Your Body, Your Choice

Food is my primary love language. Protein and fats trump carbs in my life. Meat and butter basically hold me up when I’m weak, and comfort me when I’m cold. I remember when I found out I needed surgery to remove my gallbladder in 2011. They scheduled me 31 days out. I almost died. 😭 Doc said ZERO fats until after surgery, cause the processing of the fats would cause all the stones to rush and block the opening of the organ. I lost 20 pounds, super fast. I was also dizzy, thought I would faint every hour of the day, and I felt so weak. I couldn’t think straight, much less capitalize on my weight loss. Hard pass!

You cannot shame me into a vegan lifestyle. Stop acting like those who gave up meat have been delivered. You don’t know half of what’s in your trendy plant-based diet unless you grow it, pick it and prepare it yourself. God said I can consume the beasts of the field and the sea creatures, so until he retracts that privilege, I’m riding with it! Mind your jealous, unhealthy business. You just think skinny is goals.

You think you need to eliminate this or that because of somebody else’s results. You think you should avoid something because of somebody else’s rhetoric. Well I run my own life, so that 31 days and a couple of metabolism quizzes were all I needed to decide my diet. And what you eat don’t make me…you know. So, do your research. Figure out what your metabolism type is and give your body what it needs to run at peak efficiency.

I’m sorry you have HBP and diabetes. I do not. I got menopause though! That bitch…. Anyway, maybe it’s all those starchy veggies and mystery plants you’ve been consuming consistently. Maybe they’ve converted to unhealthy sugars in YOUR body, and perhaps you need more lean meat or high-purine foods to thrive. Your doctor is gonna tell you what they’ve been telling us since elementary school. Ew. Milk does a body good? Well too much makes my joints ache. Can’t trust it. I’m not built like them. I coat my carbs with butter and olive oil so they don’t block my intestinal tract. And since I have no gallbladder to deliver controlled amounts of liver enzymes to my stomach on demand, it’s constantly dumping fat burners, upsetting the balance in my stomach. I gotta keep up. Listen to your body. It absolutely knows what doesn’t work. It purrs like a brand new Tesla when it’s happy.

Happy Monday morning to you! Be well, be positive, and be the absolute best version of you that you can be. Thrive! ✌🏾❤️
