What Did You Eat And Drink Last?

Greek yogurt w/ blueberries, English Breakfast tea, and supplements.

Working on getting at least 2 healthier meals and supplements into my system each day. Accountability..... ?
 
Great article, @berlinda . Those UPF options were the basis of my lifelong food addiction, unrecognized until several years ago via a trip to the ER making drastic changes necessary. As with most substances, I didn't realize I was addicted until I tried to quit.

Being raised on many of them due to having two parents working f/t and then some, then choosing that or fast food as my usual go-to when I was working f/t with lots of overtime and such and just trying to scrape by as best I could. Quick and convenient, until it wasn't. No one ever taught me any differently, nor would I have likely listened.

I still feel like a former crack addict trying to avoid taking another hit when I venture out to the stores and such, even more so after ditching meat/dairy/eggs/gluten/caffeine/alcohol/etc.. The struggle is real and difficult, but worth it.

I also learned many/most of the companies purposefully engineer the substances to be addictive. Profit margins matter much more than healthy nurturance, unfortunately. Here's one of the articles that I happened upon back then...

It's a full-time jog trying to unlearn and re-learn what truly does a body good, and each one is different, so that adds even more elements. Never a dull moment.

Tonight, we're having fire roasted veggie daiya brand pizza and unsalted tortillas topped with grated vegan cheese, guacamole, walnut taco meat, and homemade salsa.

Got a big salad prepped for lunch and doing a Thai food pick-up for supper. Mmmmm....summer rolls, I can't wait to sink my teeth into you. ?
