Big Mistake #2

There is no such thing as healthy sweets. Unless you are consuming some berries or fruit, you will not find it. But do not despair. I'm sure many of you have heard of the paleo diet which is mostly meat and vegetables, then whole grains and nuts (seeds also) and a very little bit of fruit and NO SUGAR. Sounds horrible doesn't it? For me, I love the Paleo diet. Seriously, it's awesome. But some people may show some trepidation about such a diet. Don't worry, there are plenty of ways to get healthy outside of paleo.

These are the most common cliches I hear from people about eating healthy:

"Just because it's organic doesn't make it superior."

"Eating like that is too expensive."

"Don't you want to eat like everyone else? You have to say no to so much. Kinda stuck up if you ask me."

"If you wanna be skinny, just exercise."

Guys, I laugh at the ignorance of these statements. I do not mean to insult anyone's intelligence by saying these aren't valid points, but like Fat Amy says "Lesbihonest." :) If you don't want to be healthy, just say so! But, Mistake Number 2 is the way people view healthy eating. It's not organic, or expensive, or starving yourself. And if you need to say no when you're out with your friends or family, guess what? They will honor that. I have had a dairy intolerance as long as I can remember and people never said "You don't want ice cream?? Weirdo. We aren't inviting you back to our parties anymore." No. See, the only people that make a big deal about the food you eat is YOU. So, when deciding not to diet, but change your lifestyle, you don't reference anyone else. This is your decision. For some people changing your health for the better might be as simple as passing up a drink or skipping dessert or making your portions smaller. We all know our bodies and know what needs to go and what needs to stay. If you are concerned and not surewhat is causing your health issues you can email me at acceptinghislove@gmail.com. Oh, I forgot to tell you guys, I have gone through the loops and have many referrals for what you need to do or go. I'm not a doctor, yet.:) I am training to be one.:) Well, remember, it's your choice and your body! Let's take care of it! Have a happy Thursday!
God Bless!
