Personal Health

There is a change happening in my life. It has been a slow evolution. I, like many 30 something's used to eat whatever I wanted. But my body at some point began to reject that practice. I ate to celebrate, reward, comfort, entertain, socialize, and to relax. Then one day shopping for clothes become embarrassing and my old clothes were just wrong to wear in public.

Change was needed.

First came not eating out as my only form of socialization, activities are fun and better for me. Then I dropped the stressful job and began exercising to deal with stress.

You get the picture...

Well the big change happened in the last 4-6 months. I know food should taste amazing because God created us with tongues, but it also serves a purpose. Food is to fuel the body. Food is not recreation, comfort, or even a reward. Now since this mental switch I have freely changed what I eat. Now my diet is full of whole foods, often raw foods, and the best part is I feel great and am losing my excess weight without much effort.

Personal health has brought peace into my life. Cooking is simpler. Weight loss feels good, and I am healthier.
