Being healthy

God wants us to live healthy lives. He wants us to eat the foods He created for us. He gave us animals, vegetables, fruit, grains, etc. He does not want us to eat whatever we crave, stuff that makes us feel good, comfort food. We need to glorify God even with what we consume. He made us in His image, and we are destroying that by eating fast food and soda and all that unhealthy junk out there. 

I've been dealing with health issues, not really sure what is going on, but I get nausea, light-headedness, and stomach problems in general. I've been doing a lot of research lately and the doctors have been testing, but nothing seems to stand out as to what is going on. I have since quit drinking soda and trying to stay away from aspartame, I've been shopping for whole foods like veggies and meats, trying to stay away from boxed foods, and I've been exercising. I also have recently learned that what you eat can alter how you feel. FOOD IS MEDICINE people! You can heal many ailments by what you put in your mouth! And it doesn't have to be pills! 

I am still learning and still failing at times, but my attitude is changing toward food. I'm tired of feeling sick, I want more energy, I want to be able to travel and do all the things I love! I can only do that if I start eating to live instead of living to eat. This is my favorite quote as of late "No food tastes as good as healthy feels." It's true! 

I began a journey this month, and every day is a struggle, but I vow to continue on this journey until I feel better and learn how to eat right and hopefully lose some weight in the process! Time to glorify God with my body!
