Started out on Dec. 3, 2013 at 172 pounds. Today is May 17, 2014 and I weighed 135 this morning! I have to keep doing double takes on the scale number. That number on the scale had not moved in ages. Yet when I adopted this raw vegan lifestyle, that number keeps getting lower and lower. I am now at my normal weight for my height of 5'6 " tall and age 56. It is nice to be in the normal range and not always feel so guilty for being at a so called "not normal" weight.
I like this lifestyle as it is all about abundance - seriously! One day I really thought I was overeating and was scared to weigh myself the next day and long behold I did not gain, but lost some more weight. I think the eating too little thing always tended to keep weight on me. But I guess my body now is happy it is eating more fresh fruits, veggies, nuts and seeds and is just really adjusting very well to this way of life.
There are many books out there on this lifestyle that will explain all the benefits of this way of life. I am not so good at explaining this way, but I will say this: I feel much better than I have in a long time with this healthy way of eating. And I am so happy that number on the scale no longer upsets me!

With Weight Loss - Tailor Your Wardrobe Yourself To Fit You Again
One of the benefits of a Raw Food Vegan Diet is weight loss besides feeling much better. Because of this your clothing will be a bit baggy as you are losing weight. I started my raw food vegan diet on Dec. 3rd and today is Feb. 15th. I have lost 20 pounds and I don't want to really buy a bunch of clothes as yet. So taking in the clothes I have is a good way to go for me at the moment to save money. Here are some easy video links on youtube that show you how:
For your jeans, here is a great video that shows you how to take them in with just two darts made on the back of them:

For your shirts or blouses, just sew the inseams of them. Here is an easy video that shows how:

Eventually you can reward yourself with some new clothing, but why spend a bunch of money yet especially if you still will be losing a bit more weight. Tailoring your clothing yourself is a good way to go in the meantime. And of course going to thrift stores or yard sales can be a good way to tide you over until you want to invest in some new clothing, too. Take care all.
