Comment on I’m giving up opening jars for Lent by Mom

Before you were born I knew you was going to have an extraordinary heart. The day the word abortion came up, I can honestly say He spoke to my heart saying Edwin is my creation not yours, but he is my gift to you. I knew you were going to find the purpose God had for you. Anyone crossing your path is bless only because you inherit the love of God in your heart. During all this time in my life I have never seen or heard that you have hurt a person just for fun or selfishness. The contrary I know you as the mediator, the counselor, the comfort to friends, strangers, family, specially me. Your actions speaks louder than your words. In all the doubts in my life I have never doubt that God, Almighty hears you. I love you so much you are going to make me cry.

P.S. I still want to win you at Chess one day…

I figure I may as well reply to some of these here…

Emily, it’s not to late you know. I’ve got chocolate waiting for you when you do.

Steven, Thanks for the well wishes – I hope to be motivated enough to keep a firm hand away from temptation.

Now that you’ve got me and Shariff following your blog, I wanted to mention that I am making enchiladas with home made refried beans and home made sauce for the potluck tomorrow! I hope you will try them and tell me what you think! I am always trying to improve my recipes but don’t usually get much feedback as I am only cooking for two and Shariff knows not to complain about my cooking – or else, risk the frying pan!

First, i wish you a lot of luck. Temptation will come from everywhere, such as your wife’s amazing cooking.

I see those veg meatballs; be careful when shopping as many of the veg meats are not quite began. But you can never go wrong with seitan, tofu, or tempeh.

So in a year, are you gonna be back to your high school build?

You’re making me miss being a vegetarian. That very same Trader Joe’s chocolate totally made the difference for me, too.

I will definitely try I out! Most of the time I don’t need any type of dressing. I’m really starting to enjoy the natural flavors of raw food.

Wow, you are making me hungry, especially with the 72% cacao dark chocolate. I made a new dressing that you might like.

squeeze 1/4 of lime with half of orange, mince some fresh cilantro, add olive oil. salt and pepper to taste. I love it specially on the raw spinach.

I hope you like it..

Comment on Morbidly Obese, Exercise, and Veganism by Michelle

Hi Edwin,

You will be hearing this twice because I already posted something similar over at the google pledge group, but as a long-time vegan, YOU inspire me. Just because we came to this diet from two different directions (me from an ethics perspective and you from a wellness perspective), we are both learning from each other simultaneously. You inspire me to get my lazy vegan butt off of the futon and challenge myself with the super-hard yoga video I can’t do (and will never be able to do)! Heck, I can still try.

And yes, I don’t like exercising in public either, things move around and its not pretty! Thank you exercise DVD entrepreneurs! If they had a trade association their motto should be: “Making it possible for the large-chested to exercise in privacy for over three decades!”

Edwin, you rock, you’re awesome, and I know that you will continue to achieve wellness!

This is an awesome Post, way to go! I am also on a similar journey and this is very inspiring because I have fallen off the excercise wagon too Many times. The diet is fabulous though, it really is amazing how easy it has been. Good luck with everything and keep being an inspiration to all of us!
