Hi! I am middle aged, Aussie and I want to return to raw eating, and become a vegan for my mental, spiritual & physical health. Years ago I was very ill, too sick to work and spent 4 years at home on my couch, very depressed. Eventually I was diagnosed with celiacs disease, multiple allergies & other health problems. I changed my diet to mainly raw, changed my lifestyle and regained my health. Starting 3 years ago I gradually I went back to old habits. My health began to decline and I started to gain weight. Last year was one of the most stressful, traumatic years of my life. My health has deteriorated. I am at my highest weight, I now have a number of health problems. I am angry at myself for allowing this to happen when I already have experienced a second chance so many years ago. People around me donâ€™t realize that I am only holding it together by a thread, I feel just like I did all those years ago, right before my health completely gave out. I want to return to the healthy, raw lifestyle I know works for me, I am having dreadful detox symptoms right now. I want to get my life back in balance again.I know I can do it as I have done it before. Iam looking for a supportive community to share the journey with.
