Late October 2010
Yep...it's called Skinny Bitch! And if you're offended by profanity, then read it in small doses. Me? I read it in about 24 hours...it IS a small book. But I was also consumed with getting my butt kicked into gear.
I've read a LOT...internet articles, get Dr. Mercola's daily e-mails, have talked to a LOT of people, even read The Maker's Diet years ago and made some changes then. But I've gone back & forth with organics & conventional foods, up & down with my weight so much that I think I REALLY needed these rude, harsh authors to be so "in your face", that I finished the book knowing I had to draw a line in the sand, and not look back.
Call it hard core or whatever you want, but I'm tired of feeling like crap and I have to do whatever it takes to get my body into the condition that God created it to be. If I'm slowed down by my weight, my energy level, my allergies or some dibillitating disease, then I am not functioning at the capacity that He created specifically for me.
The day after I closed the book, opened up a whole new world for me. I'm doing it...I'm becoming a vegan. I NEVER thought those words would come from me! I know I won't get the rest of the family converted right away, but just buying less junk and fixing more fruits & veggies for myself will benefit them too. And I've learned before that my kids do okay with small changes in their food as long as there is variety and good taste. My youngest even likes guacamole now!
