Man going back down memory lane! It was March 2020, Covid was hitting the earth 🌍 like a bombshell with no ending at site. Anxiety took over my body, sleepless nights and the thoughts of me dying was raging in my head, almost everyday.  I chose food as my comfort, my go to and it never forsaked me. It was always readily available and it gave me pure satisfaction. I remember waking up at night with a full panic attack, heart palpitating, legs feeling heavy like a brick 🧱 and me just praying it would all go away.  That night March 3rd 2020 I knew I had to do something and I knew I either needed professional help or the entire strength of my Heavenly Father to see me through. I prayed and cried many nights. I felt helpless and it seemed like I was the only one going through or so I thought.  It wasn’t until I made the decision to just stop and let God handle this matter. I needed my Heavenly Father more than I could imagine and I needed him to help his daughter. I begged, pleaded and pr

The problem that I see with most is many have no patience when it comes to nourishing their bodies. Everything is fast food and on the go.

It was one of the worst feelings there could be. I would eat because it was there or because I’m just having such a great time and everyone else is eating so why not me?  It wasn’t until I started to look at what I was eating and why? Why did I have to eat to feel over full or to eat where I  had to unbutton my pants, that was just a mess within itself. Holidays for me is about family and creating moments that I can cherish for my lifetime. Foods play a major part in all gathers & especially holidays, celebrations  & birthdays. I realized that how I eat and what I eat affects not only my  body but it also affects my mind! I took control of me and took accountability for my actions and the relationship I had with food! To eat healthy is to be truly in tune with who you are, to want more than just the now and to live a
