Also, I notice the little pimples from eating nuts a couple of days before. And big dark circles from not getting enough sleep.<BR/><BR/>I need to go easy on myself, eh?<BR/><BR/>You guys remind me what a great journey this is!<BR/><BR/>Marjorie<BR/><BR/>p.s. Hi Heather! I don't remember "seeing" you around here before and I wanted to make sure I greeted you. :)greenmama!https://www.blogger.com/profile/02696773592324306007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4738616832467543349.post-35230452997256361152007-08-06T10:37:00.000-06:002007-08-06T10:37:00.000-06:00being from the midwest, i know all too well the fa...being from the midwest, i know all too well the family reunion casserole table and feel for you...i think that it was fantastic how you just told your children you loved them and held them while they were sick. it is amazing, though i'm sure amazingly hard at times as well, to let them walk their own path whilst educating them about living foods along the way, as judgment-free as possible, in hopes they will find their own way back to perfect health that much faster (which then will have so much more value because they did so of their own choice and volition).<BR/>thanks for sharing your experiences and thoughts so honestly. they are an inspiration to many.<BR/>peace.<BR/>heather :)Zephyr Skyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08122047970522521908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4738616832467543349.post-23486598003429289482007-08-06T10:32:00.000-06:002007-08-06T10:32:00.000-06:00I love that photo of you! You look fantastic! So...I love that photo of you! You look fantastic! <BR/><BR/>Sorry your family saw the reunion as an opportunity to cheat. Maybe after all the "purging" is done they will have a better understanding of the consequences of eating that way.<BR/><BR/>Hooray for you giving up nuts! I feel so much better since I did it. Anytime I eat any overt fats now I wake up with blemishes on my chin and forehead! When I told one of the guys in my office about it he said he thought women my age had hormonal issues that caused their skin to break out! LOL!<BR/><BR/>I'm so jealous you can get those great cucumber varieties locally. Unfortunately it doesn't get warm enough here to grow them. I still haven't found a variety I can get very excited about, but I keep trying.<BR/><BR/>You are doing great...for yourself and your family...not to mention the inspiration you spread to everyone who reads your blog! Keep it up!Jennifer C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06577833861854690187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4738616832467543349.post-66935867587921493122007-08-06T08:42:00.000-06:002007-08-06T08:42:00.000-06:00You look awesome with that buzz cut.

It's hard for me to even get my other family members to eat fruit. They're eastern European (Baltic) and traditional. Lots of black bread, meat and fish. Maybe it will be a learning experience for them when they realize how crappy the food made them feel.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4738616832467543349.post-48059695233077836302007-08-06T08:04:00.000-06:002007-08-06T08:04:00.000-06:00Marjorie, Your picture of yourself went straight ...Marjorie, Your picture of yourself went straight to my core! I have been dealing with exactly this issue, not just in my family, but in myself. I have lots of thoughts on this and can't wait to get back to blogging to write about them.<BR/><BR/>Just be assured that many of us share your frustraion and have also been up with a child throwing up the remains of grandma's, or other well intentioned adults, food choices. The good news is that the children themselves will one day realize what the food is doing and begin to self regulate.<BR/><BR/>You have been such a good influence on me, I know they cannot help but be influenced greatly by your dedication and perseverance. Just keep walking your talk and be the change you want to see.<BR/><BR/>Much Love and Light!<BR/>Connie<BR/><BR/>PS You realy do look great, still love you hair. The other adults at the reunion, as well as your husband, could not help but see all the positive changes in both of you. Did your husband check his blood sugar after his "feast?" That is usually a big awakening for the diabetics in my family. It is a sure fire way for them to see the damage they are doing, immediately.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4738616832467543349.post-11777602708848677532007-08-06T06:34:00.000-06:002007-08-06T06:34:00.000-06:00Oh honey -- I am so sorry for you.
