I remember that first week in June forcing myself to go through the motions, feeling sluggish and negative. I felt better by the end of the first week and good the next week and it just kept getting better. Be kind to yourself and just keep going :)

You know I came home from the gym just a short while ago very discouraged...I had a lot of negative mind chatter going on and was lamenting my chubby-girl jeans that no longer fit me (and not because they are too big:)...My trainer also had me jump rope today (sad, very sad) and I was afraid that it would measure on some seismic scale and cause a panic in Northern CA...lols
HOWEVER, After looking at these photos, I have a kernel of hopefulness stirring...
You ladies all look beautiful, healthy and vibrant!
Thank you for the inspiration!

Kimberly, There were so many times when I thought I just wasn't cutting it in the first rehab unit. I wasn't really raw, I was all over the place with my eating and I felt like a fraud. But everyday I logged in and got re-motivated by reading of other's success and even failures and it made me keep trying. I swear it rubs off on ya. So keep coming back. Keep reading, not matter what happens! It works! And log into the Vault! :-)

I love the before and after. I'm trying to indoctrinate myself by staying on raw food boards and going to lectures, when possible. I feel tha if I tune in all the time I will be able to stay on raw.

I lost 45 lbs on a Raw Food Life Style before Raw Food Rehab...
During RFR I lost 5 lbs and 9 inches during the 11 weeks. I was SHOCKED to see that I had lost an additional 9 inches. I love this community and everyone that is in it. You all mean so much to me. I hope to meet you all one day real soon. Thank you Penni for investing so much in all of us. I really appreciate you.
XOXO

I was actually shocked to see such a difference in my before/after shots... didn't think there would be any really. The difference is obviously not in weight, but what I see in my before picture is pure depression. At the time I didn't think it was that bad and I especially didn't think it showed... guess I was wrong. Looks like I just rolled out of bed in the before shot, but this was actually me up, showered and going about my day... not even able to fake a smile. In retrospect, I realize just how sad I was and eating SAD just made it worse. If I hadn't seen the before/after pictures together, don't know if I could have appreciated what eating raw has done for me. Would have only focused on the numbers on the scale and would have probably missed out on the tremendous positive changes that happened because of RFR. Ready now for Round #2!

Aimee, your skin smoothed out too!

I felt so much better after 11 weeks of mostly raw. It showed physically, but the emotional, mental and spiritual changes were just as impressive.

[Lau-raw]

OMG! You look amazing!!
