What a Difference a Day Can Make!

July 18th, 2008

After an exhausting day on Wednesday, we decided to take Thursday to rejuvenate ourselves with some fun in the sun, cold drinks and plenty of raw fruits and veggies.

THE RESULT: I felt so alive that I had trouble sleeping last night. It must have been all of the live whole foods in Urilife’s The Feast!

I hate admit that I ate absolutely horrible while in Colorado, but I will because I am an honest person. 33 days of bad eating, not good! It was the darn Mexican food I tell ya!

Even though I didn’t gain any weight, I felt miserable. I had no energy, was bloated, and I won’t even begin to tell you about the nasty thoughts that entered my mind each and every time I looked at myself in the mirror.

I recall a friend telling me a while back about an episode on Oprah. Dr. Oz had mentioned that everyone has a drug of choice when it comes to how we handle life’s ups and downs.

If you know anything about me, you know that my drug of choice is food. Whether sad, happy, stressed, excited or bored I turn to food. Well I use to anyway!

After coming to terms with the fact that, yes I have an eating disorder, I made some drastic changes not only to the foods I turned to but more importantly how I looked at myself. Because I now value myself, I have chosen to eat to live, instead of living to eat.

Unfortunately, I do slip up from time to time and when I do the thoughts come seeping their way in as well. But when I do get back on track I feel that much better. I’m excited to be back in the drivers seat when it comes to my family’s nutrition. Eating healthy makes for a healthy business too!

Yours Truly,
