I've found that in social situations it's the other people who feel awkward about my lack of ability to eat regular food. Most people are surprised to find that I don't eat "regular" food. It's just not that important to me. There are times where I would love to have a cheeseburger or pizza, but I can't see that happening anytime soon, if ever. I will fight the good fight and keep doing everything I can to regain as much as I can. With that being said, I know I'm healthier now than I was before.......no junk food, no fast food! Never surrender!
