We started our journey of cutting out sugar, dairy, and gluten in January of 2018. There is a YouTube video on the story behind that. In the year and a half, it has helped so much with anxiety, fatigue, stomach pain and so much more. Then why do I struggle so much still? It's not normal that's why. Yesterday we spent the day at the water park with our kid's friends. We packed a cooler full of food that fits into the whole30 category and we stayed on top of it all day but today I just want an M&M blizzard! Not even my usual mini I want a LARGE!!! Really I need to learn to deal with this but it doesn't seem to get easier with time. To be completely honest some times its harder because you think oh our friends know that we eat this way. In the end,
it gets harder to hear everyone say "I couldn't do it." Then you think twice "Can I really do this any longer?" The whole thing gets in your head and you think well no one else cares what they eat why are we trying to do this but I happen to get some sugar the other day by accident and wow the emotional rollercoaster it sent me on was outrageous.
Eating healthy is not just for looks it's not just to be better than the next guy it's to know what isn't good for you emotionally, physically or spiritually. I have changed in all three of those aspects in the past year and a half.
God has to lead me to amazing people and helped me find a new lifestyle that truly has been a blessing that as I write this post I grew thankful for this way of life thankful for the healing and thankful for those of you who are new in my life because of the journey. Really, in the end, it has been much more about the journey than the food.
My God leads you on a journey of blessings in a way that helps you heal physically, spiritually and emotionally.
