I could tell we are from the same stock from the way you described things. And I feel silly for saying "Russian" when I meant Ukranian--can you tell I grew up during the Cold War? So Hungarian and Ukranian, that's what I meant. From Odessa and Szeged to be exact.

I've always had the issue of keeping weight on due to my digestive issues and when I go through any cleansing diet i get comments such as "you're so skinny - are you ok? You need to eat more or you need to get weight!". I even had one woman say to me that I looked gaunt! In my mind that is so offensive! I can honestly say I'm not looking forward to the cleansing (Sue Fowlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10594144006836759778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3134388583327375652.post-40115055841569415482011-04-19T20:39:51.516-07:002011-04-19T20:39:51.516-07:00Sierra, thank you for taking the time to share tha...Sierra, thank you for taking the time to share that.

You can ead back through the posts from this week if you want to get oriented to my take on the Intro progression. <br /><br />You may lose weight, and you may gain it later, but it all seems to reach an equilibrium. There's nothing like giving up "trigger foods" to make us rebalance!<br /><br Justine Raphaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06080520616574103086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3134388583327375652.post-74515622555618535072011-04-19T13:35:38.027-07:002011-04-19T13:35:38.027-07:00Hi, I just found your blog while looking for GAPS ...Hi, I just found your blog while looking for GAPS blogs. We're just about to start. I really loved this post a lot and it's an issue that I've pondered as we venture into the GAPS diet. I know I'll lose quite a bit of weight to begin with and fear the looks of disapproval from others as they wonder what kinda "crazy diet" I'm on.Lolahttp://www.nearerstillnearer.squarespace.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3134388583327375652.post-68874423580664719712011-04-19T11:04:48.415-07:002011-04-19T11:04:48.415-07:00I am so glad that you really "got" what ...I am so glad that you really "got" what I was saying! I don't want to offend anyone, but sometimes I have to be outspoken. <br /><br />By the way, it sounds like we are built similarly. I weigh well over what people think I do, and the number is way high on any chart for my height. But I look well-proportioned, because I am muscular (I grew up dancing...) Maybe a shared ancestry?

I'm a funny one: I weigh ...Cool post, Justine!<br /><br />I'm a funny one: I weigh more than most people would guess me to. I apparently "look" 20-25 pounds lighter than I actually am. Even doctors will weigh me twice in their confusion between what they see on me and what they see on the scale. <br /><br />This is the weight at which I feel strong and healthy, happy and energetic.
