Hey There! Welcome to the Raw Food World.net blog! I just wanted to tell you a little bit about me so that you know you’re dealing with a real live person here! I guess the best way to talk about me is probably to tell you what I’m not!
Since this blog is dealing with a diet that’s actually good for you, you’d probably expect that I’d be some hippie type back to nature dude, or some weight lifting, spend all my free time in the gym guy! Or maybe I’d be a scientist or nutrition expert or something along those lines. But I’m not!
Actually, I’m just a middle aged old fart (just turned 53) with gray hair and belly that’s starting to grow at an alarming rate! LOL – Don’t get the wrong idea, I’m not fat at all, I’m actually skinny….. but since I quit smoking (Yea! that was flippin hard!) I’ve been watching my stomach get bigger and bigger. And on top of that I’m getting some other little gifts that come from getting older. You know, heartburn, sudden pains in places you didn’t even know could feel pain, for no reason whatsoever! I suppose it’s just my body sending me a message: “Yes, you’re no longer bulletproof! Those days are gone dude and you better start paying attention to me quick or I’m gonna make you suffer and bad!
And yes, it did get my attention. So, I’ve been looking around on the internet trying to figure out just what I’m doing wrong. And it appears that my diet isn’t exactly what my body would like to see. You see, I’m not into grains, or natural tasting stuff, I’m certainly not Mr. Organic. Bring on that steak, mashed potatos and a side of corn, a couple pieces of white bread with real butter and a glass of milk. And if it’s around, I’ll chase it with a piece of cake! Yes, meat and potatoes all the way! But alas, I’m afraid that those days might be gone. Stinking heartburn, I can’t hardly stand it! I’m gonna have to do something and I don’t need a doctor to tell me that I’ve been eating garbage for years and years and my body is no longer going to put up with it.
So … Raw Food World, here I come, I think I’m going to have to learn to eat something that’s actually good for me!
