While cleaning out a large stack of mail, catalogs, papers to be filed, articles pulled from magazines, recipes (you get the picture), I came across some articles I pulled about food and health that I'm going to take some pointers from. One of the things I liked the most was an "I believe" list from Meg of Megg Salad:
- You are what you eat. Literally.
- Your body is telling you something, you have to listen.
- Counting calories is a waste of time.
- Know what you're eating.
- Food is powerful.
- Diets don't work.
- Food isn't the only thing that feeds us.
- Exercise should feel good.
- You, and only you, are in control of your health.
- Health is a means, not an end.
Hopefully re-reading this list will help me shed some bad habits!
With regards to #8, one thing I've realized since I've started trying to be a runner- my body can handle it, so it's more of a mind issue of not wanting to quit in the middle (or before I even start!)
