Going Green
Not in the environmental sense…though I am also passionate about recycling. That’s another blog. Right now I’m talking veggies.
Due to some nagging health problems, I’ve decided to get my act together and start eating right again. I’m on the ETL (Eat to Live) board for good, and I’m going to really stick with it this time. Health problems = I have not been digesting my food properly for about 4 months (IBS symptoms), I recently had a week long headache and I’ve put on 20 pounds that are just sitting there like a spare tire around my gut. I hide it well, but tires belong on cars, not people.
I’m always amazed at how quickly my body reacts to good food. Maybe because I’ve fallen off the wagon and gotten back on so many times, I’m starting to recognize the process. I’m not scared by the detox which usually lasts a couple of days. Within a week, I’m already starting to feel like a new person. Yipeeeee!
Kudos to all the folks on the ETL board. If you happened to click on my blog and found your way here, thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!! Thanks for being willing to try something different, swim upstream, be the odd man out. Thanks for all your wisdom, determination, ideas, encouraging comments and compassion. I cannot continue to do this without you. I am resolved to never again try to be tough and go it alone, in this or anything else in life. We were created to live in community and help each other. People criticize the internet because they think it is impersonal, but isn’t it interesting that with all the technological things we could build, humans choose to create things that send them right back to connecting with each other.
