• rawmamanibbles, I just wanted to say how encouraging it was to read your post and hear that your nursing has been going so well (it sounds) for the last months. I've only just started (6 weeks in). It is also so wonderful to hear you listening to yo…

• readingatwork, You are definitely not alone with this. I think that any significant change in diet can take a lot of time to get used to. Something that has been helpful for me (honestly, something I've done whether eating raw or not in life) is to …

  in Is anyone else having a hard time adjusting to preparing raw meals? Comment by kandace
• Well, the birth went incredibly well. It lasted 18 hours, so I couldn't imaging going that long without eating. We ended up with a few snacks provided by the center (apples, oranges) and some coconut water. I also sipped on a smoothie here and there…
