MOTH

Yep…it’s definitely happened to me. Cacao is a very occasional treat now.

Aw, thanks, Zoe! I was hoping I’d hear from you. I’m not a member of giveittomeraw, but I will definitely investigate further, hehe… ;-)

You’re right; I NEED to start going to some raw food events and meetups. I’ve been putting it off even though I’m a member of the Boston Meetup group. and get notices in my email every week about the goings-on. I guess I’m a little shy; I’ve NEVER MET another raw person before in person. But the desire to meet and have companionship with someone who eats the way I do is overwhelming sometimes. I would love to go to Raw Spirit Festival..I’ve seen online videos of the event and it just looks so clean and healthy and fun. I think I’ll try to go next year…I have a whole year to save up!

You’ve motivated me…I’m gonna branch out!

Not necessarily anything serious, just fun and companionship. I am the ONLY ONE I know who eats this way and I have to admit that I daydream about dating a raw vegan. CONSTANTLY! My passion for health and raw foods has increased to the point where I do not think I will be able to date anyone who doesn’t eat the way I do.

I KNOW diet isn’t everything…but well, we are what we eat! I don’t want to kiss anyone who puts anything dead into their body, you know?! Maybe it’s a little neurotic and obsessive to think this way, but well, I just want to be honest and share my feelings on the topic…Goneraw is as good a place as any to lament about something that’s been on my mind for awhile. I fantasize about uncooking together and just ‘being raw’ together.

At first I was thinking that I would still date a vegan…but many vegan’s still eat like crap! And I do believe that cooked food is dead food. That view might be extreme to some…but it is real for me.

I would LOVE to share my love of fresh, raw living foods with a partner who UNDERSTANDS WHY I eat this way!

Part of me wonders if I am being materialistic. But I believe that diet influences consciousness greatly and there is a certain type of energy that I am attracted to…pure raw energy.

I don’t mean to be divisive or nit-picky; I love my friends and respect their right to eat however they wish. It’s their bodies. But if I am going to share MY BODY with someone, I would like it to be someone who eats raw…

can you blame me?

In the meantime I will just stay RAW and single. ;-p

Roadrunner, THANK YOU! That’s exactly what I wanted to know more about and to hear from people who have embraced this lifestyle full time. Do you eat non-sweet fruit as well, like cucumbers and peppers and tomatoes?

I’ve just noticed that I feel SO GOOD after I eat such lucious fruits, sweet and nonsweet, I love them all. I’ve also been inspired to go all organic, and it’s not that much different in price, and I believe it’s so worth it for the difference in taste.

I’m glad to hear that you haven’t lost your teeth or anything crazy like what I’ve been reading about on the net. Seems like there is a lot of misinformation out there. I just feel so happy and at peace since I started eating all fruit and I will continue to do so. I will trust what feels the best for my body.

Thank you for the in depth reply!

Hello rawbies! Well, after almost four months 100% RAW, I now feel awesome enough when I’m sober that I want to continue this feeling of clarity and high energy forever! I have been using marijuana habitually as a coping device to help me feel good about life for YEARS, and tonight I realized that it’s no longer necessary.

I already feel AWESOME, and I owe it entirely to the RAW diet, yoga and exercise, which I have stuck to religiously. When I first started going raw I read about how it has helped people come off of drug habits and addictions, and I really hoped it would do the same for me. Since I’ve been RAW, I’ve gradually become so sensitive to the way ‘THINGS’ make me feel that I have come to grips with the truth: Marijuana doesn’t make me feel good anymore; it doesn’t make me happy and it impedes my development and my dreams.

Letting go of this drug is an emotional process that I have struggled with for years; and I am tearing up just thinking about letting it go, FINALLY. I have friends who toke so I certainly don’t judge anyone who uses it and can definitely relate. It’s just that I don’t need it anymore. I already feel GREAT without it, No additives necessary, ya know?

I just want to be completely pure. COMPLETELY my RAW Self. NOTHING ELSE.

Encouragement, feedback, and understanding appreciated.
