Genius that I am decided the week of Valentine’s Day to
start eating clean and cut sugar out of my diet. I know! Valentine’s Day! But
so far it’s been going okay. I found a program that I like and have been able
to stick to it.
Now, this isn’t the first time I’ve tried to live a healthier
lifestyle, and for the most part I do okay. But I am a stress eater. I do recognize
what I’m doing when I reach for that third handful of gummy bears and stop
myself before I grab a fourth. But the
fact that I reach for them at all was starting to become more frequent. So it
was time to take a more active stand on my diet.
I know there are many of you out there, hundreds, thousands,
who are doing or contemplating watching what they eat. For those who are
struggling, keep on trucking. You can do it. I know you can! For personal
reasons, I will not say what specific plan I use, but basically it’s clean
eating. Organic, nothing processed, lean proteins, fruits and vegetables. You know,
the way people ate before food came pre-packaged in a box.
My goal isn’t to lose weight, although we all know that is a
nice bonus, but to be healthy. Avoid cancer-causing agents, remove those free
radicals. If I’m going to keep telling people I’m 24, I’m going to have to do
everything I can to maintain the illusion.
As we approach that time of year when Cadbury Eggs and
Starburst Jelly Beans are within arm’s reach, know that I am there with you
feeling your pain. I am there with you when you say no to the ginger whiskey on
Wednesday because you are saving your free day for the weekend. I am there with
you in spirit as I know you are with me.
Crunch on with your crudité, my friends. Crunch on and stay
strong!
Until next time-
