The rich aroma of a favorite food simmering...the sounds of happy chatter around the table...a well-worn apron flung on a chair...Ahhhh the memories of the most popular room in a home...THE KITCHEN!
This is the genesis of our eating habits. We eat for more reasons than hunger and if we are aware of that ...then our unhealthy eating habits can begin to change.
Eating is necessary, pleasurable & incorporated in every social event. It's a good thing!
But what IF the kitchen would house only the foods that were good for us? What IF we ate just until our body says..."I feel just right"? What IF we ate just when we were hungry? Would anything change?
I suggest it would! We would feel a sense of empowerment by making healthy choices. Clothing sizes would decrease, health issues would begin to improve & self-esteem would skyrocket...Gosh...we would just feel better!
We are deserving of good health and it begins in the kitchen. You cannot eat what you don't have! Be the President of your Domain...the Kitchen! Take charge of what you stock in that most popular room. Make it colorful & tempting with a display in-season fruits and veggies just waiting for someone to enjoy as the table chatter continues. Let those rich aromas simmer still with a medley of veggies dancing in the skillet. Let that well-worn apron show the signs of a healthy meal well prepared for a loving family that deserves a healthy bounty. Habits can change and the effect of habits changing for the better makes for a very happy kitchen...after all that is where Good Health Begins!
"We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit."
