Fuck, yeah! Eat the way that optimizes your health. Most people think that means you’ll get to optimal body fat like instantly. At least we get to enjoy the better health while we do whittle down a bit.

I gave up swearing for Lent, but that doesn’t mean I can’t read it.

This problem of people being judgmental of others extends beyond any community; paleo, weight loss, bloggers, etc. I hate to bash my own kind, but women are often petty and dramatic.That may explain why I have no real significant female friendships. Also, I think that when you increase the number of “labels” involved (paleo, weight loss, and women, for example), you’ve got a real finger-pointing good time waiting to happen. Another reason I tend to lurk on the paleo blogs? I’m one of the few fat kids in the paleo pool. I may look like the ancient fertility art lady, but I am just as worthy of eating paleo as anyone else.

You are so very right. It’s like putting on armor. I guess if I didn’t have nagging doubts about myself, these kind of people wouldn’t get to me. There are certain pieces of the armor that are perfect. I’ve been doing this for a while, so I know I’m on the right path. I worry about the people who are so new that they don’t have any of that certainty. They could be scared off and lose out on better health.
Thanks for visiting my blog! You are amazing!!

Thanks! You’re rocking it, too, Phyllis! Did you get a chance to look at Mom’s copy of Make it Paleo?

So true – we all do what’s comfortable/right for us; what gets us results. I guess it’s a continuing process – determining our plan, and weeding out the negative people.

As Coco Chanel said, “I don’t care what you think about me. I don’t think about you at all.”

They’re not worth your mental energy. Hope that doesn’t come across as patronizing! I think they’re scared shitless, frankly. Powerful women who reject cultural conditioning? Yep, that’s pretty freaking terrifying.

Cheers to taking over the world.
