The reason I would like to start a blog is so my family and I can track our progress along the way. Our hope is the have other families give advice and for us to give advice to other families as well. I do believe this is a big journey or self discovery and learning new life style changes. We are both 35 years old and have 2 boys ages 14 and 10. I have always wanted to b healthy. I love whole natural food! But I also love brownies, cookies, wine, pasta, bread, cake. Is it possible to give these items up? Not sure at the moment. I feel that the best thing to do is focus on adding more whole fruits and veggies to your diet as you can. In time you will want to get rid of processed foods. That is my hope. I want to have a long healthy life! We do not have any real serious illness but I do have a few concerns. Last week I was told I have vitiligo which is a skinwhite patches that feel like normal condition in which there is loss of pigment (color) from areas of skin, resulting in irregular skin patches. I also have in the past taking medicine for depression and anxiety. I am also looking for alternative ways to feel happier without medicine.
There is no known cause of this skin disease but has been some mention of stress or immune issues. This has definitely pushed me closer to wanting to eat healthy and make the best choices I can for my health instead of my desires or cravings. In my posts I will be recording what I ate for the day, or what juice I have juiced, or what kind of exercising I did. Also any interesting facts I will be adding on here that may help others.

You do not have to give up everything. If you try to do that, you may not succeed at what you are trying. The trick is moderation. Once in awhile single serving treat goes along way :0) Good Luck!!! Never doubt the power a Mother has to change years of habits!!
ReplyDeleteI will never give up everything :) unless I medically had too! I just want to start eating more whole foods. Live foods with lots of energy!
