10 LBS and counting!

So down 10 lbs in 3 weeks. It's been crazy around here so 10 lbs is such an accomplishment for me. Between working, getting meg ready for Miss NH, committee chair for Old Home Day, and home responsibilities I am so proud that I have for the most part stayed committed and on track. It's never easy to start something new or change how we are programmed to think sometimes. For most people we are programmed at an early age to think of food as a comfort and we are misinformed of the dangers of things in our food. We as human beings are not supposed to live on a meat laden diet. Cattle was not meant for the purpose of feeding on it. Cattle now a days is worse because it is being injected with hormones that we are not supposed to be ingesting. Why do think so many of us are getting cancer and diseases that never before have been so prevalent? I wish we included in our teachings at school a healthier way to teach our kids about more of a plant based diet. If we start at an early age we wouldn't have the problems with childhood obesity and kids with cancers we have never even heard about. I think fear of the unknown is worse than fear of change. How do you feel about change? How do feel about learning something new? What motivates you to learn new things? Food for thought....would you change the way you eat if your life depended on it? Would you become vegan or even vegetarian if your life depended on it? If the answer is yes which I know most of you are syaing yes...Than why don't you think it is important to learn about a way of eating that could prevent the unknown? Food for thought.....
