Guest guest Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 PLEASE ................... I am heating up a tofurkey 'sausage' right now that I will eat with vegenaise. We can't all be perfect mb eaters like Ilanit. HI Reggie! I know the macro queen is kidding but I feel I need to address this - I am funny like that - or I can sleep etc! If I have ever represented myself as that I want to apologize. That was not my intention. I don't think I have but if it came across that way, then I do apologize. I have struggled for many many years with dis-ordered eating, eating issues (not an eating disorder), macronerutoics and severely disordered metabilism which has affected my appetite in both direction.s For many years my appetite was out of control with ragingly high blood sugar levels due to type 1 diabetes. One of the main symptoms of uncontrolled diabetes is polyphagia - intense insatiable hunger oncurrent with weight loss. Sounds perfect, huh?! maybe - but not in reality. anyway so including facing the emotional hang ups most teenagers and 20 something gals do around food I was alos complicated by the physiological situation, learning macro completely on my own, being on very strict anti allergy diets before macro etc and being so yang that extreme food choices were my body's cry for help. sure I have learnt a lot and am always approaching balance but I don't want to represent that it has been smoothe sailing becuase that would be a disservice to me and my journey as well as to others who may think that is always an easy journey. I don't think I would change anything about it, but I do like to be as open and honest and clear and forthright exactly about how it is. I feel that so many problems and stagnation in the macro community is de to everyone thinking they have to maintain this aura of perfect and then go and stuff themselves with rice dream pies or donuts in a cupboard. What your esist persists and wat you deny will come back to haunt you in a bigger way. The first step to freedome is acknowledging where you are at - now - and accepting that. Accept it all and embrace ir fully. That gets you to a place where you can make conscious choice and be fully aware of the direction you wish to take a step into. Whenever guiding anyone with dietary choices, writing cookbooks, kids books and other macro adventures it is my aim to break this macroneurotics and imbalances attitude that causes so much guilt, pain and suffering. Although I am still addressing these patterns in my understanding and awarness and don't claim to have arrived, I have noticed some strategies and ways of being that one can address and I always aim to emphasize the spirit of joy and exploration with food. For anyone becoming more aware of their food choices. Fun and enjoyment has ot be healing and cannot be forgotten no matter how dire the situation is that one is addressing. Having a lighthearted attitude about my experiences and sharing them with others when needed and seeing the funny side of it all is helpful. happy cooking!

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2006 Report Share Posted January 14, 2006 How do I type out a raspberry? You know when you stick out your tongue and make that noise? And I thought I was anal You are too cute! I am so weak with foods sometime. I view macrobiotics differently. I mean it's not only a way of eating but a way of life right? So for me I do the best I can know what else is out there. I mean if I eat a rice dream bar and then have a week where I eat one daily I don't freak on myself. I say it's vegan, it's sugar free and sweetened with brown rice syrup I could have made worse choices now what can I eat to balance myself better? I don't know if this is true or not but I was at a Macro event and some ppl looked really freaky (sorry) and I asked Bruce why they look sick or yicky or whatever if they are so strict mb (and I know they are unless they're REALLY hiding it) he said sometimes ppl can get that way from being too strict. Think that's true? Peace, Reg MQ > > > > > PLEASE ................... > > I am heating up a tofurkey 'sausage' right now that I will eat with > > vegenaise.
