I was in the middle of a very stressful situation tonight and was not
going to let it get me down or upset.
As I walked away from the situation, I put a big smile on my face and
wow, I could not believe it.
Inside I was not upset. I was calm. I did not react back the way I used
to.
Each time it happened, I would turn away from the person and just put a
smile on.
It worked! So incredibly well. It's amazing
Is this a side benefit of being raw??
Could have all my emotions intertwined with what I was going through
have been emotional detox? (I read that somewhere on the boards)
Wow! I feel like a new person and in a new place!
It is great.
I would hear people say more than the weight loss I have these benefits.
Well, for me I was always so concerned about the weight loss...the
other stuff would come later. LOL
Now, I can honestly say, the weight loss will come when it comes. But,
I am so excited and pumped that I made it over this HUGE speedbump that
has been in my life for years!
It's such a great feeling to realize that I wasted no energy getting
upset.
To me this is a big step in personal growth!!

Pam,
Congrats!! Isn't it nice? I have noticed this too. I am far more calm than I used to be.
<<It's such a great feeling to realize that I wasted no energy getting

It really is quite liberating, isn't it? No wasted energy or wasted time!

vegggeeemom,
YOU are doing so very good with RAW.
I am so impressed.
YES, this is indeed a benefit of being raw, you just know in your heart that you are doing the very best for your body, and your health.
And others are noticing this too.
YOU RAWK!!!, how marvelous for you, to be in your inner calm when you would have normally, been upset. keep up the great work, you are doing so very well.

vegggeeemom, that's wonderful
It's probably a side effect of turning over a new leaf.
It really is a waste of your self to engage pettiness (is anything more pathetic and sad than a petty person??).
I tend to look at these type of people with pity...You did the right thing! It not only makes you feel better, but it just may get a signal to that person :)
When it's the most difficult to turn away, it is the most rewarding.
Best,
