I found freedom, when I realized that 30 million starving Africans during the horrible famine in the 1980's would have walked barefoot 100 miles for a sack of rice and lentils, and celebrated the arrival of the food; when I realized that it would be morally objectionable to me, to unhealthily indulge, when 1 in 11 people on Earth lacks food security. When I fall into the delusion that I want some junky treat, I remember how utterly disrespectful it would be to those who are suffering now, and those who suffered before me, to indulge. To intentionally make myself fat and sick is a disrespect to those around me who may one day need me to be strong for them, to those who fought for my freedoms and had to do without, and to the future generations who would ultimately bear the burden, both psychologically and financially, of my self-indulgences. That's my "why?"
This is wonderful and so caring for humanity and the world. You are an amazing being. So delighted you shared this with us. And may you have a wonderful year ahead of you. C & B
Hello, Connie & Bill, What worked for me was feeling disgusted with myself, especially at the thought: "Am I weaker than these cravings? NO, I’m NOT!" I realized, "Something isn’t working properly." So, I started battling against it, and NOW I’M UNBEATABLE! I began following keto, cutting out ultra-processed foods and sugar, and started eating REAL FOOD - a lot of meat, eggs and healthy fats. No more cravings, overeating, or snacking! I feel happier and healthier than ever.
I love how we can see so clearly that we are more than a craving, and it changes how we live life. So great. Love that you gave up processed foods and sugar. Good for you. Thanks for sharing. C & B
