Date: March 27, 2008 11:49PM I feel so fortunate. I have yet to have anyone say anything negative about my increasingly raw diet.
I do, however, have people comment (negatively) on my thinness - but that was happening before the rawness (I dropped 3 sizes last year, in a short amount of time - the result of a lot of Bikram Yoga and a load of stress). My boss calls me 'Skinny Minnie', which bothers me more than it should. He thinks it's a compliment, but I look at it as the flipside of 'Fatty Patty'.  Oh well. LOL.
This is my first post here, BTW. Sorry it went off-topic.

Date: March 28, 2008 03:27AM i hear you loud and clear. i am thin and always have been and total strangers have had zero qualms about walking right up to me in public and commenting on how skinny i am, telling me to eat more, etc etc. it's no less hurtful than telling a heavy person to put the hamburger down and back away. it's a terrible thing to be so disrespected like that.
hasn't happened in years though, i think i project that "don't mess with me" vibe too. Re: How do *you* handle...

Date: March 28, 2008 07:34AM I have been both thin and fat and I would much rather be thin. I found it most uncomfortable to have extra flab hanging onto my body in the form of "love handles". Raw foods have helped me rid myself of the flab in a natural and healthy way. Since going all fresh raw the excess weight has just melted away leaving a lean and trim me. Re: How do *you* handle...

Date: March 29, 2008 08:51AM It's kind of difficult sometimes. I work in a hospital and most people that I work with eat so unhealthy. I get comments every day and usually I handle it with just a slight smile and a "It's good." That being said, just made my first oppositional comment in six months. I drink a fruit smoothie every morning when I get to work, then for lunch a green smoothie. I sat down in the cafeteria for my green smoothie break and a coworker said "that's disgusting" and then continued to say similar comments for a couple of minutes. I evetually turned and said "I'm not asking anyone else to eat it. I sit here day after day surrounded by people eating things that I think are disgusting and I never say a word."

Date: March 29, 2008 03:50PM Maui Butterfly,what a wonderful time you had with Mother Teresa ! For me,she was a yogini,definitelly. She meditated every day and had messages from the "Higher Energy". Her light/energy must have been so strong,independently of her size.
La Veronique,I'm glad that you read that poem again.For me too,everytime I read it I feel so confident that in the final analysis is between us and God/The Highest Energy. Belly Fleur,coco,EZ,Gorillawar,we are beautiful for who we are.We are what we are. I'm getting to accepting myself for who I am,and that is such a good feeling,hard though.
