What we eat

Why is it that we continue to put things into our bodies that do not make us feel good?

The inspiration for this post came from nwdragonfly  she got me thinking about this when I read her blog question of the month for August.

She also wrote a great article on What we eat & how we feel for September issue of the magazine.

I have been paying close attention to what I am eating these days and sadly some of what I ingest does not make me feel good.

Here is an example a few nights ago we went to get peel and eat shrimp at the Belikin party. I was in the mood to keep it simple and eat just one thing.  After eating a pound of boiled shrimp with a bit of sauce for dinner I was full but not stuffed. I was feeling good and my body was resonating very well with what I just ate.

The kicker is earlier on at the store we bought  treats for after dinner.

I sat there knowing full well I should leave well enough alone, but I didn't and decided to eat my m&m's. I was smart enough to give a bunch to Paul, but that did not help enough.

All those good body feelings I was experiencing dissapeared very fast and I started to notice a mood swing coming on instantly. I did not feel the same inside, the m&m's made me feel badly and put a crabby edge to my mood.

This makes me wonder how many people out there are (un)knowingly experiencing this on a regular basis and do not make the connection that how they feel can directly be linked back to what they ar eating or know it and still keep eating bad food anyways.
