I don't find living a healthy life to be difficult anymore; well, not as far as having cravings for the wrong things anyway. I have more of a desire for the foods that are good for me these days. What I find most difficult is trying to help the people around me to understand why I am so dedicated to sticking with my dietary habits.
There is a family gathering tomorrow that I'm looking forward to. Of course I won't be eating anything, but I'll be enjoying the company. I know people have a difficult time with my eating habits, but I sometimes wish that they would be more understanding. Many people feel that eating badly just "one time" won't hurt. I respectfully disagree; especially in my case where many of the foods that I avoid tend to have an immediate and daunting impact on my body.
All I have to hope for at this point is that my family and friends get as use to my discipline as I am. It's comforting when I eat with friends who know what I know and eat the same way or have even more restricted eating habits. I just wish there were more choices out there for people like us. Who knows, maybe one day there will be!
