Diet Bites Journal - November 6 Weight Loss " Life on the farm...." Tom and I visited a wildlife area today which was filled with marvelous gifts of nature - from deer to a curious ostrich. Although  we  went  to  have  fun - the adventure gave us an opportunity to get in a bit of activity as well as take some neato photos. Everywhere that we went, Ms. Ostrich followed us. I wonder if that had anything to do with the bag of feed that we had with us? And this beauty in feathers was quite adamant. It wasn't until she had emptied out our feed bag that she decided she was bored with us, then galloped away - off to find another visitor with a bag Lucky for her, our feed bag had been purchased from the main station and was filled with feed that was specifically designed to meet her body's needs. And unfortunately, some of the foods that many of are most attracted to are foods that aren't best for our bodies. One tip that I use before putting anything into my tummy is this: " Food is energy - energy is food." I pause to ask myself, " Will this food benefit my body in a healthy way by providing energy OR will is simply provide energy without healthy benefits?" Generally, the zero-type foods consist of the following: sugar, sugar and more sugar. And frankly, I've always been a Sugar Ant and realize that these type goodies present more pain and gain than they do pleasure time. It's no guarantee that we won't walk straight into a chocolate chip cookie every now and then BUT pausing to ask ourselves questions before we choose does help in making one think about the types of fuel that want to plug into their bodies. |
