So often when you hear this term you may think of an addict overcoming their addiction, drugs or alcohol are the first that may come to mind but you usually don't think of someone extremely overweight. Since last year when I started this blog I learned a lot about "Eating Clean" but not from drugs or alcohol...from food.
What do I mean, "Eating Clean". I have been on all the diets, you name it I've given it a try and 1 of my most successful times (5 yrs ago) I supplemented my diet with protein shakes & bars. But as you can see here I am back in the same predicament. Now when I think of doing that again I have this conflict in my head. What is causing this conflict??? The knowledge I have acquired about Clean Eating is butting heads with using processed foods to get healthy.
I really am at a point now that I want to be healthy. I want to FEEL GOOD! I am tired of the aches and pains that come from the weight. Thinking about another 'diet' and focusing on my size & the number on the scale stresses me out.
Now when I think about eating healthy, cleaning out my body, feeding my cells, feeding my body, suddenly I feel positive. I feel excited about taking care of me. Who cares what the scale says, if I know my body is being cared for from the inside that seems to relieve the stress of worrying what I look like on the outside. (but guess what, when you take care of the inside, the outside follows)
So what do I do, I need to be informed. I need to educate myself.
I need to make a commitment to MYSELF to take care of ME!
I'm on a path to something better for ME & I can't wait to see how much better I feel. No more 'almosts' or 'do-overs', my health is on the line. Being able to WALK is on the line and I'm not ready at 41 yrs old to give up!
