If I want the torture of forcing myself to eat grass fed meat, eggs, fishies, butter, fruits and veggies, then I'm the only one to blame ;) Aaronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09275904600914903273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4456136493471617753.post-77456441841471734382012-10-13T19:11:25.549-07:002012-10-13T19:11:25.549-07:00That's awesome that your mom's on board. I...That's awesome that your mom's on board. I'm grateful that both my parents hopped on the paleo bandwagon right along with me. I can't imaging having to watch them eat stuff that I knew was bad for them.<br /><br />This stood out for me in your mom's post: "can't you go off your diet once in a while". Seems like sometimes it feels like I'd be eating or drinking something to make other people happy. They just don't get it, they think that I'm suffering or something. But their insistence to "just try a bite, it won't kill ya" makes me think that it bothers them in some way that I'm eating clean and they're not. I feel that I'd be eating the crap for them, to make them feel better about themselves, rather than for me. No thanks!

Giving up grain was rather difficult, but feeling so much better - constant energy, no more sleepiness after dinner - made it worthwhile. As my body became adjusted to not having grain I found that the occasional lapse would give me digestive upsets and a sleepless night. Most of the time, eating grain is not worth the consequences. BUT, if you put a loaf of Boudin sourdough bread in front of me, I might accept a sleepless night :)Aaronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09275904600914903273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4456136493471617753.post-53611037077136876852012-10-04T12:48:35.085-07:002012-10-04T12:48:35.085-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Aaronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09275904600914903273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4456136493471617753.post-30018252044286331092012-10-02T18:06:24.812-07:002012-10-02T18:06:24.812-07:00That's gotta be hard to see.

I'd still love her unconditionally, but knowing what I know, it would be hard to see.<br /><br />And a question for you Mom. You say that giving up grains wasn't extremely difficult for you. I do remember hearing 'I could never give up bread' more than a few times though. You liked bread so much that one year I sent you that sourdough sampler package from Boudin in San Fransisco.<br /><br />So was giving it up a matter of wrapping your head around it not being healthy, or that it causes you distress if you eat it? Or something else?Aaronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09275904600914903273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4456136493471617753.post-6456155818603392962012-10-02T16:04:53.121-07:002012-10-02T16:04:53.121-07:00Nice job motivating Mama Aspen Paleo.
