Here it is day 2 and I really want a piece of chocolate. So how did I do yesterday? Well I didn't eat the chocolate and I started a 30 day yoga challenge. As I mentioned before I don't think changing a diet is easy. I have been eating the way I do for the past 5 years and I'm expected to completely change it overnight? Not going to happen for me. If I would to look at my diet this way I would be setting myself up for failure. I know a lot of people that are able to just completely change how they do things are never look back. I have tried. Three years ago I started the eat clean diet. I did great for 2 weeks until I went to a party and someone commented that they would never do a diet like that because its too hard. So I gave up. I have tried other times also to dramatically change my diet with the same results. So this time I am doing it slowly. I plan to clean up my diet in 8 weeks and then start to eliminate sugar. In the meantime if you see me eating something you don't think is clean, cut me a little slack.
I am hoping people will join me. Once I get the hang of this blog thing I want to be posting menus and recipes.
The big reason for me changing the way I eat is my depression and anxiety. Where do I begin. I feel like people think it is an easy fix. Just get over it is something I hear a lot. It's not that easy though. There are days that I feel good, I can function and get things done. Other days the only reason I get out of bed is because I know my kids need me. It's hard to explain it to someone who has never experienced it and when they just brush it off it hurts. I'm sad, I'm angry, and I'm scared. I don't know how to stop it. I am trying but it is really hard.
I'm not perfect and I don't want to be. I just want to be me.
