Eating Healthy changes everything

-girl who just last week was eating chocolate and bread everyday all the time

So I’ve decided to start eating healthy. I know you don’t believe me, I didn’t believe myself to be honest. Because how do we define eating healthy? Well for me, this is one of the areas where I go to extremes. Because if it involves sugar, or processed foods, let’s label that as very unhealthy. I guess you could call it a caveman diet. And I know this is all the craze right now to eat healthy, but trust me it will change your life. I wish I had known this a long time ago. Since it is summer, and I have all the time to cook and eat how I want to, I figured why not! I am only two days in of eating strictly grains, vegetables, and eggs for meals, and a little bit of peanut or bread here and there. Already – I can’t tell you how amazing I feel. I’m not so worried about everyone else, or trying to please others and my anxiety is significantly reduced. I feel empowered that I am choosing and making what goes into my body. I feel so much more motivated to do the next thing. The biggest bonus out of all of it is that I have linear, coherent thoughts. I am a very emotional person – sometimes this works to my benefit, and other times, when I am attempting to be a functioning human, not so much. I am almost certain I have ADD, and yet eating healthy has allowed me to slow down, and to do the next obvious thing. Which is funny because I thought since I already have an overactive brain, that eating healthy would amplify this. Completely the opposite! It is helping me sleep more, and perhaps this is partly because I am more motivated to busy myself and workout during the day which hence tires me out more. Regardless I know eating healthy calms my crazy nerves and mind down. On top of it – it is surprisingly easy to throw together some very yummy, healthy meals. It did take a bit of frustration and spilling in the beginning, but I can see myself replicating these recipes over and over again, so I’m sure it will become easier.

The hardest part is starting, then once you can maneuver your way through that, a wave of freedom overcomes you 🙂

ps. I will include some recipes soon
