The Two Weed Eaters and Me

One Friday morning found me weed eating. There is a lot of weed eating to do around here. I have raised garden beds so my garden area has to be weedeated. Then the fence around the garden and around the front yard, and so on. 

We have 2 weed eaters. My very first weed eater was a Black and Decker. I loved it and used it for quite some time. Then my husband bought a Dewalt Weedeater. And I shyed away from using it. Till one day I had a LOT to get done and the grass had gotten really tall. My husband suggested I use the Dewalt and I tried it and I was hooked. It is much more powerful, and I can get so much more done is a shorter time period. It was well worth getting used to using it. Oh, and I can't forget it's worth the having to wear pants (even in the HOT Texas Summers) because it is so much more powerful that it shoots rocks and such around and they hit my legs. And it really hurts if I am not wearing pants. Sometimes it really hurts with the pants on. 

As I was weed eating, I thought about the difference between the 2 weed eaters. And how I feel so much more powerful not that I am eating a WFPB (whole foods plant based) diet. And how when I ate the SAD (Standard American Diet) I still was able to do things but a lot less and just not as efficiently. 

Going against the grain is challenging sometimes but the difference that I feel now makes it SO very worth it. I would much rather feel like a Dewalt weed eater than be the Black and Decker one I once was.
