Raw food and family

Day two with no overt fat! When I made the challenge I completely forgot that I was going to a family get together, full of sceptics might I add. Questions like 'where do you get your protein?' abound!

So, I just had a large plate full of fruit instead of my usual fatty salad that I thought my family would find more impressive. But no, compliments came in thick and fast for the fruit! Everybody loves the look of fruit (no suprise, it is our natural food!).

There was a rather tense conversation at the dinner table about vegetarianism. Some people are not that bright let me tell you. You say you're vegan and then they ask you if you eat pork!

So many people ask me if I eat bread after I tell them I don't eat any cooked food is laughable. Some times you have to laugh at it otherwise you'll cry instead!

Anyway, I did okay and luckly my mum fended them off. My uncle complained that vegetarian restaurants don't give a meat option! Well obviously! Thats because its specialist and made for people who don't want meat on the premises, let alone in the menu! Thats like going to a church and asking them where their statue of Mohammed is!

Anyway, enough of my ranting. At least people are quite impressed to see that I haven't died yet, that I've lost weight and yes, I have plently of energy thank you very much!

Top tip: don't argue about your food choices to friends or relatives, just lead by example.

Wishing you a merry social life,

Sofia
