| I'm changing my ways & started juicing. |
I had a PBJ sandwich almost every day of school since kindergarden through high school. (Most of which my mom made for me, thanks Mom!) Picky has always been part of my life when it comes to food. As a kid I only ate PBJs, noodles and butter, chicken nuggets/tenders, french fries and strawberries.
Going away to college and playing Division 1 soccer put me in social situations that were extremely awkward. Going to parties, team dinners or banquets are normally fun and exciting for a college-aged student. For me, it was awkward and filled with anxiety. What was I going to eat? What if I was hungry? How would I get food for the night without making it 'weird'?
Then I got married one year out of college. They say that when you get married you gain 10+ lbs. It's true. For everyone except my husband. He's 6'5" and 188 lbs. He's a handsome stick! I was working out all the time: personal trainer, half and full marathons, crossfit ... and still couldn't lose the weight. It's official, my eating habits have caught up to me. It's not about my athletic ability or work ethic anymore. It's strictly about diet.
In the last few months I've had my gallbladder removed, been reading One In A Million, praying, watched the Hungry for Change movie and had a real come to Jesus moment. I would like to take you on this "Rocky" journey as I try new foods and change my mindset. I've had PBJs every day since pre-k and it's about time to change it.
I had an answer that came to me in a dream from God. And the answer for me was this: Make smoothies in the mornings and start juicing at night with dinner. You'll get your fruit & vegetable vitamins and nutrients that way. Eat whatever else you want, and eventually your body and cravings will change.
It was all true...
