Awesome words of encouragement!
For all the ladies who are here and need encouragement (and gentlemen too), I've just shared a new video on Empowering Women with Raw Foods. If you are struggling with feeling confident, losing weight, or finding health success, I truly hope that this video reaches you. I believe that women in particular have a truly unique relationship with food that can either rule them or empower them. Every woman that I know wants to glow when she walks into a room and inspire the world--so "lettuce" do this together! I hope that you take a few minutes to watch and share it with your family and friends. Gain confidence, re-establish your relationship with food, and gain true success! Are you ready?!

Family reunion weekend!
It's been a few days since I have been here.. I have been at my family reunion for the weekend. This was super difficult due to eating all raw foods. I do have to say my family was really supportive of me and I really appreciated it. The hardest time must have been when they had pot luck bacon and potatoes, BBQ chicken and peach cobbler. I planned ahead by making some yummy raw almond joy treats and bought some raw meals at Gingers cafe in Springville, Utah.
I was surprised that many of my siblings tried the raw treats and actually liked them.. :)
This showed me that all things are possible!
Eating raw food has helped me heal emotionally and I feel so much better than I did in the past.
So onward with the journey... today is day 17!
Although I have not lost any weight so far I have lost inches. I revived a compliment today "you look smaller"... this made my day!
I went to dinner tonight with my son to a local Mexican restaurant casa veda I believe its called. I struggled with not eating the chips and salsa and chips with the tropical guacamole, however they were super nice and prepared me a low temp fajita with onions, peppers and pineapple that was divine and considered raw due to the temperature.. It was Delicious! So thankful for everyone's support!

Day 6 eating raw food
Well, end of day 6 of eating raw.. I am loving the food, but realizing just how many emotions I had stored that are being released as well.. I am using all I have learned to heal emotionally during this physical cleanse as well. Almost 1 week down and 3 to go! Bailey has decided for his first non raw food he is having a baked potato... I haven't decided mine yet.. but Gingers Cafe in Springville is my new favorite restaurant. They have raw, vegan, and organic food that is very tasty!
