Hubby and I are on day 4 of our whole foods cleanse and lunch was a veggie roll (rolled by my sister @ghiapearl , thank you seeester!) and salad with all kinds of stuff.
I ate modestly healthy last year...sometimes 50/50, sometimes 70/30, and other times 30/70 if I’m being honest.
The beginning of last year, my main focus was STAYING ALIVE since some of you know my physical and mental health crashed, and with my depression and anxiety, I found myself struggling with suicide again.
So yes, I did eat the treats, even though I knew it would negatively impact my conditions, including my depression.
But the temporary comfort got me by.
And I needed to save my mental capacity to soak in what I was hearing from my intensive treatment program, faith support and family, etc.
I didn’t use it for meal prepping and following plans.
And as you know when you get used to things, habits form and that carried over even after I was in a better place. (Although there were still some things I wanted to prioritize first.)
This year, we knew it was time to make eating healthier and being more intentional with our treats a must again.
Hubby and I were ready and my body was obviously negatively reacting to the accumulation of it all.
So know that however your journey looks with health and food, know that this moment, if you want to, you can make a decision to change things up.
Even with being in pain, I feel healthier already!
17 more days to go!
