I'm 27, married and a mother of 3 from Seattle. While I'm definitely looking to drop some excess weight, my main goal is to finally be able to say I'm healthy. Heart disease and diabetes run in my family and by eating raw vegan diet, I'm hoping to combat that. Also I'm teaching my children better eating habits so as not to make them statistics in the epidemic that is child obesity(All 3 of my kids are surprisingly fit and prefer fruit to fatty sweets, so fingers crossed hoping that won't change over time). Also, while I'm not in the obese category, I'm currently the heaviest woman in my family(5'5, 176 lbs), due to my horrid eating habits of the past... Portion control means nothing if you're constantly eating foods that are high in fat. While my mother and sisters are all thin, they're definitely not healthy(smoking, drinking, bad sleep patterns, etc). I want to be an example for them by showing them how wonderful the raw vegan lifestyle is, and even if they don't want to do it 100%, any amount of change is better than none. I love this lifestyle, but I do struggle with it from time to time and would love to be part of a community like 30BaD for that added support :)

The Frugivore started this site to bring together frugivores across the Globe! Let us know what high fruit assistance do you need?
You know how when someone in AA feels like drinking, they call a sponsor? When I have a craving I can't kick, I just want to remember I'm part of a community whose goal is optimum health through optimum diet. I don't need praise, I don't need my hand held, just to remember that I can't recommend based on my own experience the HCRV lifestyle if I'm not living it. I'm always learning more and more every day and I know I'll have questions(juicing vs. blending, appliance selection, budgeting, etc), and I feel like this would be a great way to get answers to those questions. Plus, for a while now I've been following Freelea and Harley's youtube channels as well as some great others and it's given me a whole new perspective on food, and definitely saved my life in the long run. So thank all of you <3
