I've cut out ALL junk food (bye bye Zesty Doritos), all alcohol (bye bye G & Ts) etc. and a plethora of other stuff. Basically anything that didn't moo, cluck, swim or grow directly from the earth hasn't been making it's way into my belly. And portions portions portions... All these years I've been eating portions for three of me. With all this change, I've lost 13 lbs!!! That's 13 of those bricks of butter OR a set of newborn twins - however you want to look at it.
And while this change on my outside has been occurring, there's been a lot of change on the inside too, as I mentioned. Determined to stick to my guns and stay disciplined in getting healthier, it's really forced to me to examine my relationship with food... How I deal with stress... How I reward myself... What I do when I'm bored or not engaged... My whole life has revolved around food in some capacity and while I'm no where near clear of any bad food habits or thoughts, I am doing well and I am staying on path... I am determined to grow a better and healthier body and mind.
As William Shakespeare put it, "Our bodies are our gardens – our wills are our gardeners.”
