I love all the thought that you put into your line of chocolate: organic, single source, etc. I can't wait to taste it! Sumptuous indeed!

Besides being a fascinating glimpse into how your intention evolved, it showed spunk and courage (especially when safe places beckoned), as well as your intelligent, passionate approach to life and chocolate. I couldn't be happier for you! Sue Ann, you can redefine chocolate-related words anytime — this entire post was sumptuous!

]]> Comment on What Men Really See When They Look at You by Rebecca http://consciousbitesnutrition.com/what-men-really-see-when-they-look-at-you/#comment-380 Rebecca Thu, 12 Jan 2012 17:52:07 +0000 http://consciousbitesnutrition.com/?p=1439#comment-380 Thanks for sharing this. I grew up in a household where my mother loving reminded me to pay attention to what I was eating and how much exercise I was getting from about 11 onward. At 26 I finally told her that if her comments were not joyfully positive about my appearance, I was not interested in hearing them. Jesus has done some major healing to the wounds that are in my heart and our relationship and I can now see that her desire to change me comes straight out of her own loathing of her body (which happens to be very similar to mine). Unfortunately, on top of that, I have been involved in 2 long-term (more than one year) intimate relationships with men who were good men, who I have not doubt love me very much, but who had a real issue with my appearance and the way it did not fit with what they were interested in. Just for the record, I am 5'7", weighed between 195-225 during both relationships, have a muscular curvy figure, have been between a size 14-18 since I graduated from high school, and am in excellent health. While I find articles like this interesting and encouraging, it has not been my experience. I do know it is true, as both of my sisters and my mother are married to men who adore their bodies and love them in all their shapes and sizes (including one post 4 pregnancies and one post 5 pregnancies). While I have grown to have much more gratitude and appreciation for my body, there is still a huge wall there when it comes to men. At 33 it is hard to be hopeful as I see men my age frequently pursuing women significantly my junior with bodies that are obviously younger and fitter. So sorry that this sounds like so much of a downer. I have a rich life that I very much enjoy and intimate relationships that add so much to it. Obviously, though, this is still a heart issue for me.

Through you, I have learned to embrace myself, my meals, my surroundings. I have tried new recipes (nectarine salad being my fav!), juiced my kale in the a.m. and embraced the little things in life - and am grateful for all that has been given to me. I so enjoy your newsletters and blogs and admire how you truly followed your passion. That is MY goal for 2012! Here's to a wonderful year - I am honored to call you "friend" Sue Ann – I am constantly amazed at how you have evolved into who you are as a person right now.

It begins as a list about "you," but it soon becomes "everylist" -- an intrinsic part of all of us -- and I admire you tremendously for that gift. Pardon me, I think your bliss is showing... :) Sue Ann, I’ve read through your list three times and I keep thinking, “How does she DO that?!” It begins as a list about “you,” but it soon becomes “everylist” — an intrinsic part of all of us — and I admire you tremendously for that gift.
