All this information out there. Some of it makes a lot of sense. Others just don't.
I know good and damn well that medications save lives. If it weren't for antibiotics, I would be one huge bucket of strep throat. It's just that these things make sense to me.
If we continue to eat garbage, our bodies will continue to produce garbage. Even more, that garbage will fester in our bodies, produce landfills inside that we can never get rid of.
I am not a scientist. I am not a doctor. I am not even what you could consider well informed. I've preferred to hide my head in the sand of my life and go day to day as though this life is one to waste. I have such a huge fear of death that this just scares me. I can't even think of it or I start to get sick to my stomach. My life isn't what I thought it would be.
It's not going to change. I'm never going to be famous and rich. I'm not even going to be the girl who's married to the sexy guy and has a beautiful family.
It's so hard to be me in my head. We all go through things and everyone has something that someone else wants. It's just one of those things about life.
I know I covet. But why? Because I'm unhappy. I'm doing my damnedest to get to a point where this isn't my dominant emotion. That's what a lot of this year has been about. It's been about me deciding who I'm going to be. It maybe just about finding out who I will be and what I'll stand for.
I have gifts. I know I do. I just need to find them again.
To anyone out there just muddling through trying to figure out your life, keep trying. If there's hope for me then there is hope for you.
All my love,
Kristi
Hi Kristie, I wanted to find out how you liked the rawjuvenate diet. It sounds pretty gross.
ReplyDeleteTwo things to think about: 1. Vitamin D levels, make sure yours are okay. If not, it's very hard to lose weight, and you will likely feel depressed.
2. three different diets that seem to work to lose weight: 1. raw food only.
2. low carb with 5 meals/snacks a day.
3. vegan.
If you are going gluten free stay away from oats, corn and rice for a while. My guess is that you will feel better. Good luck!!!!!! You can do it!
If you give up something, replace it with something else.
I really appreciate your comment and support!!! Raw Food or a Paleo diet has been something I've considered. I don't really like the idea as I miss so many things already with being gluten free. However, I'm still growing and changing and I figure I've been doing the bad for 29 years, perhaps its time to start the good!!
ReplyDeleteI really liked the RawJuvenate protein mix. It made my smoothies taste fantastic. I will, however say that I wasn't a HUGE fan of the Super Green Daily. It was just too gritty and well...over powering no matter what I mixed it with.
Thanks for stopping by!!
