Soooo with that being said, let me tell you all about what has been going on. I am still learning about food and also my relationship to it. Hi my name is Betrice and I am a food addict! Yes you heard that right. I am a food addict. I am dancing with my addiction to food right now on such a deep level. I have experienced both sides of the spectrums. Well, not completely, I know for sure that when I was eating the worst... fried, junk, processed, etc, my health was in serious jeopardy. Diabetes, High Blood pressure, Ulcers, Sciatica, Fibroids, Asthma, Allergies and the list goes on and on. I have gone from having to take nearly 20 different medications to now only having my inhaler. I am very grateful. Now, I struggle with staying on the path of eating healthy. I am on my journey of becoming vegan. I have such a struggle with not only processed food but chicken in particular. I had to get real with myself and admit that there is a problem. I have been in this way of unhealthy living for all of my life. I get to be patient and loving with myself through this process. I want to be conscious of not being so hard on myself each time that there is a breakdown.
The critically acclaimed documentary "What the Health" has also been a very intricate "eye-opening" tool especially as it relates to the affects of chicken as it relates to diabetes and overall health.
To come to the realization that food consumes so much of my life. Even more so than I actually consume food. My trigger foods in addition to chicken are chips and fried foods. My will to persevere is greater than my slip ups. I got this!
I feel that through meditation, consistent exercise, continued studies and reprogramming that I will definitely overcome this addiction to food.
