What started out for me as a low carb style of eating has become more flexible in terms of personal preferences for fruits (rather than grains) and amounts. I like to remain open, to experiment and to follow my intuition. More than a change in eating, I have drifted toward a change in thinking and feeling and attending to what's happening to me in terms of my shifting states or forms of consciousness--a weird thing to explain to folks who ask me "so, how did you lose all that weight?" I kind of hate that i shrug and say, "Diet and exercise" because that's so shallow and completely misleading. If I were to answer, "I've had to change the way I think and experience almost everything about reality," well, that would be the set-up for a conversation that 99 times out of 100 would go no where. Fast. Plus I don't think my experience can predict anyone else's experience. I support FA and HEAS, but I also support people's choices to experiment with moving towards increased emancipation--for some people that will result in learning to love and accept their current weight or a higher weight, for instance. For me it has thus far apparently resulted in weight loss and discovery of a MUCH larger inner self--like removing censorship of my mind...Not often a pretty sight, and not for everyone to witness or attempt.hopefulandfreehttp://hopefulandfree.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2421007530617008911.post-15724581684296824052011-07-19T00:23:15.555-04:002011-07-19T00:23:15.555-04:00Well, of course not.

I'm not comfortable with any kind of fundie, whether religious, nutritious, or anything else, even if we share the same views. You might enjoy a recent blog post on Body Recomposition, I'd post the link but it would likely get blocked, but it was wrt embracing the middle, and how many people are so loathe to do it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2421007530617008911.post-24120403312039390002011-07-18T15:12:19.099-04:002011-07-18T15:12:19.099-04:00Nice to hear from you, Sean and Val.

Very interesting. And I certainly agree there is no single right answer for everyone. <br /><br />In reading blogs I have come across many who insist there is only "ONE WAY" that will work for everyone. I enjoy reading them anyway, because I am fascinated by people who have very strong opinions.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2421007530617008911.post-88292129481243295492011-07-18T08:39:37.848-04:002011-07-18T08:39:37.848-04:00There was a time when I was a very stubborn closed...There was a time when I was a very stubborn closed minded individual---thinking that my way WAS the way. But I've been schooled--enlightened--given an enhanced understanding of the various elements that contribute to individual people---and my conclusion is very different than even a year ago. We each have different habits, behaviors, struggles, history, psychology---so, it's only natural to realize---what works for me, may not be something another could navigate. We're each unique---bound by our individual truths---and we each must confront our own truths in whatever way will set us free.Sean Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07973189725254566966noreply@blogger.com
