Tell me about your eggplant salad - I made one 2 weeks ago that turned out really lovely. On the carbs issue - I try to cut down a lot on carbs when I'm dieting ("white carbs" - bread, rice, potatoes, pasta and sugar, not whole grains, fruits, veggies or legumes). I think it helps mainly by cutting out a source of calories that are easy to overdo... I recently read that some of the studies on raw foods have shown that there are certain vitamins that are better available and absorbed by cooking vs raw, putting some big doubts into the raw-food movement. That said, there are some interesting raw food recipies out there (recently saw one for beetroot salad). I'm guessing the truth is where it always is -- moderation! Sounds like you are getting back on track!

You, of course, must know that there's nothing monstrous about you. You're not even terribly overweight, for goodness' sake! The red is quite lovely on you. Why, oh why, do you young women obsess so over your weight, I wonder? I suppose I've been guilty of it myself, but I wish I hadn't. Life is too short to spend it feeling miserable about not being what you think you ought to be. I really think it gets in the way of leading a full and satisfying life altogether. What if, just for say a week - or a month - you focused on everything in your life EXCEPT your weight? What if you acted like you didn't have any issues at all about your weight? What if you just got out and did what you currently feel that only *thin* people do? What if you decided to see all the good things about you that WE see when we read what you have to say about yourself and your life? Thanks for wishing you could send me some sunshine. Seeing your picture was like a little ray of sunshine, so I guess you did send me some without knowing it! Hugs, Z Beautiful wedding pictures, Ini dear.
