I knew that I would now... blah dah duh duh daaaa
LOL
So I've talked earlier about how my mum always says I'm too thin. Every time I see her, well this time she said it to me over IM!! I was so upset that she would do this even over IM, I dont think she realizes how much it effects me. Every day I think of her words in my head and it's been a huge difficulty with me committing to be raw.
I was just going to let it get by, I usually say I few things like. "Oh yea, so maybe if I eat some french fries and snickers I'll put on a couple pounds and that way when I get sick, I'll have some hydrogenated oil and lard and preservatives to make me better". Ok.. So I'm a little sarcastic with her and it probably hasn't helped. I guess because I totally avoid confrontation and being fairly new and unsure about what I was doing in the raw lifestyle, that I didn't hold a firm ground. But now that I've researched and talked with so many raw foodists and read way too many books... I have arsenal!! That and I really do feel so good... duh da. So Nice... nuh nah
But this time she took it too far and said that having a potato every once in a while and that the average weight for someone my age according to weight watchers... (I do want to make two notes here... I'm less than 10 pounds under that and second when I ate junk food all the time, I only weighed 5 pounds more than I do now) And then she goes on about how our family is big boned and how well maybe I have dad genes" GUGHGLHGY!!!
so... I told her that I feel amazing and I have so much energy now that I literally HAVE to go outside on walks and I sleep way less everyday and I haven't had a migraine in over 3 months and i used to get them 1-4 times a week, I dont get dizzy spells anymore, my brain has turned into a sponge and I read a book a day plus I'm online researching and I think I drive just about everyone around me crazy (but it's been working out well because now my friends have started to ask me for help.) My husband has lost weight and he feels amazing and our relationship and gotten so much stronger and deeper . my skin has cleared up without prescriptions and putting crud on my face and I'm happy!!
And then I went on to say "So I look a little thin? I feel incredible and theres no way that I am going to sacrifice all those things so that I can look better physically"
Here's my mum's response. drum roll please...
"you are right"
Oh my gosh. Did that just happen??? Let's see that again..
"you are right"
I still cannot believe my eyes. I'm saving this chat!! LOL. Now that I think of it I should've just copy pasted... oh well. At least I got out some more energy.
Oh and just for kicks... her next IM right after that was about how her dog was so happy to see her when she got home. Guess she doesn't like confrontation either

- That's you on your raw energy.
