There have been a many occasions where
back in the day I would reach for alcohol
to deal with whatever situation arose and
ruffled my feathers. Anything to calm the
nerves, put the fire of hatred, resentments,
all sorts of human emotions.
After I learned how to stop reaching for
poison to help solve those problems, I
realized that daily life was still nipping
at my heels and needed another vice to
reach for to deal with them.
That next addiction was food. Sure,
what better way to tell them off, get
my way and satisfaction or get even
than to eat my weight in gold with ice cream,
or many other unhealthy foods.
Im glad you are learning how to solve
lifes situations with healthier choices.
I don't know why it has taken me so long
to finally say enough is enough with bad
eating habits. I mean, ive tried countless
times in my life to stop the insanity of eating
foods that are not good for me.
Maybe im realizing that im not getting
younger and unhealthy foods are not
disappearing. As long as the bad foods
are available, folks are gonna eat them
until they wise up, learn or be taught
about the dangers that come with eating
addictions.
So each day I remind myself that there
is a list of good foods I can replace the
bad ones with, make my list and stick to
it. Which means, for me......there is NO more.....
ice cream
fried foods
chips
candy with the exception of a small piece of
organic cacoa chocolate (2 small squares) a day
pizza
fast foods
no dairy
preservative foods
soda
refine white sugar
white foods like white rice, white potatoes
I first went thru the anger of loosing all
those foods and then became wise to the affects
they had on my own body and turn to acceptance.
It's a process to go thru in order to begin
to see the progress of living with a healthy
mind and body.
Keep up the good work...!!!!
