I'm sitting here drinking lemon water, with a peeled grapefruit beside me, enjoying it's fragrance too much to eat it yet! It's so tantalizing, so sweet & tangy, & will be so juicy, (remembering the one i ate yesterday!) & satisfying!
I so appreciate the way our bodies were created to resonate with the whole, raw, REAL foods God created for us to be nourished & satisfied on! The junk food may please our taste buds (until they've been re-educated, then they, too, begin to discern & reject the garbage, as our tummies soon learn to!) but the price paid is sooooo not worth it!
One of my biggest regrets in life is that i didn't continue to do what i knew to do with my daughter nutritionally...after the first 3 years of almost 100% organic, lotsa juicing, raw, & healthy food, once she weaned, more & more of the junk crept into our diets....cuz i wasn't nursing anymore, & 'didn't have to watch what i ate!' (& of course, gained more weight, ate more junk, & returned to my chocolate obsession...*sigh*...)
Now she, too, struggles with cravings, & fighting her junk food tendancies, knowing how much better she feels on LIVE foods, but used to the deceiving ones that tell us that taste is all that matters!!!
I never want her struggles to result in obesity, as mine have! I know my decision to get healthy is as much for her sake as mine!
Help us, Father, to be willing to endure the stress of going through withdrawal & cravings to reach the other side, to return to a place where we happily prefer & choose what You've so lovingly given us for food!
~Amen~
