My stars, you people have opinions! 41 comments and counting on my “Primal Problems” post and every single one of them well thought out, passionate and informative. And that’s not even counting the incredible number of you who e-mailed me about this. It’s taken me all day to read and process them all in my …
I’m officially halfway done with the Great Primal Experiment. Actually halfway plus ONE. Which is important because I am counting every day on this sucker. I still don’t like eating meat. I still miss my morning oatmeal and dark chocolate. But hey, I’m loving all the veggies and I’m not at all constipated. (What? You …
Photo Credit: Flippin’ Sweet Gear In my life I’ve had many occasions to hear how different women and girls talk about their weight and body image.
