The Food Trap

A couple months ago I had a spicy chicken sandwich with fries from chic fil a for lunch. Afterwards my stomach didn't feel so great, although I loved the taste of what I ate I think my body was telling me something different. Dinner that night was buffalo chicken pizza from Papa John's, after that my stomach felt even worse. Reading the book Eat to Live is very enlightening. As Americans we eat so much food that has no nutritional value. I've been following the plan in the book since last Tuesday, I've lost 3 lbs. Doesn't seem like a lot but for me to lose any weight in that short amount of time is amazing. I'm not ever hungry I just changed what I eat. I didn't realize how much my life revolves around food. I have gone out to eat and still was able to follow the plan. Not only am I eating healthier but so is my son. We have more fruit and veggies in the house, so when he is hungry I cut up an apple for him or give him carrots. The way I was able to make this change is I started to think about all the new foods I could make and could have, and not what I couldn't.
If you drive around look at all the places there are to eat. Its amazing, fast food, chain restaurants, take out. Our society really revolves around food, we go out to eat with our family, our friends, spouses, boyfriends, girlfriends (not at the same time). This is a day to day thing but I think for me it is going to change my entire perspective on food.
