DAY 6

 "DON'T WAIT UNTIL EVERYTHING IS JUST RIGHT. 
 IT WILL NEVER BE PERFECT.  THERE WILL ALWAYS BE CHALLENGES,
 OBSTACLES AND LESS THAN PERFECT CONDITIONS.  SO WHAT. 
GET STARTED NOW.  WITH EACH STEP YOU TAKE, YOU WILL GROW
STRONGER AND STRONGER, MORE SKILLED AND MORE SELF-CONFIDENT
AND MORE AND MORE SECCESSFUL." - MARK VICTOR HANSEN

It's over the hump day of our 10 day challenge.  How are you doing?

          I watched a video the other day about sugar and its addictive powers. It was compared to powerful drugs in the way when a person tries to stop eating it and all the foods laden with it, our bodies go through the same kind of withdrawals as heroin. We can get headaches, mood swings, shakes, twitching and depression.  Real physical changes take place as your metabolic system shifts away from sugars energy.

         It is the same for food additives in processed foods and most restaurant foods.  The MSG and (did you know they hide MSG, monosodium glutamate hides behind at least 16 different names like "natural food flavorings" ) sweeteners and the like are all powerful
influences on our body receptors. The more processed foods you must rid yourself from the more the body will likely react. It has had sugars of all sorts and chemicalized fake foods for years.  It's like an extremely abusive mate.  You don't want to let them go, even though the facts are clear that they are having detrimental, even grave effects on your health and well being.  The facts are written all over societies walls.  Processed, refined, enriched, sugar laden, fast foods are killing us. They make us fat but malnourished.  They make us feel good for a minute while making us very sick in the long run.
     We have the power to take control of what goes into our mouths. It may not be easy because we are addicted (and that's just the way food manufacturers want it) But, we CAN DO IT by supporting each other through it.
