So, recommended to me by some guy was the book Skinny Bitch, written by some very sassy ladies… He is big into vegetarianism or should I say wants to get back there and I want to be here for my health. Did some research, checked it out at McNally Robinson, read just under half of it in the store, LAUGHING MY BEHIND OFF and enjoying every bit of it, and did decide to buy it. Now, I am doing some investigating on the net this early AM (fur child woke me up) and found an article I can not respond to it so I will post the link and my comment about it.

My comment: It is easy to bash the beautiful especially when they are saying things that are unknown or maybe you do not understand, but these woman have gotten the nutrition aspect nearly right on. I personally do not agree with soy in such high quantities, but over all I think this is where nutrition should be heading. I think the only mistake is alienating so many meat eaters because the book is a bit harsh and will not reach so many. I think it is wrong to put woman into the category of bimbos and skinny whacks just because the notion of holistic nutrition is so far from your grasp. Does the fact that they happen to be drop dead gorgeous have anything to do with the negativity? They are harsh in such a sassy and hilarious kind of a way and your words are equally harsh, but they do have the facts and that is what I am learning to love about a loud mouth - intelligence! As for Ms. Beckham, I wish I had the thick skin that she indeed must have. Cheers to all the chicks out there, overweight (me, but I am nearly at my healthy goal weight) and those who are not. Great health to us all! -a former big flesh eater and now I have trouble thinking about meat and animal products. Guess I received me wish. This book is not for the faint and yet minus the big bad words it could be talk in schools. But alas, it will not be and we will continue to shovel the acid forming foods in our stomachs despite the fact that we are not Super-Hydrochloric Acid Heroines, unfortunately. (Grief I am getting too creative…. what I mean is most of us do not have large amounts of hydrochloric acid in our guts to even deal with large amounts of protein. I still feel the cheese in me from a couple days ago. Wish this were a joke. )

Everything does indeed come in it’s own time! Be careful what you wish for is my lesson today. Still I look forward to reading my new books. Purchased a few different kinds of books last night. Who knew I could be such a book worm? Never use to be. Also excited to read my new Drew Hayden Taylor book too.

Well I must go and make my Mom a Mother’s day pressy as we are going to see her today.

Happy Mother’s day to all you Mom’s out there. It isn’t easy to be Mom, but you do have the #1 job! Take care of yourselves.

Today I am thankful for Dr. Marc’s words of wisdom with his recommended diet (essentially vegan), the hilarious and bright Skinny Bitch and also how things are becoming more clear for me. Live, live and live some more. Food is just the energy, but where I go, now this is suddenly seeming more, interesting……
