Guest guest Posted October 28, 2004 Report Share Posted October 28, 2004 my biggest hurdle with CRON is not the actual food regimen. i enjoy it. eating this way makes me feel better and more energized, generally. it's explaining my choices to my friends and family. for example, i have been vegetarian for half a year now. when my on-off boyfriend found out, he was encouraging at first. but i lived with him for a month, and he was constantly giving me eating advice. don't count calories, just eat "healthy". you can't survive on just vegetables. you need to eat meat. why are you doing this. you need to eat more...etc. i eat about 1200-1600 calories a day which is sufficient for me. when he berades me on the do's and don'ts of eating "right", it breaks my resolve and i find myself eating extra or compromising on my choices to appease him. or i start questioning the thought that i can live a CRON lifestyle. it pisses me off because i shouldn't have to eat to make someone else feel better. i often wish i had a stronger backbone. i encounter similar things with friends. why do people like to tell me how and what i should eat. anyways, how do you deal with this issue? how do you handle people who like to tell you what you should and shouldn't eat? how do you deal with ordering salads, when everyone else around you is gorging? or when you decline to drink and everyone around you urging you to just have a drink? it's exhausting to have to fight off the people i love. newbie, Yongae Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
