Healthy eating and the judgement that comes with it

As many of you I am sure have experienced, when choosing healthy food over 'common' food that people are used to, there can sometimes be judgement or a sense of being made fun of for choosing to be healthy. I will say that I am impressed with the growth that our country has taken over the years with eating healthy and taking control over what we put in our bodies, but it is a hurdle that is worth jumping over. Tonight I went to a seminar at Whole Foods Nashville, where I am participating in the Engine 2 Diet. I don't do diets, I choose lifestyles, but this 'diet' is one to really ignite the plant-based foods into your eating. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the idea of people of all demographics coming together to try and better themselves. Tonight we had a speaker come in whom is an addictions counselor and is very knowledgable about food and additictions. She was telling us of her upbringing in Mississippi and the fat ladened foods in her home. She has since her childhood lost those behaviors and really helped others explore healthy options, lose weight and really helped others take ownership of their bodies. 

I encourage you to really be conscious of what you're putting in your body, but also what you are missing. It's a work in progress, but it will dramatically change your life.
