Life

This new life's journey I'm on is difficult.  Not just because of the food, but because I truly don't feel well.  With the stomach issues that I have, my doctor said that it will take a year to fully heal and several weeks before I start to feel better.

So I have my good days and my bad days.  Today has been a bad day.  Any time I eat or drink anything, I experience excruciating pain.

Therefore, there won't be any food consumed today.  I wish I had some fabulous new recipe for you, but I'm just unable to eat and not at all hungry.

This is what happens when you don't take care of yourself and your body.  I can't stress this enough so I will repeat it.... This is what happens when you don't take care of yourself and your body.

This is not something that just happens to me (although I seem to be prone to illness), it can happen to ANYBODY.  Including YOU.

I'm in this position because of carrying around high amounts of stress AND eating food that isn't good for me.  I now fully understand why others state that your nutrition and the food you consume are important.  Not just for weight loss, but for your overall health.

This illness is very serious, and I've done it to myself.  No amount of donuts or fast food is worth the kind of pain I'm experiencing now.

While I'm fasting today, please take a moment to think about what you're eating today.  Is it giving your body the fuel it needs, or is it leading you to a lifetime of illness?

Don't think that this ONE hamburger or this ONE piece of cheesecake won't hurt.  Because it very may be the straw that breaks the camels back.  In my case, it was one hamburger that tipped me over the edge.

Cheers to our health!
