nice quote… words to live by.

i totally agree about the “balance” concept. and in the past i didn’t really care what i ate, nor paid much attention to what i ate.

if anything, raw foods have helped me to pay particular attention to what i eat, when i eat, how much, etc.

when back in the day, even if i was a vegan, i was pigging out on vegan pizza, tons of spaghetti, torpedo sandwiches. and realizing just how hedonistic i actually was and not doing my body, mind and soul any good.

the SAD diet is, in fact, sad…

One of the many many gifts I've received from this lifestyle is the ability to listen to and take my cues from my body. That may seem like second nature to many, but trust me, I spent so many years completely detached from my body that I didn't have a clue. What a blessing to be able to listen and respond to my body when it says, "Uh no, that's enough nuts for now, thank you" or "I need dark leafy greens NOW." :D <i>If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion.</i> ~ The Dalai Lama I agree — balance is key.
