Poor Bastards

Hey everyone. I hope you all are enjoying your warm sunshine and nice weather. Its 20 here and I cant tell where snow ends and the world starts. Its like living in a snow globe....and the devils holding it. Anyways, enough bitching.

I wanted to post this yesterday but I feel its still pretty important. The weekend is here and most of you are going to go running off playing and hanging out with friends. These "friends" probably arent eating paleo. Hell, there probably are a few significant others that arent eating paleo as well. For some of you its going to be tough hanging around these people. Its pretty much true that in a group setting, if a member tries to change the group setting, especially a change that might improve their position over the other members, the other group members may become upset or mad. They will use these emotions to say and do things that cause the other improving member to give up or not succeed. Its sad and it happens. Now not everyone is like this but some people may feel threatened or uncomfortable trying to make these changes and be around people who arent making the same changes. Melissa Byers wrote a really good article about being in such circumstances. Please read it because it makes a lot of sense for someone who may be around non-paleo peoples:
