another day almost over with! sunday is fast approaching....weigh in day! i had my usual for breakfast, lunch and dinner! doing very good too but i sure can't believe it myself! wow!
have you ever noticed how hard to is to eat proper portion size's and healthy foods? it's so easy to just eat what you want....whenever you want...and how much you want! but...it's so hard to eat healthy and watch how much and how often you eat! it really takes effort on your part! you have to think about it either as each meals comes or for the whole days meals. you have to think!!! guess that's part of why i got fat!! maybe, it's laziness? maybe it's just too easy not to have to put any effort or thought into what we eat! LAZINESS! we've become lazy! we use a remote to change our tv channels instead of getting up and changing it. we use elevator's instead of stairs, we drive or ride rather than walk or ride a bike. we buy fast food or ready made foods so we don't have to cook! we even buy bottled water so we don't have to wash out glasses or go to the faucet for a drink, all we do is grab and go! most of us don't even sit at the table anymore! we either take it to our bedrroms or living room's , etc. and....whatever happened to the whole family gathering for meal time? we don't even spend quailty time together anymore! used to be... we only ate at the table! we had manner's and shared our food !
used to be we eat smaller portions and healthier foods! heck! alot of kids today don't even know what a specific fruit or veggie looks like!
now, don't get me wrong...i'm not saying we're awlful parents ..... but that it's expensive to feed our kids and ourselves healthy foods these days! all the fattening foods are the cheaper foods... that most of us can actually afford! take a juicer for instance. it would be the most healthy ....if we could make our own fruit or veggie juices! but, did you ever try it? it takes alot of it to make enough for everybody and....it's very costly ( you wouldn't believe how much fruit or veggies it takes)! it's easier and cheaper..... to just buy the canned or bottled! but...then we have to put all that extra crap in our bodies too! chemicals , additives and perservatives , salt and sugar , corn syrup and fake sugar's of every kind! is it any wonder why we become obese and unhealthy!!!!???? here's a question..... is this another way for the government and/or medical field, etc. to prosper? they add all that crap so that you get sick and fat and then have to go to the doctor's and of course....buy medicine too! then the fitness industry gets their share too! because then...we buy exercise equipment and go to the health spa's and exercise classes which all cost and arm and a leg too! we have to buy bigger clothes which cost more too! they give us medicine...which might cause another problem...so...we have to take another type of medicine to fix the side effects of the first medicine they gave us to begin with and on and on it goes!!! round and round!!!! and the world isn't as GOD ever intended it to be! now, we have polution and all sorts of bad stuff that we created which is in our environment ...the air and water and soil! we end up with cancer's and asthma and high blood pressure and diabete's and all sorts of aliments! we take medicne and our kids end up with problems.... because we took it when we were pregnant! wow! when you stop and really think about it.....is it any wonder!!!!!! that's it for me tonight! i'll be back tomorrow! take care, boomertoo
