358 Days To Go...No Worries

     Today is a good day. I am eating less and making better choices. My husband is a huge encouragement and support to me. This morning we read an article. It was about, how when you worry it doesn't add to your life, but it takes away from life. So I am telling myself not to worry. When I catch myself in worry mode, I remind myself about the promises I believe in. That does not mean life is perfect, but simply I chose to trust my God through it All.
     Some people eat when they are sad, some eat when bored or upset. I have discovered I want to eat all the time. If I am happy, I want to celebrate. Celebrate implies food! If bored, why not get a little something to nibble on, and of course if a bit down, the all knowing comfort food to ease away those pesky rainy days.
    Solution. Turn my foodie obsession into something constructive! I love food and whats more, I desire to be a help and teach others how to eat healthy on a humble budget. It can be done, I am learning more and more how to do this, example, a bag of apples for 1.30 over a bag of Doritos for 1.95. Even more so, I would love to cook and feed the world. There is something wonderful about cooking for people and seeing them enjoying a good meal.
    I shared earlier how I quit smoking, but you can't quit food. One does need sustenance to survive and what's more food is culture, tradition, fellowship, family time and on and on. So much of who we are as people revolves around food. It boils down to a daily, even hourly choice. Over and over one must simply choose consistently the right foods to nibble on and the right portions. I am determined to gain the self control to push the plate away after eating the proper amount. No more or no less. No fads here, just right choices. Today is a good day, right choices and no worries.
