The First New Year's GOAL - Eat Healthy

I bet that it is not only mine. I am not concerned about my figure, I don't want to lose some weight. But I am eating crap! I am able to eat chips, a whole chocolate, croissant, "salad" (there's only a little of cucumber in it, mostly there's mayonnaise and ham) and a piece of cake in one hour (that's what I've eaten today!)

And it has to stop!!

But it's not so easy.
I am punctilious and when I am starting something I want it to be perfect. Same about my eating habits. When I decide to eat healthy - I want to stick with it and if I fail during the day.. the whole diet goes to hell and I just postpone it to next day.

And .. surprisingly.. it doesn't work!

Because of that, I guess the best I can do is to start again, but take it slowly now. It's hard process and there will be fails, but I have to accept it and keep going.

What eat healthy actually means?
"Healthy" can be different for different people. For me, it's going back to the basics. It means try to keep my food simple. Try to avoid things where you can't tell what's inside. Avoid normal sugar and take honey and cane-sugar instead. I like buckwheat, quinoa and millet -> incorporate these things.

Rules for the following days: (I'll update these rules after I feel I'm ready to do it)

1. Eat breakfast (always!!)

2. Always have a piece of fruit with me

3. Avoid cheeseburgers and fries

4. Try to avoid sweets (probably the hardest one - for the following days, I can eat a piece of sweets a day - a few gummy bears, a piece of chocolate.. but not a whole package!!)

5. If I fail, I'll keep myself on track and I won't give up!

6. Drink a lot of water!

It means, for the following days I have to be able to avoid cheeseburgers, fries, sweets and junk food in general. But besides that, I can eat whatever I want - ham, pate, etc.. - I will try to substitute these thing later.

Eating healthy is great for my organism. I have a lot of energy when I eat well. I'm in a better mood.

I'm determined and I'm going to make it work!
