So...I guess I needed some time to really awaken to the idea that indeed yes... sugar is not good for the body and yes... sitting on the sofa is not preferred. I guess when my body was really giving me signs that it is not working as it used to do... the lightbulb slowly went off.
But now... here I am.
Do you know what else I realised? Ever since I was a young child I survived a nasty childhoodsituation by having the cookyjar not too far away from me. This is a fact. Why? Because I read that sugar is actually somewhat like a drug. I narcotised myself and my emotional feelings every time I turned to the sweets. The feelings got numbed out. (Hey by the way... I am Dutch, so if I don't spell words correctly... that is why... I am writing in a foreign language).
So... in order to break this really longterm habbit I had to also be aware that something will and would shift on the inside.
This transformation has in fact already begun some time before now. I already "woke up" to the fact that something else was going on INSIDE that needed to be cleared, in order for me to be even able to "handle" the emotional stuff in my current and the life already lived. I needed to heal INSIDE in order to be able to show the results of a healthy body and soul on the OUTSIDE.
So ... slowly I started to listen to people that already ate healthy and copied them. That is what I am doing now. Did I slide off sometimes? Yes... most certainly! Was I disappointed in myself? Yes, most certainly.Did I get in a vicious circle by overeating because of these negative emotions popping up again? Yes, most certainly. Did I slowly begin to realize and see the pattern that I was showing? Yes most certainly. Did I begin to see that whenever there was something difficult happening in my life.. I jumped to my old way of dealing with it by overeating and "destroying" myself in a way by eating myself to sickness. YES MOST DEFINITELY! Could I break that old way of behaving? Yes... BUT ... in all honosty... it really took me some time to wake up, be kind to myself by chosing the right food and let that be a token of love for myself. It did not happen at once. It is a conscious decision on a daily basis with an hour to hour consciousness of choosing the right food. The love food so to say... for myself... for my life.... for my soul... for my body...for my health.
It is NOT about dieting. It is about chosing to live in the optimum state your body can be in, in order for your soul to flourish. It is about connecting with your spirit inside yourself in order to heal in its core so the result is a better "outside" reflection.
So ... if you ask me... why are you joining this diet bet of Gilad I would say.... "to honor myself in my deepest core in order to ... heal.... and let all the outside layers that will vanish... be a reflection of myself having pealed myself of... layer after layer.. until... I and the outside world will see the real ME.
Blessings to all of you and I wish you a wonderful time ... connecting with your inner selves and healing.
