In reply to C. Thank you for sharing your experience with us, C! You couldn't be more right. It's about mental health as much as it is about physical. You can't have one without the other.

This is so great to see someone saying. I was raised by someone who was OBSESSED with organic. everything. (even in the 80s), and a 100% spotless house at all times. Sadly, her health is now far worse than the average woman her age…because of extreme and constant anxiety. She’s beginning to see it, but it’s late in the game.

Funny on the conventional apple too. I once said to her that I’d rather eat a conventional apple than an organic white-flour, sugar-filled cake and she was appalled at me.

You’re exactly right, it gets down to the point of obsession. Obsession = anxiety. Anxiety = heart disease (my guess as to why it’s the number one killer of women!), high blood pressure, autoimmune disease and sad or broken families, which causes even more anxiety. I say all that from both first and second-hand experience.

I have found after being on a health pathway for many years, I found that if I paid attention to inner signals (I know that it’s not good English to use “I” but this is what I found), I gradually and naturally would move to a new healthier step. Some steps are long term and I continue to do them today. Some were short term. For example, I wanted to do a parasite cleanse but the cleanses were all very complicated and I knew I wouldn’t follow through. Finally, I found something simple and did that. But I don’t do it all the time. Once was enough. Years ago I tried to drink more herbal tea, and failed. I tried to force myself to do it because I knew it was good for me. I couldn’t do it. Now I drink much more herbal tea and want to, it is not a forced thing like I tried before. As the body gradually detoxes and balances due to right choices, the moments of stress over a “slip up” become fewer because you naturally don’t want certain things any more. I believe also that fat cushions vital organs from toxins in the body so I think losing the last few pounds becomes difficult unless we have gone through enough detoxification.

I had the same learning from my nutritionist in our Buffalo area. Their business is here: https://goo.gl/maps/Q1YonUEzPRpQRrjJ8. And one of their guys taught me a lot especially about my nutrition; what’s healthy and WHAT’S not. Plus, it’s also not about the food that I eat but my attitude towards my food. Just like what this post is saying.

I have hired someone from https://buffalonutritionist.com/ told me this, “it’s not bad if you want it, like a craving. But take it slow,” and this post reminded me of that. “Take slow bites, Savor this experience. If you allow yourself these experiences, they won’t seem so forbidden and you won’t crave them 24/7.” it is not bad as long as you know when to stop.

In reply to M. I cannot thank you enough for posting this. I was one of those who researches everything to figure out how to feel my best, and it never worked. I’ve tried most everything...except listening to my own body and trusting that it will tell me what it needs. Thank you again!
