Am I weird? Taking good care of myself makes me high. I’m serious! It must be because I do our Delicious Detox 2x a year and I actually know what it feels like to reach that level of feeling great that most people don’t ever experience. It’s like an athlete must feel when they get into “the zone” or that high a drug addict always wants to reach. Soo…I always strive to get back to that feeling when I stray from my usual healthy fare and start eating what the typical American eats and then rationalize why that’s okay…Ex: emotional support foods – “I deserve this..had a hard day…blah blah”. I eat out, I snack on junk and foods Im sensitive/allergic to, I enjoy it for awhile. Then, my general quality of life starts to deteriorate. Most people are okay with feeling like this because they think it is perfectly normal. They’re used to it. When I get there I become whiny about minor symptoms that show up again and especially notice the bloating and loss of energy. This tells me to “steer on back home, Randi. Remember how it feels over here?” Remember how good it is when you honor your health and know that you are not going to age like the average American – inside or out?! See, eating/exercising well means that you are setting up a very different future that can prevent or greatly reduce prescription usage, doctor visits, hospital stays, surgeries, huge medical bills and just feeling badly.
Those excuses we all make when we choose to eat crappy food…it’s just that part of the brain that will always try to derail us. See it for what it is – it ain’t goin away and it also ain’t the REAL you! Gently nudge it off your shoulder and come on over to the wellness side, love! It feels so darn gooooood over here.
