When the heck did I start eating carrots?..and other musings.XPOST
Carrots, my most hated of enemies. We are foes, carrot, you and I. Since I slipped you under the table into my napkin as a child, to pushing you to the very side of my plate as an adult..You did not belong in my life.
Today I find myself sitting by the window, looking out onto the Caribbean Sea. Happily munching on hard boiled egg whites, Ital vegan cornbread, hummus...and you..my most feared of enemy..the baby carrot..
So today, I happily ate carrots. I also ran my fastest 1 mile, without stopping. Firsts for me.
2 years ago, I would have said neither could have ever happened. Today, things have changed.
The point of my ramble? Never say never, never say it isnt possible, you are LIMITLESS. You are an unended story, you can write your own scenes. In the word's of a tattoo on my friend Tristan, "IMPOSSIBLE IS NOTHING".
Things take time, but you will get there. Even when the road is tough!! its not a sprint, this is a marathon.
Did I ever think I would be healthy again? Did I ever think I would be happy eating healthy foods? Did I ever think I could run, run a mile, run a mile without stopping. I never thought I would be doing those things..
And here we are.
Anything is possible! Now, pass the carrots!

You crack me up! I too am a sworn enemy of carrots...when I was little and the doctor told me that I should eat them to help my eyesight I swore to him that I'd rather have coke bottle glasses all of my life! LOLOLOLOLOLOL! (Thankfully I do NOT have to endure those but still).
Maybe one day I will also become a fan of the raw carrot (I find that they are OK if they are cooked to like a mushy consistency...usually in soup or stew but raw...NOT happening). But that day is NOT today! HA!
Thanks for the inspirational post! Someday I too will make peace with the carrot...(and the brussel sprout, and the okra, well...maybe not the okra...yuck!)
