She now weighs 138 pounds. “I was 300 pounds, very unwell, very miserable,” recalls Stokes. “I ate junk food all the time. I was very closed down emotionally. I had no interest in dieting; I just wanted to eat all the time … that was like my comfort in life.”
At the time, she says she was so “emotionally shut down” she refused to talk to anyone about what was happening. The weight was also taking a physical toll on her health and she frequently battled infections and illness.
Stokes says living her everyday life became a challenge.

A raw food diet is low in calories and high in nutrition, that`s why it has such a big success in weight loss.
Wish I could eat raw foods like that. With my gastroparesis, if I eat raw veggies I am in “emergency room” kind of pain. I have to cook my veggies – the ones i am able to even tolerate. I miss the crunch of a raw carrot… a celery stick… it would be great if I could try something like a raw food diet!
