I needed a bit of encouragement today, so I started to think of all the positives I have found so far.
1. Eliminating processed foods is surprisingly the EASIEST part of the whole deal. Buying a buggy full of only fresh produce, raw nuts and seeds, and canned or dry beans makes you feel totally accomplished! Control yourself at the grocery store and you will have no trouble at home.
2. I do like SOME vegetables already, and Alan likes even more. I've also learned that I love spinach salad if it has Dr. Fuhrman's strawberry sesame vinaigrette dressing on it. Alan will eat raw broccoli, celery, and carrots. I can do it by holding my nose and washing every bite down with water.
3. I enjoy the full feeling I have after eating a big salad. I may have to force most of it down, but afterwards it feels 100% worth it. Every time.
4. Alan will try anything I cook once, and a lot of times he likes it more than I do. ...And that smells like a challenge.
Okay! I feel much better about today now. Hopefully this can encourage you as well. Make one meal a major change today and let me know if you have a #3 experience!
