My Story
I'm one of those people that you wouldn't really call obese, but I've always carried an extra 10 - 15 kgs around. If you can relate, you've probably heard people say "oh, you're not too fat, don't worry", especially your thin friends!

I was never happy with my weight, but it was more my energy and mood. I suffered from mild depression, lethargy and a general pessimism about the world. I had high cholesterol, low sex drive, symptoms of PCOS, got a severe case of pneumonia, had bad B.O and would sometimes have attacks of anxiety and itchiness!
I tried diet pills, Weight Watchers, meal replacement shakes, tried just not eating (too hard for me!), and low carb/high protein diets.
My basic diet wasn't horrible. Muesli and milk for breakfast. Tuna salad for lunch. Cottage cheese on crackers for snacks. For dinner it would be chicken or tuna pasta with vegetables. That doesn't sound too bad, but there hardly any fruit or vegetables. What really killed me was my blow outs. A couple of times a week I would binge on pizza, nachos, crisps, barbeque ribs, ramen noodles, chinese food... you name it!
You might be wondering what I eat now, just boring salads and fruit. Not at all! My diet is so much more varied than ever before. I will probably never run out of new things to try - unlike my old diet of cheese and fat! I don't eat exclusively raw food, but as you'll discover, it's more what you put in at the beginning. Raw food has helped me beat my cravings and my bingeing.
Best of all, I feel so much better. My weight loss has been steady but consistent. Slow but for once in my life, I feel happier with my body, and my mood is so much better.
