When I began becoming a vegan, I stopped eating all meat and replaced it with high calorie refined carbs. Between that and all the previous psych meds I was on (for diagnoses I eventually found out I didn't even have -- I was on 11 medications at one time), I gained tons of weight. I am not going to cover it up anymore. I have decided to become a raw vegan. I have researched it so much, I think it will help me. I don't think it's a secret that I had an eating disorder (anorexia and bulimia) years ago and now I have bouts of anorexia, bulimia AND now binge eating disorder, and chewing and spitting food out (it's a form of bulimia). I used to take 30 laxatives a day. At that time, I lost 70 pounds in 3 months, not eating and overexercising. It's like voices in your head telling you what to do. I know it's hard to understand, but I thought I would finally come clean and tell my story. I am now very overweight, over 200. I am so very embarrassed about it. It's time to be truthful. I am trying to be positive and work through it. There was a time when I was severely depressed and I was on all those medications so all I wanted to do was sleep and I stayed in bed for almost 2 years. I have created this, it's my fault, so I have to correct it. Please wish me luck. I have to get healthy for my family, ALL of my family. Thanks for reading this and hopefully I have your support.

My favourite books/movies/authors/pastimes are...
Wasted by Mayra Hornbacher, Madness by Mayra Hornbacher, Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling, Twilight Series by Stephanie Myers. I love poetry and write it as well. I love many other books but can't think of them now. My pastimes are spending time with my grandson, listening to music, surfing the web. I used to love shopping, but not since I have gained so much weight.
The Frugivore started this site to bring together frugivores across the Globe! Let us know what high fruit assistance do you need?
Just on how to get started. I went out and bought quite a bit of fruit, but not so much that it will go bad before I can eat it. How do you store all of your fruit?
