When you love salad more than almost any other meal you make.

When you actually can binge on salad.

You never again have to worry about getting bitten by mosquitos because the raw garlic you eat acts as a repellant.

When you constantly talk about how yummy the food you just ate or will eat, tastes.

When people discuss the junk they wanna eat at the movie theater and you have absolutely no interest in any of it and you're deciding which raw snacks you're gonna sneak in.

When you always carry an emergency raw bar just in case.

When you make sure to bring food in a cooler tote if going out for several hrs.

When it's summer and you're excited there's an overabundance of tasty fruits to choose from that you usually can't get any other time of the year (or they're not as good) and they're much cheaper.

When you realize just how much fruit you never tasted prior to raw and you loved fruit when SAD.

When you realize just how much you missed out on your whole life.

From when I was newly raw:

When you're talking on the phone about how you haven't used a microwave in years and have to run to the kitchen to see if your apartment of 3 months has a microwave because you can't remember & never go near that side of the kitchen.

When you manage to make a new raw meal and are so proud of yourself because you never liked to cook when SAD.

When your ready-made raw food meals arrive and you're so excited, like you received a gift you've been wanting.

When those same meals are so tasty, you can't imagine ever having to eat cooked again.
