#9 - Eating Habits

Hello all,

As I sit here and write this, I just ate my lunch consisting of some beef, rice, avocado, and a salad. I feel pretty good and ready to tackle my next task at 5pm. I have struggled and still do with my eating habits. It is something I work on every day of my life and may always have to. I can confidently say I am better at it today then I was for years of my life.

I believe we do not take the idea of our eating habits seriously enough. And for some, eating may not be an issue but rather their issue may lie in another area. This article is not about that.

My problem with eating can be stuffing my face until I cannot move and at a pace where there is no way my body can respond quick enough to know that I am actually full. And even then I will continually stuff my face even further. It’s a drug addiction in that sense and a challenge I battle every day of my life.

My call is to bring awareness of this to help the unknown feel they are not alone. Eating disorders are a huge deal and one that goes underground when it comes to asking for help.

I love my body and my ability to move and live my life. There is no doubt in my mind that our eating habits and what it is we are eating affect our mental state at any given time throughout the day. Whether that is us feeling agitated, angry, sluggish, and many others.

My goal is to educate myself on this matter since it affects me day in and day out. I’d just like to bring an understanding to the matter and help people realize that looks can be deceiving as well. Just because a person looks in shape or “healthy” does not necessarily mean they are happy. I want to be upfront with my problems so other people can share their faults as well.

We are only human, so by that logic we are full of faults, but I believe we need to love each other through our downfalls and come to an overwhelming understanding of who we are as humans. If you can relate or want to share your story with me please reach out to me. I love listening and sharing these types of things.

Love,

Ben
