My body is a temple, not a trash can

 

 I saw this quote on Pinterest as I was looking for different motivational pictures and quotes to pin.

And it got me thinking.

If I want a body that's healthy,slim, strong and beautiful, I need to pay close attention to what I actually put in my mouth.

When I was younger, I was naturally slender and had a really awesome physique (if I may say so myself).

I was super active and food was not an issue. I could eat what ever I wanted, and didn't gain any weight.
 

But as I got a job and a driving license, that changed....dangerously fast..

As I earned my own money, I would eat snickers bars and drink coke every day. 

And I didn't eat regularly and nutritious food either.

Sometimes I wish I could turn back time and choose differently.

Needless to say, I gained weight. And a lot of it!

And I wasn't even aware until someone made a mean comment.

I was so hurt.

And there were more of those to come over the years.
 

I started to hate my body.

I was also desperate to shed it, to be my old slim self again.

I had no concept of healthy and unhealthy food.

Because I had always been able to eat anything .

So many mistakes were made in the process.

I'm not gonna make this a long story.

Over the years I have learned and sought knowledge about diet, food, healthy lifestyle and training.

Because I want to do what is best for my body.

After all, I only have the one I'm in.

So back to this quote....
If i want a body that is healthy and happy, what i put in it matters a lot!

If i eat junk, i.e  sodas, sugar loaded treats, so called diet Products that contain more Chemicals than a medical lab, deep fried food etc , i`m actually abusing my body. and it will let you know how it feels about the abuse too, and it won`t be pleasant.

But if i eat clean, healthy food,i`m basically showing it the love it deserve,and it will give me so much in return.



Have a great day
