Clean Eats
What I ate in my week: Home Edition🥘
I’m on a journey of reconstructing my mind and diet.
Seeing what my body loves or rejects.
Learning to re-love my body since gaining all this new weight. I was used to eating whatever I wanted and staying small for so long. Now, I’m changing my mindset and respecting my temple more.
Feeding it foods that make me feel and look good, TO ME. Not for anyone else’s satisfaction but my own. You always hear the cliche saying, you are what you eat. FACTS!
You look and feel better. Mood and hormones are better balanced. I also sleep and think better.
Take care of your mind and body. No matter your age. You only get one body. So listen to it and PRAY over your food. The recall list has been wild and consistent. Love yourself in every stage of your weight gain or loss journey. Learn your family’s health history and go from there.
In this inspiring week of clean eating, I focused on meals that satisfied my body and mind. From smothered mushroom cheddar cheese grits to a vibrant green smoothie, I learned the importance of listening to my body's needs. My meals included carbon footprint-conscious ingredients such as fresh vegetables and whole grains, reflecting a commitment to both health and sustainability. Each meal has a purpose and nurtures not just physical health, but mental well-being too. Embracing your unique dietary journey helps in maintaining balance and encourages a positive relationship with food. Remember to explore family health histories as they can guide your choices. Ultimately, enjoying food that resonates with you fosters a love for yourself at every stage of your health journey. If you're on a path similar to mine, consider incorporating diverse, plant-based options. Sautéed peppers with black beans and brown rice or colorful tricolor potatoes with fresh cucumbers and Italian dressing can bring delight to your meals. Healthy eating is about more than just restrictions; it's about exploring flavors and nurturing yourself. Allow yourself the grace to make changes gradually, and cherish your relationship with food. By praying over your meals and practicing gratitude, you create a nourishing cycle of care for your mind and body.
