AS A PART TIME NUTRITIONIST, I HANG MY HEAD IN DISBELIEF AT THE THINGS THAT ARE INTENTIONALLY INGESTED. IT MAY BE HARD TO GRASP, BUT YOUR BODY AND YOU ARE SEPERATE ENTITIES. YOUR BODY IS YOUR BEST FRIEND, IT WAS THERE WHEN YOU WERE BORN, IT IS WITH YOU EVERY DAY UNTIL YOU PASS FROM THIS WORLD. IT IS LIKE YOUR AUTOMOBILE IN THE KINGDOM OF SPACE AND TIME. YOU CAN'T GO ANYWHERE WITHOUT IT. SO TO LIVE   YOUR BEST LIFE HERE, YOU NEED YOUR EARTHCAR TO RUN THE BEST IT CAN. YOU WOULDN'T PUT SUGAR IN THE GAS TANK OF YOUR CHEVY OR TOYOTA, BUT WALK OUT OF THE QUICK TRIP WITH A 44 OZ  SODA BEFORE WORK, OR 2 RED BULLS, OR THAT PACK OF CIGARETTES, WHAT ARE YOU THINKING? YOU MUST BE THINKING YOU AND YOUR BODY ARE ONE AND THE SAME.  WRONG! YOUR BODY IS LIKE A CHILD AND ONLY THINKS OF ITSELF. I WANT, I WANT, I WANT. BY GIVING INTO WHAT YOUR BODY WANTS, IT BECOMES THE RULER AND YOU ITS SUBJECT. WHAT FOLLOWS IS OBESITY AND/ OR ILLNESS, AND/OR ADDICTION. I KNOW I'M NO ONE TO TALK, AS I HAVE ALLOWED MY BODY TO CONTROL ME MOST OF MY LIFE, AND I'M PAYING FOR IT NOW. YOU CAN'T CHANGE WHAT HAS BEEN DONE IN THE PAST, BUT THE PRESENT AND FUTURE ARE UP FOR GRABS.

I'M JUST SAYING.

UNTIL NEXT TIME

BE KIND TO YOURSELF
