Eat to Live

While in school taking my nutrition classes often I have seen other classmates say, "Eat to live, don't live to eat". How true it is! For the majority of my life this was never anything to think about. Then as I became healthier and started my research I have tried to make this a reality, but never really succeeded. Food is so delicious I and enjoy eating it. Even as a raw foodist I have struggled with portion control and creating a balanced diet despite my knowledge.

Over the past couple of weeks I have been focusing on taking control of my actions and surroundings and eating in general have been my main focus. Today I have realized that I am quickly gaining control of what I eat and how much of it I eat, creating balanced food plans for each day. I am eating to live by making sure I'm consuming foods that are good for me and that my body wants and needs.

It's a bit of relief for me to see that I am well on my way to a better me. Just wanted to share.
