I love food and in the process of being kind to myself, I've started researching what foods are kindest to my body and a "plant based" diet (in terms of how I feed my body regularly) has consistently been on the forefront of my mind. I'm huge on: reading books, blogs, articles + watching documentaries...if I'm going to change an important part of my life, I better understand the ins and outs.
Seeing other people live out a plant based diet helps because it reminds me that it can be done. Doing challenges, however long or short, shifts my mindset and helps me take inventory of my kitchen. You'd be surprised at how many hidden ingredients (read: chemicals, highly processed) are in your pantry.
My goal this year is to adopt a plant based diet that is also forgiving of Ben + Jerry's Fudge Brownie being on my cart at the end of a long day. Be kind to yourself. Allow yourself the ice cream. Eat the cake. But, keep taking steps toward your goals, whatever they may be. I chose the plant based route because it appeals to me and it works the best for my needs. Search out what works for you, do lots of research + go!
By the way, it was d e l i c i o u s.
