I startted exercising and cut out soda completey. To this day I don't touch the stuff! I try to eat organic when possible but I've heard many, many comments like, 'oh c'mon, live a little'!-in reference to eating out at a restaurant because I wouldn't order the greasy mozzerella sticks! I'm not so uptight that I NEVER splurge but for the most part I eat healthfully. Why can't more people just accept that? I've lost 40+ lbs and kept it off so I'm not going to ruin my hard work because of some comments.Amy Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06499266982231920563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6178855935324054085.post-51193307592994870392011-05-28T13:07:03.496-04:002011-05-28T13:07:03.496-04:00The exercise lifestyle and the organic eating life...The exercise lifestyle and the organic eating lifestyle are two challenging roads. The exercise piece has been easy for my husband and I as we were athletes in high school. My parents exercise also to stay in shape. The organic piece has been difficult. My husband supports me partially in this effort, but not 100%. Although I did only start about 8 months ago. :) Our parents are even farther from the support. I hope that when we are blessed with children, that they won't look at me like I'm crazy for natural parenting and everything that goes along with that. Thank you for the support of your blog and the natural product giveaways!kmogilevskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15440316457514590617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6178855935324054085.post-12583149143804212482011-05-27T13:54:25.068-04:002011-05-27T13:54:25.068-04:00Thanks, Cara, for being so honest here.

When we get real with ourselves, we have an easier time sticking by our convictions. It doesn't mean we have to judge others for their choices. Everyone has to make their own way in the world! By the way, I have been "Liking" on FB like crazy after your RevAbs email. Hope you are well and can't wait for your next product review on "The Way of the Toddler Hour."Leta Hamiltonhttp://www.letahamilton.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6178855935324054085.post-40995082309373711862011-05-27T11:00:02.626-04:002011-05-27T11:00:02.626-04:00I don't know that I've ever received negat...I don't know that I've ever received negative comments about my healthful efforts, but it's hard to explain to people why you don't exercise *as much* when you have a chronic codition like FMS. Healthy, for me, is different than your average healthy, so a healthy amount of exercise is different, too. On the flip side, doctors look at me like I'm nuts when I say that I'd rather manage pain, anxiety and fatigue with the occasional medication for really rough times, rather than a daily medication. It's a foreign concept to them, because most people would rather rely on the daily meds. I've always stuck with the notion that I know my body better than anyone, and it's my responsibility to treat it the way it needs to be treated. (I love the umbrella analogy!)Chelseahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03311861424710606795noreply@blogger.com
