My name is Evie, I am a 36 year old mom of two sons. I lost 40 pounds over a year ago. A book written by Marilou Henner inspired me. I was raised a lacto ovo vegetarian, after I read Marilou's book I decided to take it up a notch to become a vegan and elimate all refined sugers from my diet. I lost 40 pounds, fairly easy, then the holiday season came along with my mother-in-law...who has an even bigger sweet tooth than I do... Anyway, I told myself I would just eat crapy while she was visiting. She controls the meals and I don't want to hurt her feelings. But then stressful situations arose one right after and I emotionally ate my way through them. Thus losing all my hard work. Since it has been a year ago that I lost my way, I thought I would make a personal commitment to pickup and start over. Promising myself, that I will commit the next year to being healthy. I have always wanted to try the raw food lifestyle. Here is my chance.
