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)
