Thank you, Laura MJ. I know what you mean about being halfway across the world. At times we are thousands of miles away from each other. Sometimes that lasts months and more. During those times I have been able to may vast positive transitions for my diet health or for other issues.  When we are in close proximity again some of the things keep, sometimes not as much. 

Looking at what you said about heroes, I think one of the problems is that I may look like a hero, and he doesn't want me to have that kind of attention, he wants that for himself..in other arenas.. and as he said recently to me..have me all to himself.  Thank you. This may key me in on what to say to him on our next shopping trip getting my first case of bananas. I think it will definitely get me the bananas..but will he strike back some other way? Doesn't matter. 

Have a great weekend!

RawZi, that's gotta be tough. I left my guy in Australia and I'm now halfway across the world in Canada, so I can buy/eat whatever I like without it being an issue. I am a tiny bit nervous to see how he reacts when we reunite (in about one month).

I usually don't care what strangers think of me. I wouldn't judge another shopper for loading up on fruit, but I have to admit that I always check out what people have in their carts, and sometimes judge their choices or worry about their health. I hate seeing parents buying junk food for their children. 

I hate that unhealthy is the norm. Who cares about normal? Normal gets you nowhere.

I just got back from my first produce run since Ive joined. My guy dislikes me getting anything raw that's different. We got dates bananas mangoes berries nectarines pluots etc but he said no way was I getting a case of bananas etc. I don't understand why people are embarrassed by their mates food choices etc. We have to keep supporting each other on the raw food forums. Friends off the diet may want us eating unhealthy things mostly cause it looks "normal" to.

Laura, you are not alone I buy 40+ at a time, unfortunately the cheapest place I can get them you have to get them weighed individually, fellow shoppers think I'm a whack job...I'm kinda used to it.I have been ridiculed by my fellow work mates for about the last 6+ months, and it's hard enough to make healthy changes to your diet! Don't give up on yourself ;)
