DISCIPLINE???????

SINCE I`VE BEEN TRYING TO MANIFEST WELLNESS...A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE COME ON THE PATH WITH ME....THEY HAVE ALL
FALLEN OFF AND THIS NEW YEAR'S MORNING I WONDER WHY?
IS IT THAT DIFFICULT?
WHEN GIVEN A CHOICE TO LIVE EATING BADLY AND EXPERIENCING THE REWARDS OF THAT, AND EATING PROPERLY AND EXPERIENCING THE REWARDS OF THAT, WHY DO WE ALWAYS CHOOSE THE FORMER?
Haven`t we had enough sugar and ham to last a lifetime?.....my father said very clearly if he had to stop drinking or smoking to live he would rather die...SO HE DID.......68 years old......that is a young man in todays world.
But is the reason WHY because when we give up what we call our pleasures,life is not worth living....
My good friend (who shall remain nameless) did one month with a holistic practitioner for her diabetes and by the 30th of the month although experiencing changes in her personality and general health,she couldn`t wait to go back to her wrong eating.......and she clearly told me that food is her enjoyment and if she had to eat like how she was eating she would rather die.....now she didn`t have to eat that strictly for life,she just needed to get her diabetes under control and eat less of what doesn`t agree with her.........she wasn`t taking that on.........why?
Hepatitis,Diabetes,Lupus, are 3 of the ones that we KNOW our food intake affects,why r we on blood pressure pills when we can come off salt immediately........
Cancer responds to Glyconutrients as many of us has found out,we say its too expensive,yet we do more expensive treatments, or we buy it but don`t have the discipline to take it........... It causes bloating while your immune system is compromised.......I looked like a tub,but i asked why? heard the reason and ploughed on.
Knowing there was a light at the end of the tunnel helped.
I heard it will take minimum 2 years for the chemo toxins to come out of my system so why am i going to give up 6 mths down the line....it amazes me that we r prepared to take blood pressure tablets for the rest of our lives and inject ourselves with insulin but not prepared to give food a chance.........
Is it because we lack discipline? is it will power? or is it convenience?
Is it easier to go to the jerk pork stand or get some fry chicken, instead of going home and making some green juice or some nut milk ........
It must be the things in the food that makes us addicts ......I have been trying to get off cheese,not easy,well today i read it has things in it that are addictive,makes perfect sense to me........Solution.......if i don`t buy it i can`t eat it right........don`t set yourself up for failure.......
This morning an article in the New York Times said we need to eat less.....I could have told them that,this 3 meals a day thing is highly over rated.
Look around u at all the people my age, barely waddling around.........can`t walk......look in their faces,bloat!
Look on their skin,look in their eyes.........U want to look like that so u can eat fry chicken and potato chips?
HAVE U EVER SMELLED SOMEONE IN THEIR SIXTIES WHO HAS SMOKED OVER A PACK A DAY ALL THEIR LIFE EARLY IN THE MORNING?
HAVE U EVER HEARD THEM COUGH?
Since i`ve moved to ocho rios i`ve scarcely entered the supermarket and its usually only for seasonings and cranberries.The market is a much better place to be.
Being around raw food people i have noticed they have no body fat,no body odours,little mucus,.little wax,great skin,no acne,their urine is clear,u don`t have to run if they use the bathroom,plus they have tons of energy.........they don`t have truck tyres around their waists,not even bicycle tyres.
There must be something good in this way of life? maybe i`ll never fully get there but i`m certainly going to try.
