Week 35, Saturday, Diet with Dianna

Do not love this world nor the things it offers you, for when you love the world, you do not have the love of the Father in you. For the world offers only a craving for physical pleasure, a craving for everything we see, and pride in our achievements and possessions. These are not from the Father, but are from this world. ¹⁷ And this world is fading away, along with everything that people crave. But anyone who does what pleases God will live forever.  [NLT] 1 John  2: 15—17

EAT FRESH FOODS! Avoid processed foods. Eat whole grains and less of the "white" foods. If you eat foods in their more natural state, the better it is for you. Read your labels for hidden chemicals and preservatives.

I read an article from EAT THIS, NOT THAT and it exposes some of the hidden dangers of processed food and preservatives. READ THE ARTICLE HERE.

Now I could live in fear of everything in the world. Instead I choose to eat healthier. I bake, broil, and steam my foods. I avoid highly or over-processed foods. I try to eat foods that are fresh, meats/poultry/fish that are not formed like wieners, cold cuts, chicken nuggets, fried, or formed into shapes.  I eat meats that are simply taken from the source and packaged fresh or flash frozen and without chemicals to preserve them.

Praise God that I don't have to live in fear. I can, however, make better choices, not only in the foods that I eat, but in every area of my life!

CRAVINGS: Yep I had a few cravings but I prayed through my cravings. I put my focus on filling those cravings on God. I was able to resist and not eat emotionally or out of boredom. God is GOOD!


Exercise!
None. Today was a day of rest...all day!

Menu:
Breakfast sandwich: egg, turkey sausage, cheese on whole wheat toast. Coffee

Lunch:
Turkey Salad from Schlotzsky's  (I ate a very small portion. The bowl looked like it was an entire head of lettuce and could have fed 3 people!)

Dinner: NONE but snacked on a few garlic bagel thins and some laughing cow cheese.

I had a cafe' latte from church. Sugar free made with soy milk. It was very delicious!
