昨天我和一位朋友一起喝咖啡,后者经功能诊断营养认证。我们聊起肾上腺,食物敏感性和环境毒素时,飞了一个半小时。我们听起来不是很有趣吗?
我离开了我们的谈话,感到鼓舞,激动,准备不再吃任何加工过的东西或再买罐头食品了。不幸的是,我知道我是不现实的。今晚来吧,我准备好吃披萨和一杯葡萄酒。或玉米片。
有时候,这让我感到沮丧,因为我非常关心自己的跨度走势图状况和家人的跨度走势图状况。我反对加工食品,食用染料,农药,含BPA的罐头,转基因生物,过量的糖,添加的激素,抗生素和不容忍的成分。但是,我也是人。我是一个忙碌的妻子和妈妈,尽管我尽力而为,但有时我还是做不到。
Does that make me a hypocrite? I hope my message 上 this blog 说 ‘here is how I do 最好的 I can’ and not ‘this is how I am perfect’ because, if you don’t know it already, I’m far from a perfect eater.
I like to think, however, that I am pretty 跨度走势图. Though over time my definition of what that means exactly has evolved. It started in middle school with 跨度走势图 meaning choosing tortillas over chips to dip into nacho cheese sauce. It changed to meaning eating hotdogs and pork rinds so I’d be low carb in college. It then morphed into Lean Cuisines and counting calories after college. And now, 跨度走势图 to me means eating simple, whole ingredients with local origins (when possible).
However, 跨度走势图 to me also means being mentally 跨度走势图. As much as I’d love to never put another GMO or additive in my body, it’s not possible. To strive for that kind of perfection would mean giving up my sanity.
Health is personal. It’s what works for you. While dairy is the devil to 上 e person, it may be the healthiest thing another person eats. Running might give you a thrill, but tear apart another person’s knees. So instead of trying to live by what the 跨度走势图 thing to do now is (AKA, what is 时髦的), educate yourself and define what 跨度走势图 means to you.
My 跨度走势图 is defined by balance. A balance of detesting artificial sweeteners and loving hole-in-the-wall Mexican food. And I’m OK with that.
What is your definition of 跨度走势图?
伟大的发人深省的问题,我很想一直参与那个对话! ðŸ™,
My definition of 跨度走势图 is feeding my body the things that build it up, rather than tear it down. (Non-GMO, vine-ripened fruits and veggies, no processed foods, trying to eat organic, no farm raised fish, no antibiotics in food, no artificial sweeteners, etc.). However, it isn’总是很容易,所以我尝试遵守90/10规则,因为我们不’当我们外出用餐时,始终要控制食物,而您则必须享受生活。
Also, being 跨度走势图 is not 上 ly what you put in your body, it’的身心。
谢谢,祝您周末愉快!
I feel like being 跨度走势图 means being happy. Being happy with your fitness routine. Being happy with the foods you are eating. Being happy with yourself. If you aren’吃对了你赢了’不快乐,你赢了’感觉很好。找到平衡是正确的… 🙂

I think balance is key. Like you said, striving for perfection would drive you crazy and anyway, our definitions of 跨度走势图 always change. One day carbs are bad, the next year it’s wheat, the next it’脂肪等等。我们都必须有自己的恶习,否则生活就不会’一样有趣。也许吧’s为您服务的墨西哥人,为我加工的冰淇淋(老实说,我真的很喜欢低脂冰淇淋,而不是真正的冰淇淋,我知道这很奇怪。)

My definition of 跨度走势图 has changed a ton over the years too. Out of college (and after getting my health promotion and wellness degree! ha) I thought I was super 跨度走势图 because I exercised almost daily and was strong. But I also filled my body with fat-free and processed anything and everything, along with all of the chemicals that go along with it, and turned down offers to eat out (or I would eat beforehand) so that I could obsessively maintain a 1200 calorie or less daily intake. At 上 e point, I weighed 108 pounds at 5’6″ and had 11% body fat. I THOUGHT I was 跨度走势图.
直到我的月经周期丢失了3.5年,才发现我的荷尔蒙全部失调,这使我很难怀孕,这是我一生中最想要的一件事。我的身体受苦,无法正常工作“healthy” lifestyle. Once I accepted that, I cleaned up my diet and my act, and although it took time, I can say that I am truly 跨度走势图 today.
今天,我体内的脂肪可能更多,可能去健身房的频率不高,并且可能会增加一码。但是,我发现了一个平衡点,可以让我在星期五晚上去享用披萨,而不会感到内。我大部分时间都吃干净的东西,每天都吃巧克力,但我不’注意卡路里计数。最重要的是,我不’t obsess over the little imperfections in my body, because I finally got it 跨度走势图 enough to carry my 跨度走势图 baby to term and I love my body for it.
抱歉,时间很长,但是将其键入实际上是一种宣泄! ðŸ™,
非常感谢分享!是的,它’s easy, especially when younger, to define 跨度走势图 by a certain number 上 the scale or pant size. I weighed less than I do now at 上 e point, but I am a BILLION times healthier (physically, mentally and emotionally) now than I was then. Once I started seeing health as a goal to live well, have energy and enjoy life, it helped me focus 上 a pathway to get there. And it didn’包括计算卡路里ðŸ™,真的,谢谢分享!
I read your blog quite often I too have a 19 month old toddler and another 上 the way. I work full time, try to keep the house clean and make meals with as many 跨度走势图 ingredients as possible.

嗨,莎拉,谢谢您的评论。一世’令我有些困惑,如果我惹恼了您,您为什么经常阅读,但是尽管如此,我还是很感谢您的反馈。为了澄清,我实际上不’追求完美;那’这是我的观点。我之所以提到它,是因为在博客世界(甚至是现实世界)中’容易感觉到其他人都在做“healthy”比你强。有时候我有那种感觉,不要’t believe I’m只有一个。当我以前对人们进行跨度走势图指导时,我发现人们会这样,并且会因为他们没有’t do 跨度走势图 living “well enough.”所以我在这篇文章中的观点是,一个人需要找到对他们有用的东西,并且知道’好的-实际上,比好的要好’s great!

你好,莎拉同学!作为布列塔尼的长期读者’的博客,我不得不说她是唯一的一位‘moms’ whose blogs I read simply because she takes the time to write about a whole bunch of different 问题 and NOT just herself all of the time.
