Got Food?

I am reading a really good book, it is called Women, Food and God by Geneen Roth. I had heard about the book from one of my friends earlier this year and recently got it from the library. The book talks about our relationship with food and how you can be in charge of that relationship. When I first started reading the book, I wasn't sure if I could relate to what the author was talking about. Then she started talking about being in the moment, being aware of where you and what you are doing. These are words to live by at kung fu, so I kept reading and discovered that there is a different way for me to look at food. I feel like I am in charge now, and I can make the right choices, healthy choices for my mind and my body. I feel like I am free of something that I didn't think that I would ever have any control over. I can make choices that are good for me without feeling like I am making some sort of sacrifice or depriving myself. I used to think that food was a means to punish or reward myself and that is not a healthy way to approach something that you need in order to thrive. I am very excited at this new approach to food and how it will impact my life. I don't think that it will be all roses and sunshine but I am liking the change so far and I am willing to work hard to make it a part of how I live my life.
Until next week, work hard and have fun.
