So I keep getting compliments lately. It's all due to raw, so thought I'd share:
1 - There's this friend I have that I've known since high school. We kind of come in and out of eachother's lives, hanging out for a few months every 2-3 years. Anyway, he told me this week that I look better now than I did in high school - this is the best he's ever seen me, in fact. !!
2 - Our sweet little bartender at work asked me tonight, "hey, what size pants do you wear now, anyway? 4?" !!! I said, no way, these are 10's, are you kidding? She didn't believe me, then finally chalked it up to my being tall.
3 - This really sweet gay couple that come in pretty regularly to the restaurant just went gaga over me tonight, said my goodness, you've really lost weight and look wonderful. I kind of whispered to them why that was, and the one guy brightened up, and shared the story of a dear, dear friend of his in San Francisco who got AIDS. Though he eventually died from it (at the age of 30!), he said that the only way he survived as long as he did was because of his raw food diet - he was so convinced that the only way to deal with AIDS was by going raw, that he actually wrote a book about it, and gave it to his friend, my customer. He's been sitting on the manuscript for years, he said. I told him that I thought now might be the perfect time to get it published, as Raw is starting to get more mainstream. I think he just might do it!!
Isn't that cool?! Yay, raw.
