Obviously your mum must be able to help you with the food side, which will be a great help, and you just have to find raw things you love. David Wolfe even suggests not doing it 100% at once.
There are so many things on youtube you can watch to inspire you.
Lots of people giving their raw transformation stories and other chefs cooking amazing things.
Lots of links at:

Just look up stuff on youtube, by the people above and others. They make it look great! Think raw chocolate.
good luck

What difference does it make if the vegetables are cooked or raw? The calorie count doesn't change unless you add other stuff to it. I steam a lot of broccoli and baby carrots and make a lot of salads. It's ok if you "cheat" every now and then, if you don't allow yourself a little treat every now and then you will just go crazy and binge. I'm not a vegetarian or vegan, but when I'm trying to lose weight, it's easy to cut calories with no meat.
