So I jumped in enthusiastically. I thought:"This is it. I feel like the Lord really sent my rescue boat, and I had to jump in and paddle." I started planning my meals, looking at ingredient lists, and writing down my food. I was very, very excited.
I shed a few tears, and then I realized that I'd had enough rolls, bread, candy, and sugar to last me multiple lifetimes. I'd eaten my share of all of that. Even now, I don't sit and stare at food. I just say:"No, that's not my food. I'm not going to eat that."There are challenging moments, even five years later, when I think:"Oh, maybe I could be a normal eater." But I'm not. And I've owned that. This is how I eat. And it keeps me free and feeling good, and my body feels amazing.
For breakfast, I usually have protein, fruit, and grain. It could be oatmeal with bananas and yogurt, or rice cakes with peanut butter and bananas. I drink a lot of water, unsweetened tea, and sparkling water, which I really enjoy. I still drink coffee, but without sugar, and just a little bit of cream.
My skin is clear and I feel better both physically and mentally. I still experience anxiety because we live in a fast-paced world with many stressors. But I acknowledge it, work through it, and breathe through it.In the past, I used to suppress it and it would always resurface. But now, I confront it, and I move on from it. It doesn't get trapped and muddled up inside me anymore. I've learned to work through my anxious moments.
