Raw Foodists and dating?

But the though of socialising and travel does concern me. Trying to figure out how I will survive in such situations, worries me. I really think it's my newness to the lifestyle that can be confining. It's not just the change of eating style that must change, but the mind set that must also go along with it. I am sure when I really start to think "out side of the box" that half of these concerns will fade away. I would hope that when I have a real good grasp of what I can prepare food wise for each social situation, I will feel more at ease.

I went out of town for seven days recently and It was tough. I went to my home town in Southern Utah after about day four I was getting super anxiety. I ate three lara bars at once and was not satisfied. I think that it was just because I knew that my "support" system was gone. Nice health food stores, food dehydrator, food processors,etc. the next time I travel I'm planning a head and bring a lot stuff with.

 

 

Let me just say... that, anywhere human beings really want to

travel to.. (meaning, not Antarctica for one..),

there WILL BE PRODUCE!

 

Produce is everywhere. enjoy being a raw fooder and eating the many

varieties of locally grown produce in the region that you are visiting!

All the tastes, sensations and nutrients will vary, enjoy the journey

instead of feeling so constrand.

 

Just my opinion though

 

I concur.

In my local Organic grocery store, some lady caught on I was what they call a raw foodist. She said OOOOOHHHHH you're one of those!!! What the hell is that suppose to mean.

 

 

Yeah, I get that a lot. When people find out I believe in God, eat vegan, don't drink alcohol...you name it. It used to bother me a lot, I don't care anymore! I am who I am, if people have a hard time with that, they have severe issues!

People will always fear what they don't understand. And since we are brainwashed in school about everything (pretty much) who can blaim them? They don't know any better...but most time I thik people are just curious and with that, suspicious towards anything new. But be patient and treat them with the same kind of respect that you would wish for them to show you, and I believe they will come around. If not, then at least respect you and your choises!

I tried getting real serious not too long ago with a "SAD" eater. We really loved each other but honestly, the social scene, even in private scene did not serve us well at all. Kind of like flanders situation, we just could not click all the levels that we did click very well on suffered more and more as the days went on.

 

As of now, for a casual whatever, it feels nice just to be out and experience different being and not to 'limit' myself but to get serious i would have to say i definitely need someone who is at least vegan or it would be really hard to appreciate one another and survive.

I have only been raw for seven days, but even then I've recieved negative comments about that choice. I'm 18, so I'm a senior in highschool. When people ask me why I choose to be Vegan, or raw, I just tell them that it makes me feel better, both physically and mentally. I told a girl that eating raw has already started to affect me positiviely and I feel great and she replied with, "Like...I mean, HOW do you feel better? What's different?" But I knew that I could never explain it to her, she's living an unhealthy lifestyle that has become "normal", it's something everyone needs to experience for themselves, I believe.

 

It does suck that people can't be more open-minded about it, or even most things to be honest. All I know is that once I find a girl who is at least ok with me being raw, or hopefully she is raw too, I'm sure I will appreciate the situation much more .
