One step leads to another step,  but everything starts with the first step . 

I ask myself this morning these questions , perhaps it will help myself or others find a solution . 

Why am I eating junk ? Why am I choosing junk over health . Just like cigarettes , junk food is not our friend . 

What benefit is eating junkfood and eating unwisely giving me .  Answer none , in fact it makes me more miserable and just one leads to two leads to a whole pack , just like cigarettes .

What am I missing in me or around me that I feel junk food is providing .. somewhat similar to quitting smoking . Smoking and food can't replace good true honest friends . Good friends lift you up but your best friend is in you . 

What can I do ? Reach out , volunteer more , interact more , walk more , excersise more , be a good friend to others . Support and encourage others while supporting and encouraging myself . Take action and do , do not do nothing . 

Where do I find myself physically and emotionally when I eat wrecklessly . Sad , depressed , happy , joyful ? Energetic no energy  ? Where do I find myself when I eat healthy ? Feeling negative or positive . 

We have a choice . 

When are your worst times for eating unhealthy . Morning , noon , night , middle of the night . Situations , circumstances ? Answer ... just like our smoking addiction it can start with one time , perhaps like the morning cigarette and then it progressed to an after dinner cigarette then  to a bedtime cigarette , and from there all the inbetweens . Same can happen eating the wrong foods .  

What needs to change ? Thinking I will has to become doing. 

Will you go about changing the things you can and stick to the plan ?

Yes or no .  

What is the plan stepping forward ?
