita mix, I have a very cheap dehydrator, so I think as far as equipment I can do this. I would like a mandolin sometime but I can wait. I am not sure where to start..I have been reading things like crazy and watching youtube videos also. I am excited to start. The hard part will be cooking for the family while I eat other things. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to overcome this..or has done this?
Thank you in advance!
Blessings,
Cathy

Hi Cathy! My name is Skylor Powell and as a holistic health counselor, I help individuals who are interested in lifestyle change, but need a little guidance as to which path they should follow. I offer, conveniently, a 6 month program that involves us meeting twice a month where we will set new goals for you to achieve through your raw eating journey. I work with lots of couples and families who are struggling with Check out my website for more information, www.myyoganutrition.com. I would love to be able to support you! Best of luck :)
Hi Cathy!
I am new to raw as well! Was previously vegan (with some fish, I know it's cheating, but they are tasty little critters!) . My family is pure blooded Minnesotan with a love for all things cowish... So I too run into the cooking dillema. Luckily, my family loves and respects me and my eating habits so we all cook together. They make their food, I make mine. They even taste it sometimes! The important things is to keep the family together. We make it a point to eat together every night regardless of what's on the plate. It honestly becomes a nonissue after awhile.
The hardest part for me is learning not to taste when I cook their food... SAD food still smells good to me. I hear this too will pass.
Good Luck!
