Guest guest Posted April 23, 2005 Report Share Posted April 23, 2005 I have noticed in the last two days that my teeth are whiter and that my gums are a lighter pink. I thought this was a good thing but after reading some posts here today I'm now starting to wonder. I chatted with a friend of mine today. She wanted to know what I was doing to lose 18.44 " so I told her. Well, I got the reaction that I expected from her -- that is, everyone is wrong and she knows the only right way to do anything. In any event as she instructed me that I had to eat meat and I had to drink milk, etc. I quietly talked to her about protein in fruits and the calcium I get in my leafy greens. She didn't want to hear it. Then she asked me to tell her what I ate so I told her. She said, " I don't like mangos. " I told her that if she didn't like mangos that she shouldn't eat them. She then said, I like a good steak once in a while. " So, I told her that if she felt the need to eat a steak that she should eat a steak. She said, " it isn't convenient for me to eat that way. " So I told her that if it was inconvenient for her then she shouldn't do it. By the time we finished our conversation she was telling me that she was going to try to incorporate more fruits in her menus. Now, if I had told her that she had to eat this or that because it was better for her and why it was better for her we'd still be arguing about it now; but, because I kept telling her that she didn't have to eat such and such or that she shouldn't if she didn't want to we had a much more pleasant conversation. Then I called my daughter to talk to her and my grandchildren. You could tell that she was on the other end of the phone saying, " who is this woman with all of this energy - she's almost giddy! " We talked a little about what I was eating because she too wanted to know how I lost so many inches . . . and I told her. Again I did the " you don't have to " thing and by the end of our conversation she was going to give the children bananas and papayas instead of the waffles with banana, strawberry jam and peanut butter. In the past she has always told me, " you raised us this way so if it is good enough for me it is good enough for my children. " Pointing out to her that I didn't know then what I know now and I still don't know everything was a little disappointing to her on one level and on another level I sensed some relief. Anyway, I still had some nausea today and I slept most of the morning. By the afternoon I was pulling everything out of the closets and rearranging things, tossing out things I no longer needed (sending to freecycle) and pausing often to say, " who is this woman with all of this energy? " LOL! Sorry for the long post. Donna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
