Everyday struggle to eat healthy

Everyday struggle…


Sometimes being a raw foodist or vegan can be challenging. Especially if, you are low on some of the staples of a raw food diet like: lemons, greens, and raw nuts.  I often get ready to have one of the green lemonades or smoothies that I love and suddenly realize that I am missing one key ingredient. I might have just run out of lemons or in the case of the green smoothie a just turned yellow banana. This is when I make the worst choices or the sometimes “can’t help it I am only human choice”. J
I might have a lovely avocado dip that is healthy and raw but no raw chips to put them on and instead grab one of my husbands’ corn chips. I regret it almost immediately or as soon as the headache sets in from putting something processed in my body.
Although when I delve a little deeper in my thought process I realize that I am a million times better than I used to be high on caffeine every day. I have to remind myself of where I’ve been, and where I am going and realize that sometimes the lesser of the evils will have to serve its purpose. I have to realize that although I know the best choices to make-they are not always at my disposal. The great news is I know how to get back and I am now in tune with my body so I can recognize when I’ve gone down the wrong path once again.
Remember I just like you go off course but the beauty of treating your body good through a whole food-plant based diet you can always find your way home.
