Today I was on my way to Yoga class and a little bitty bit hungry. Everywhere, there were signs, signs, signs, on all the food joints, in the windows, on the marquis, even staked in the ground out front. Donut shops - I counted two within one block. Lots of sandwich shops, hamburgar joints, quick drive thru mexican food, taco stands, pizza joints, drive-ins, drive-thrus, quick stops, on every block, everywhere you look - signs with these huge VALUES. You can get a LOT of food for your money these days! But what are you really getting? The signs advertise FREE tots with a supersized burger meal, FREE biggie drink with sandwich, $2.99 delux valu meals, FREE frosty wtih combo meal, etc. etc. etc. Oh what to do? What to do?
Easy.
Starve.
No, not really - I almost never starve. I'm almost always hungry! And I eat a lot for my 120 pounds. But I can easily pass these offerings of value right on by. I can wait until I get finished with my yoga class and go home and fix something really special for my lunch. And I can even do it fast if I need to. Something that I'll feel good to eat and will make my body feel good to eat. Something that won't break my pocketbook either.
I used to eat all that stuff. Thirty pounds ago. I used to feel crummy too. Two years ago. I hurt all over and walked like I was 90 years old. I didn't sleep well and even my fat hurt. I was on all sorts of pills. Pills for pain, pills to sleep, pills for anxiety. My doctor put me on a diet. I started reading about food. I went to a B.E.S.T. doctor and he told me to start eating one extra vegetable a day. I didn't even know how to do that. So I drank a V8 juice. Which, by the way, was a really good idea.
So this is your challenge. Start the same way I did. Eat one extra vegetable a day. Maybe you don't eat any vegetables in a day. So adding one will be a huge improvement in your diet. Just do that one thing.
And we'll take it slow from there.
