Funny how the mind changes

It feels like my mind has changed and in a good way.  Usually when I start a “diet” or better eating habit, it never ready works out.  I always get cravings, get frustrated cause I am not losing weight, or feel deprived.  I haven’t (so far anyway) felt like that since I have given up meat, eggs, cheese and processed food.

Also I lost like 2 lbs but then gained 1 back (whats up with that?).  Anyway any other time I would get all down on my self (yes, that happens over 1 freaking pound) and totally munch all the next day punishing myself.  But not today.  I know I am eating totally healthy and if I gain or lose, it is because that is what my body needs to do and not cause I deprived myself or overindulged.  Wow, you know, it is so liberating!!

Other then my overall health two things changed the whole way I look at food.  One is the book Skinny Bitch.  This book is both funny and enlightening.  Every bitch needs to read this book.  The other thing is the movie Earthlings.  It will profoundly change the way you eat (it did me).  I just can’t imagine anyone watching it and not be changed by it.

My oldest son questioned me about my new eating habits and I felt he was old enough to know what I know.  I can see him doing what he can when he can, as he is already talking about limiting the meat he eats.  I don’t expect him or anyone in my family to jump on this wagon with me.  Although once I get back to the RV and we all get settled in a routine again I will be cooking much healthier dinners.  As opposed to the processed dinners from a box I normally cooked (egads).  So I believe it is a win, win situation.  My dh is totally supporting me too which is great.  And if he wants a steak (which he loves) then more power to him just don’t bring it around me.

I am feeling great, mind and body and my only intention regarding you my readers, is just sharing my journey with you.
