Dear little Jenna...I'm talking to you!

Yes, you, that little shy, sugar-hungry, plump little morsel that is 10 year-old Jenna! You are living inside of me still, yes, it's true. I'm sure you've been here all the time dictating certain things, behaviors, and ways of eating because you are scared. But it's okay. We're skinny now! Your child dreams came true, and now it's time to rest. Remember that image you had in your head from a long, long, long, time ago? The one of your future ...

Well I am still here and still raw just don't have the time for myself much anymore. Dad has been spending more and more time in TX which puts me in the position to run both my household and his. I will be going on this next trip at the end of the week for Spring break for 9 days and am freaking out! I have been doing great in my rawness and my Dad's family really do not eat fruit, veggies or anything really healthy. I have always been the odd ball in the family and am a little worried about ...
