What are you passionate about?
Not vegan. Not vegetarian. Don’t want to eat regular. What can I do?
Navigating the world of food choices can be overwhelming, especially when you’re a foodie. With fake and ultra processed foods dominating more than 70% of any local grocery store, many of us are left concerned with ‘what the hell do I eat?’ Join me by continuing to read how I discovered relating to being a Flexitarian by redefining what my relationship with food looks like. I uncovered the truth behind what’s on our plates and finding a balanced path that doesn’t fit neatly into anyone popular category.
Do you ever find yourself wanting to tone up and not being able to rid those rolls in the back? Have you ever wanted to eat better and purchased a healthy snack bar then found out it’s filled with unhealthy sugars? Have you ever heard the conversation of the older generation in a healthcare setting? If you’ve answered yes to any of this it’s wise to keep reading.
I’ve found it hard to accept the fact that we live in a country where money is more valuable than life. It’s hard to accept the same people who are pro life, are willing to impact those people (men & women) whom would create life. Our weight is a constant reminder on tv, social media, movies, and even the music we listen to. It’s a constant thought that lives in our subconscious but only emerges around the holidays. I struggled with eating bad all day. Although I wanted to do better, I wasn’t willing to just be vegan or vegetarian. I haven’t got there just yet, but I’m on my way to something different.
A few years ago, oblivious to myself, I began to redefine my relationship with food. Sparked by curiosity and desire for better health, I decided I wanted and needed change. Initially, I misunderstood fasting, thinking it was only about abstaining from habits like cursing or eating fried chicken. But as I delved deeper, I discovered the power of intermittent fasting and adopted new dietary practices. Cutting out some meats, processed sugars, and focusing on lean meats/protein with more fruits and vegetables has transformed my life.
For me and many others, the word ‘no’ isn’t often liked. It’s frowned upon. However, I had to be real with myself and capable to tell my own self no. No to overeating, no to processed foods, no to eating out often, no to my favorite candies, and much more. I figured if I didn’t want to have health problems in the future, I’d better start telling myself no.
My journey wasn’t east. Cravings, irritability, and kids walking up to you with their potato chips ~ I WAS TESTED. Over time I found comfort in the process, and it reshaped my mind. I now had discipline and awareness. I felt like I had just discovered life’s hidden treasure. My biggest wake up was seeing my grandmother go from vibrant and full of life to not moving as she once did. I’m a true believer that healthcare starts in the kitchen, not the hospital.
Today, I balance fasting with mindful indulgences, prioritizing fruits and veggies, while being fully aware of what I’m consuming and how it impacts my body. I came upon a 2 Week Fast that was so different than anything I had ever done before. The eating options were so good. It was a challenge but why not when it’s me against me?
I challenge you to change something, anything, about your eating habits. Don’t look at it as a diet ~ just cut certain things out or reduce them. Get active, become a kid again. As scary as it may seem, sometimes you just have to know that YOU’RE WORTH IT.
