In an e-mail dated May 15th, the day I posted
these pictures, Sharon wrote me saying:
"OH my, I look horrible! Not one good picture!!! Well,
I will look better as the months go on and this is the reason
I am doing this. To feel well and look awesome again.
Thanks for your support. Just being on this page makes
me want to be raw more and more".
love, Sharon
Keep it up Sharon, We know you can do it!
May 16th -
I had oral surgery on Tuesday.
This is my 7th gum/bone graft because of a car accident, ouch!!
In all of my surgeries I was always out of commission for
at least three days. I woke up this time Wednesday morning
with no swelling, no pain or even any discomfort. I
did not need pain pills. I spoke with my Doctor's office
and actually thanked him for the amazing results. Is
this coincidence or is it the living foods?? Could I
be this healthy so quickly I keep asking myself?? I
literally popped out of bed and said, "Did I really have
this surgery?" Needless to say, I am continuing
with my raw foods. It has been one week and I have only
lost 1 pound. However, I feel thinner. I FEEL
thinner, cleaner, and have more energy. The way I feel
is worth it. I look forward to the weeks ahead.
With love and commitment,
Sharon
I have had many people
try these outrageous crackers and all loved them. The
living and the dead! hee, hee.
Sharon's version of Flax Crackers:
1 lb of flax seeds (soak overnight
in water to cover, keep adding water as the flax seeds absorb
it)
in the AM: drain the little water
on the top.
Mix in:
2 tbls of dill weed
1 cup red cabbage chopped fine
1/2 cup scallions chopped fine (or any onion, shallot etc)
1 clove garlic mashed
1 carrot sliced thin with a peeler
2 tbls Braggs
1/2 cup chopped parsley
juice from one lemon
sea salt to taste (I love my salt!)
using teflex sheets lay a thin layer in each tray of your
dehydrator. Dehydrate until dry. Usually between
12 - 16 hours. (I have let my dehydrator go for 24 hours
and these are still delicious.) They are so satisfying!! Did
you know flax seeds help you to lower cholesterol? They
help your digestion and they help your hair and skin too!!!!
For the love of good food,
Sharon

Well, I ate so much yesterday
and was nervous to get on the scale.
In fact I was closing my eyes as I did.
When I opened them I found I had lost 1.5 pounds. How
can this be?
I ate a huge mushroom pate, two bowls of gazpacho soup, a
zillion flax crackers, an all natural V8 juice.
About four smoothies, as I am testing recipes for our juice
bar. Two almond cookies. A wonderful apricot torte.
Needless to say I was truly satiated!!
OK, I am even more motivated and more encouraged. My
head feels very clear. My body feels light. I
am ready for my day.
For the love of food,
Sharon

It has been two weeks and I have
lost 7 pounds!! This morning I weigh 131 pounds!!
It has been relatively easy for me. The hardest part
is dealing with my food addictions and the loss of the social
aspect. You know, picking a restaurant knowing what
meal you will order when you get there. The anticipation
and cravings of what you will eat. I do not, however,
feel as though I am denying myself of good foods. In
fact, I feel as though I have discovered good foods, great
foods. Yummy fruits that drip down my chin with their
juices. Quite sensuous!! Great crunchy veggies
in my salads every day. I feel true to myself.
True to my store, my customers and very true to the universe.
I am in a kinder place than I have ever been.
I ordered the best sun dried tomatoes I have ever had from
Jaffe Foods in San Diego and I carry these where ever I go.
They are a wonderful snack and have a long shelf life.
I eat them dried or I reconstitute them in a little olive
oil and lots of water. I concocted a great sauce for
my zucchini spaghetti with them.
A handful of sundried tomatoes reconstituted
one clove of garlic
four chopped basil leaves
four dates
red pepper flakes to taste (I love it spicy!!)
fresh oregano to taste
salt to taste
Combine in a food processor (add water if you need to) and
pour over angel hair zucchini. I am loving this summer
recipe!!
Be well, live well and stay in the raw!!
Love, Sharon

I lost another pound. I weigh 129.
WOW, I am under 130!! and I am not hungry. how
can this be? so little time, such an easy transition.
June 5th
The juice bar opened with rave reviews
and I feel so well.
I have worked for weeks straight without any down time or
days off. It is remarkable to me how I have made my
way through this stressful time. I have felt well and
strong throughout. A little tired, always able to continue
on.
It is no coincidence. I have to give most of the credit
to my new diet and eating habits. I am well. In
years past, with so much stress, I would have ended up in
the hospital with colitis for sure. Only last year I
was in Beverly Hospital for a couple nights and weak and unable
to move for almost two weeks.
My skin is vibrant my body feels clean and light. I
am so happy. I am actually looking forward to my next
set of pictures!!
With love, wellness and raw appreciation!!
Love,
Sharon
