Wow, this is embarrassing to admit, but I went "off" of my healthy diet and returned to an overly processed, adulterated, junk food, fast food and lots and lots of sugar food diet! UGH!! This always happens to me! I get so excited about changing my life and health and eating better and I stay on this "diet" for a few weeks or months and then I go back to my old unhealthy way of eating. I don't really know why this happens to me. I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that I've eaten unhealthy for most of my life and dramatically changing my eating habits and giving up all the foods that I use to love is very, very hard and a bad habit to break. Even if I know how bad it is for me!
But, the other day I just got fed up again with the way I look, feel and my health problems. I have high blood pressure and have to take pills everyday to control it, and I have constant acid indigestion. I have trouble sleeping at night, I'm sick a lot and I feel like crap most of the time. I said to myself, "Who are you? Who do you want to be? What do you stand for? I love the way I feel about myself when I eat healthy. I feel like I'm doing something important, I'm taking a stand for something! So, I went back to a healthy way of eating again!
It's been 7 days now with no processed, junk or fast food. It wasn't really hard at all. I have to remember to shop for healthy food though. My husband will go to the grocery store and buy anything cheap, no matter how unhealthy it might be. I'm grateful that he shops of course, but I can't eat hardly anything that he buys. So I HAVE to get to a store that sells organic healthy food and then I'm okay once my shelves are stocked with healthy choices.
