My Food Revelation

     My food choices always give me a heads up to how I'm feeling. For example, carbs and sweets make me a bit foggy. This is usually showing me that I desire to move forward with an idea but I have some fears around venturing into this new territory. This inner conflict between my desire and my fear creates stress.
     From here I can either face my stress or address my eating. If I address my eating it will take me to my stress because when I'm out of my fog I can see my other living choices with greater clarity.
     As I pondered the idea that when we are clear, we are able to see our living choices with greater clarity, it made sense that many people who diet to lose weight eventually gain back at least as much as they lost. They get to that clarity place and don't know how to address what they see so they go back into their old familiar food-fog where it's "safe."
     And of course, if I address my fear of moving forward my eating choices will change because I won't need the fog anymore. I will rather embrace the clarity and want for more of it on every level.
