Raw Radiant Health

What to do when friends and family don’t support your raw food diet?? I have to say, if anyone is on a high raw food diet or a 100% raw food diet, at some point or another you will encounter someone who either completely opposes your diet or criticizes what you are doing. The funny thing I have noticed is the people you least expect to support you, are usually the ones who will encourage you the most, and the opposite– the people you think would really understand and gravitate towards what you are doing, may be the ones that give you the most resistance.

In all, no one likes change and when you get on a different diet, the people who are closest to you are affected as well. So what do you do?

Well, I’ve got some ideas and tips for you….

So today I received an interesting email, I loved the question!!! I was asked about finding the love of your life while on a raw food diet. As we all know, we eat very differently than majority of the population and what do we do when we are dating? What do we do if people judge us? Will Prince/Princess Charming love and adore us even if we are only eating raw fruits and vegetables? — I believe, Yes!!

Today I had my weigh-in and to be honest, I was soooo frustrated with my results!! I got the tape measure out as well to take my measurements– the scale won’t move, but again this week I’ve lost a few inches!!!! (check out ‘Weight Loss Progress Page on my blog– I’ve updated my weekly measurements and weigh-in). Despite the fact that the scale didn’t move much this week, I realized I need to gain perspective on the overall process– its now been a month and I have lost 9 pounds in total and 3 to 4 inches off my overall physique– that is fantastic!!!!

So today’s episode is about my weigh-in, my reaction and what I did to help me move forward and continue. The whole weight loss journey is full of ups and downs, but what is most important is to never give up.
