Confession: 1

I'm not completely sure about this... The thought came to me on the elevator looking at a thin chick..... Not completely sure if this is how I really feel.... I have put a lot of thought and effort in my lifestyle.... BUT..... If I was a thin as I wanted to be, I might not be a vegetarian... Its not like becoming a vegetarian got me to my goal weight.... It did free my mind when I stopped eating the wrong foods.... But unless I was as thin as I'd think I'd like to be.... I will never know.... i don't think its possible for me to beas thin as I dream.... I'm big bone-ded.

Well Queen, first I'd like to give you props for even making such a confession on such a public forum. Most wouldn't so that takes courage and gets props from me.

Question, did you actually lose much from becoming a vegetarian? Reason I ask, is because I stopped eating meat approx a year ago as a new years resolution, and found to have lost only about 5 lbs total.

And now that the end of the year is approaching, I can't front I am contemplating going back to eating Chicken and Turkey.

I am a terrible cook and am finding that my lifestyle and work makes it very limited in my choices of what to eat. I know you supposed to eat to live and not live to eat, but I am partly unhappy with my eating and it's based on a lack of diversity and frankly yo, I'm not enjoying my meals like I used to. Also I've lost muscle mass and feel not_as_strong as I used to.

The changes from me stopping to eat meat I am assuming took time, so I can't really say, "Yo Sun, I feel WAYY better not eating meat no more" I feel pretty much the same. Or at least I think so, I am thinking I may start eating chicken and turkey and see if I actually feel a difference and if it makes me put those lbs back on. If it does then I'll stop and wont go back again.

Did you actually feel an immediate difference when you changed your diet? I've always drunk allot of water and tried to eat as fresh and clean as possible, so maybe my system prior to stopping wasn't in as bad a shape for me to see/feel a significant difference.

Just curious if your experience was the same and more importantly can you explain what you experienced if it was any different?

Thanks and Peace.

Peace I Victory!

I have been a vegetarian for nearly a decade now. I did lose 20lbs at the onset, but have since found them. I do feel much better than I did when I consumed meat and I have learned to vary my cooking. I realized a few years ago, that even if I became anorexic, I would still be a "thick" anorexic person. I'm just built like that. But it still doesn't stop me from losing time longing for that which will never exist.

This way of eating is not for every one. I have met quite a few people that got very sick from eating like I do, even with supplementation. Every one is different. If you would like some ideas and recipes, hit me up and I will share with you what I consume weekly. Trust me, not all the recipes are difficult.

Peace,
Serenity

Backsliding on Home

All right, all right….. I know I’m prolly setting myself up for failure. Especially since I’m about to go to Show & Prove; and y’all know how it’s done on vacation… But… I think…. I am going to get back on the “raw food” bandwagon. Two reasons. 1st reason: I feel guilty every time I put non-raw food in my mouth. And I try to rationalize it all out by eating a salad with it. Imagine how it all looks, BK (just an example. I don’t do fast food on the reg) veggie burger with cheese and all the fixins, onion rings (cause I only eat McDonald’s fries) a vanilla shake and a side salad. I rationalized that the fixins and the salad are raw and therefore count toward my goal of ‘high raw’. NOT. 2nd reason: And most importantly…. This morning I put on a dress that I couldn’t wear last summer. The dress was so tight I felt like a sausage in it. I almost gave it to Goodwill. But I wanted to wear a sweater today that I rigged last night and this dress was a good fit. I expected to have to wear al...

"I Itch"

I have eczema. I have had it since I was a small child. My mother reports I’ve been spotted since infancy. I remember getting in trouble on purpose just to get the beating that would satisfy the itching for a minute. That weirded my Ole Earth out. I remember one of my godmothers used to slather me with bacon grease. She swore that that would calm the lesions. It did to some degree. But the dog became very friendly afterward. I still have outbreaks. Most of the time it’s a small outbreak. 80% of the time it occurs only on my arms, legs, and back. But it can pop out anywhere. Don’t sleep on adult eczema. It can get really bad, disfiguring and incredibly painful. I put it, mostly, on the weather. I usually have outbreaks in the winter or if I go somewhere and the weather is distinctly colder than my regular climate. I ALWAYS get something in the winter time. Whether it be light patches just where my bra strap rubs against my skin or all over my body. It feels like little need...

Skirting the Issue

I put on a skirt this morning. That’s not impressive. I put on a skirt every morning. I don’t generally where pants outdoors. I pulled this skirt out of the dryer. Guess what? It is loose. Real loose. I am happy dancing. You gotta be mindful of the history of the skirt. This garment began its life as pants about 5 years ago. Back then I was still wearing pants. When I decided to cease my slacks wearing ways and actions, I did not want to incur the expense of having to replace garments that I wore on the regular. It made perfect sense, since I sew, to convert pants to skirts. That’s what I did with the skirt I’m currently wearing. The trick is the skirt will be a pencil skirt if you don’t have material to add. And who does? Also my skirts have to be long. (3/4) So I have these fitted pencil skirts that used to be pants hanging in my closet. They serve the same function that they did when they were pants. Maybe I’ll blog about why I don’t wear pants later. I said all that to...
