Chocolate soy milk and raw spinach
Since control is my biggest issue (mentally), I've decided to take control of my second and third biggest issues. I have become disgusted with how lazy I have become and how bad my diet has become (okay, it wasn't great, except when I was overseas). I have made commitments to myself, to God, and to Ezzah to better myself. Since your physical, mental, and spiritual well-being tends to be connected......I figure it won't be easy, as each of these areas needs drastic overhaul; but I know it's possible. I have begun with first cutting caffeine to almost nill. Aside from chai (which I don't drink tons of, especially in the summer) I figure that the idea of also getting rid of sweets will also then take care of soda.....and therefore the caffeine thing will be dealt with. I'm not pretending I will never have a soda or something sweet from here on out...I'm not stupid.....but I know myself, and in order for anything to do any good I have to say "buss" (enough)....it's how I've managed to stop other bad habits. (mostly thanks to getting pregnant!) I have maintained the 'don't bring sweets into the house' rule. I'll not deny wishing I had something sometimes while I'm up late at night, but that's part of the problem isn't it. I've replaced eating cereal for random meals with raw spinach, eggs, and other more healthy foods. I've also begun my road to getting off of dairy. To get used to the taste of soy milk again I've got some chocolate soy milk. Now, I realize that's sweet, but I don't think it will do quite match up to ice cream or some other sweets that I could come up with. Plus, I don't expect I'll just sit down and drink several gallons of chocolate milk down! I don't expect any of this to be easy, but I'm attempting a lifestyle change rather than the latest diet. I've lived as such before, overseas......so I know it's possible. I know my body is not my own, and therefore I need to care for it appropriately.
