Jessica: loves red meat, bread, fried things, potato chips, chocolate, milk, cheese, eggs, some fruits, some veggies, cokes, and is basically against all things healthy when it comes to food.... I say if you're going to eat it, you'd better enjoy it. :o)
Well, that Jessica is gone. Let me explain....
I've been reading this book called "Skinny Bitch" (forgive the title), and it's really inspired me to be looking at the things I eat and really take into account what goes into making those things, and what could happen to my body if I continue to eat them. Well, my friend, let me tell you... it wouldn't be pretty. I'm also taking a consumer nutrition course at school, so I'm thinking, maybe God's trying to tell me something. :o) And, of course, I don't want to die at age 42 with a weight problem because I didn't try to alter my diet for the better. :o)
Also, I'm going through some spiritual renewal in my walk with God, and it's becoming such a great growth, that I feel the need to use a catharsis to express physically what is going on in my heart. And I'm definitely not glorifying God with my eating habits at the present time, so that's another reason why I feel it's important that I do this. :o)
So, I'm eating all the food I just bought at the grocery store that wouldn't fit into this new diet, so that at least by Ash Wednesday I will be able to start completely over. I want to do a detox program first, to clean out what's already there, so I'm researching good programs to use and how much they cost and such. And I'll be using the Lent season to do the detox.... and if needed, more time than that. :o) Then I'm going to go green. "Organic", "soy", "whole grain", and "vegan" will be words I use often. And not just to describe someone else's diet... :o) Also, I will begin working out on a regular basis (Lord knows there's a lot of land to be run on here).
Thusly, I would LOVE it if you would please pray for me as I start off on this new trail filled with healthiness. I'm going to be weaning myself off the foods that can be eliminated this early in the game, and that includes cokes. That alone is a really serious prayer request. :o) This is going to be tough to fight temptation on, especially with my grandma's homemade cooking seeping into my oh so yearning nostrils. So, yes, please pray. And if you have any suggestions on good organic/vegan foods I can look into (keeping in mind my grocery choices are limited to Albertson's, WalMart, and Target here), I would LOVE some suggestions. Luckily, there is a health food store not five minutes from my house. So YAY!
God is good. And so are veggies. :o)
PS~ I miss every last one of you.
