Small Changes
For me this
is not about an immediate strict diet change. I want this to be doable for the
rest of my life. I don’t want to work so hard only to find myself thin and in a
year back up at 250. So I am trying to
make small changes every day. Yesterday I changed my big ice cream bowl to a
small cup. I had a salad for lunch instead of a greasy hamburger. Also my
Indian eggplant and sweet potato dinner made me feel great about myself. I ate what
I feel was a very plant rich diet, and that is in line with the Word of Wisdom.
So there I am happy.
I know this
will be a long road, there are so many foods that I love so much and I don’t
think I should have to give up any of them. After all I see plenty of thin
people eating pizza, butter, white rice etc… why can’t I be like them. Maybe
they eat only one piece of pizza when I may eat ½ of a whole pizza. This journey
is about me trying to eat in moderation and add more plants, without using meat
as my main food source. So where there is a little step to be taken I will take
it.
Here are
some small steps I will try this week. Wish me luck.
1. Drinking water
2. Making plant rich meals
3. When having a “bad” food just chill
out a bit (moderation)
