Today - More delicious than I ever imagined.
I fell off the “eating well” wagon sometime last November. I had traveled to Taiwan to spend time with family and was bound and determined to maintain good eating habits. Now, it’s not the eating habits that are so poor. If I were left to my own accord, I’m sure I would have done just fine. But I am weak when it comes to my Chinese family hoisting food on me from all directions. Plus, let’s not forget that I was in a completely different country encountering food that I can find no where else. So, inevitably, I put on a few extra pounds by the time my one week trip was finished.
My trip was subsequently followed closely by the winter holidays with the customary gorging and sweets. Okay, that sounds bad. Actually I don’t gorge so badly, but I did partake in the festivities. Then, just as I was starting to recover my good eating habits in the new year, I’m struck by an emergency trip back to Taiwan to see my grandmother. You see where this is going, right?
Fast forward to today. Today, I am taking charge again. Today, I am reducing my intake of sugars to natural fruits and sweeteners. Today, I’m committing to eating closer to the earth (more natural, less processed foods). Today, I am setting the intention to eat well and eat often.
Really, there is no excuse for us not to treat our bodies well. Though I imagine that I like it, feeding my body cookies, cakes, fries, ice cream, rich or greasy goodies just doesn’t do my body justice. That craving that I feel, it’s an addiction; the only way my body knows to get the nutrition it wants. Well, no more. Good, clean fuel is what I am putting into my body from today forward and it will taste more delicious than I ever imagined. I promise.
