Sometimes you just have to eat the cake. You know it will make you feel like shit, but in the sweet seconds of that first heavenly bite when a thousand tastebuds rave, your jaw pinches just below your ears, your eyes close reverently and lips slowly curl up in a smile, you simply don’t care.
Twenty minutes later you get the shakes and want to vomit.
After seven months of eating healthy, clean, organic and plant based, my body reacts to processed food viscerally. I’m humbled and amazed at how far I’ve come—at how much I’ve grown—spiritually speaking, mind you, my mid-section is much smaller. ☺️
Eating has become mindful, intentional, every meal an act of gratitude. I’m especially grateful when my body reminds me that despite the deliciousness of the occasional decadent treat, it will result in almost instant regret. Was it worth it? Ummmm, hell yeah it was—balance, it’s all about balance. Don’t beat yourself up. Every moment is an opportunity to start anew.
Today, give me the berries, yogurt, nuts and honey! Life is good.
I hope you all are well. ♥️
