I just wanted to share what a friend from a health group posted that really struck me.
"We just simply have to look
at what we have and what is being produced in our lives and then make
positive changes. Is it going to be easy? No, but think of this. We were
trained from a child to eat most of what we eat. We have developed an
appetite and a love for the things we eat as adults. Most of this began
in the early years of life. It was all passed on to us from our parents
or caregivers. We can't really blame them but we can take control of the
outcome we want in our lives now and in the lives of those who come
after us. One way to do this is through education.
In spite of
all the knowledge thrown our way, we tend to be trapped in what I call
the battle of "Taste vs Results." We tend to go for the taste and care
very little about the results it will produce in our bodies. We know
some foods are bad for us but they taste so good. We are trapped in the
taste. We can break out of it. We can "wean" ourselves off of the bad
stuff and on to the good stuff. Over time our taste buds will "convert"
to what you want to become a part of your diet. Continuous education
will help you to maintain your commitment to your new changes. This will
take patience and diligence. It can be done. We are stronger than we
recognize."
I just love this and it really struck me.
