girl-ish
By Valerie Frost “What are you drinking?! Swamp water?” My coworkers can’t help but comment on the thick, frothy, fluorescent green juice in my glass. “Close, it’s kale juice.” Yes, I’m one of those people, who use perfectly good vegetables and extract only the juice, leaving the dried up remains in the compost. I know many people see the juicing fad as a big fat waste and I completely understand this point of view; however, my experience with juicing has been only positive and dare I say, life altering.
I was a notorious heavy eater from birth; at ten years old I could easily put away an ENTIRE turkey pot pie and a pint of ice cream, easy (not that I would, but I could...and wanted to, but I guess moms and pops gotta eat too). Eating only one plate of food during a meal literally never happened from the ages of 8-17. After struggling with my uncontrollable ID for my entire life, I have finally learned that rather than try to suppress that energy, I can redirect it in a healthy way.
