I've come to the realization that I love food and I love the opportunity to share food with others. I used to be like most EVERYONE else. If my mama used lard, i used lard, if my dad always used bacon drippings, I used bacon drippings. I was accustomed like my family of feeling stuffed and moderately ill after one of those meals but...That's what it's supposed to feel like, right? we laugh and joke about the "itis". That's the stories that you were given around the table and at family gatherings. You along with them laughed about how Uncle John ate so much he fell asleep at the table and Aunt Mary had to help him to the sofa and undo his pant button so he could exhale while he slept it off.
Yeah, that was the sign of doing alright. Eating till your stomach capacity had been totally exceeded then going to sleep and waking up to the Peach Cobbler, Apple dumplings, Red Velvet Cake, Sweet Potato pie, Sweet Tea and Morgan David wine.
Yep, those were the days. But you see that's what I knew. Once I moved from home to the Army, I was practically force fed potatoes three times a day. Hash browns for breakfast, french fries for lunch and baked potatoes at dinner. Each meal had three starches and "You got three minutes to wolf it down Private!"
So as a result still I was not provided an opportunity to know or do better in the Army indoctrination program of boot camp. Once I was married and had to prepare meals for my husband and then had a child and had to take that into consideration, I learned more, did better and got healthy. I've been diagnosed with all sorts of things that I was able to handle herbally, nutritionally and thru holistic methods. Through it all I have become a well versed Holistic Practioner that focuses on the Trinity model of heal thyself FIRST.
If you are sick and tired of being sick and tired. Make a CHOICE. Take a CHANCE. Be the CHANGE.
A living food diet is in no way easy after a lifetime of dead things and food like things. but it does have its rewards if it is for you. There is no right way. There is no right time. Start right where you are and take a step in the natural whole food direction.
