Don't Be A Whimp!

After decades on the Standard American Diet (S.A.D.) it is a big adjustment to eat all raw living food. In this country we've been raised to indulge in eating on a day to day basis. We don't even realize the values that we eat by, such as "If it tastes good eat it."

On top of that we complain and whine about food a lot. Yes, the Bible says to do all things without complaining, but food seems to be a favorite thing to whine about. Have you ever noticed that?

Sometimes I start to slide back into my old ways of thinking. It was fun and a luxury to eat whatever I felt like and I remember when I was young and I thought I could eat whatever I wanted and it wouldn't affect my health. I bragged, "I have a rock gut." HA!! I now know health is cumulative--in other words it all catches up with me. Sometimes I whine, "I'm tired of making juices and salads." Sometimes I complain, "I can't have any of what you're eating." Sometimes I get lazy, "I don't feel like exercising today."

I have to give myself a little pep talk. I say to myself, "Don't be a whimp, Jenny."

The Bible says "All discipline for the moment seems sorrowful, but the end result is the peace of righteousness." I love that "Ah! All is right in the world." I am reaping that "peaceful fruit of righteousness." I don't want to give in to my feelings and throw the discipline of my daily regimen out the window. I have made up my mind and written down how I have decided to nourish my temple/body each day and I need to just DO IT whether I feel like it or not.

Isaiah 50:7
"For the Lord God will help me.
Therefore shall I not be confounded;
therefore have I set my face like the flint;
and I know that I shall not be ashamed."

God bless you, Health Seeker!
