Let Food By Thy Medicine

I am not a healthy person. I have the most shocking diet and I'm too ashamed to even list a typical's day eating. If I did it would be comprised of the following food groups - sugar, fat, caffeine, chemicals and sugar (cos I can never get enough). My one redeeming feature is that I don't eat a lot of meat. So is it any suprise that I get headaches/migraines on a regular basis, am overweight, have a constantly runny nose, painful indigestion, awful PMT, moodiness, depression that goes up and down and feel tired all the time? Nope, no suprise at all!

I'm sick of feeling sick, I've forgotten how to eat and enjoy food and I have a fully entrenched eating lifestyle that is killing me. The other strange and annoying thing is that I really believe in a plant-based diet that is full of unprocessed food - it completely aligns with my environmental values. So why don't I live like this?! A couple of years ago I had a major detox and followed the Eat To Live programme for my headaches and it was tough but so worth it, so I'm ready to give it another go.

Am I crazy to start Eating to Live on April Fool's Day? Oh well, it's time and it has to be done - it's probably the least foolish thing I could be doing for myself!! Please support and encourage me as I do this. I know it'll be one of the hardest things I ever do!!
