Life in the Raw Lane

So yesterday I posted my current size on my Facebook page and boy did the comments begin to fly. The one thing that baffles my mind is this... when you make a change for the better, there is ALWAYS someone declaring you are a fanatic, that you are going too far or you need to stop what you're doing. Some of the attitudes I am encountering due to my weight loss are the same attitudes I encountered when I stopped being a "church attendee" and accepted Jesus Christ as my personal savior.

I did learn a few lessons from my Christian conversion experience. #1: Don't let my zealous desire to save everyone be the very thing that turns people away from what I am trying to draw them to. #2: If they don't receive what I have to share, DO NOT take it personally... shake the dust off my feet and keep it moving! #3: Do not get weary in well doing. When you know you are doing the right thing and you are walking in truth, keep the faith!

Here are my responses to the comments from my post on May 1, 2010:

I didn't set out to be any certain size nor am I "aiming" for a particular size. My goal and purpose for the lifestyle change was increased health, vitality and wellness. I refuse to continue eating or living the way the world dictates when I see chronic disease, illness and death as the manifestation of following their (SAD) statutes. My health is my responsibility and I'm making the necessary changes BEFORE some catastrophic illness wreaks havoc on my body.

As for my rapid weight loss... I am a raw vegan, meaning I only eat fresh organic fruits, vegetables and raw nuts & seeds. No processed foods... if it's in a box, can or most bottle products I don't eat it. No refined sugar, no refined salt, no flour products, no dairy products. Extreme... ABSOLUTELY! Cancer is extreme, heart disease is extreme, diabetes is extreme, fibroids are extreme! So it takes extreme measures to deal with extreme circumstances & situations. The truth does not become a lie because you don't believe it. END FB RESPONSE

The bottom line is this... there is NO magic bullet that will instantaneously restore your health or make you lose weight. It is a process that you have to work through and make a conscious decision to make the necessary changes to promote health, vitality and wellness. It is up to you... the change is in the power of your choice.
