Don't Stop

You will heal!

During vacation I had a lot of time to reflect, and if most of you read that blog, you are aware of the dietary challenges I faced. It took me some time to really get over my frustrations of what I had access to and limitations on regarding the food selections. I came back home incredibly thankful because of the many food selections and offerings we have that accommodate the various dietary options of being gluten free, vegan, vegetarian, paleo, etc. It made me realize that there are people who suffer in their health more because of a lack of access. I know, I know - of course that is the case. However, when you see it up close and live it for a while it is very eye opening. When you have to make decisions based on the premise of living and having to forfeit your health that is very eye opening.

I'm sure by now you may be asking what the above has to do with not stopping. Everything. See, you too have access and the privilege to select what foods you want to eat, if it is organic and non-gmo, clean water, etc. Although taking steps through food choices to heal can be extremely hard, you have the ability to do it with with cleaner and better food options all for the sake of healing your body. Yes, the road gets tough and you experience frustration, anger, and dissatisfaction, but on the other end you also get to heal, feel whole, and enjoy life. 

In this blog, I am reminded to be grateful for the journey. It may not be easy, but it also may not be as bad as we think. There are definitely other people suffering from a form of thyroid disease and they have no way of truly getting better due to food offerings alone. Let this serve as a reminder to stay strong on your path to healing. You will heal and you will get the chance to run freely and do the things you were able to do before this disease ran its course. 

Keep going and be encouraged!

Much love...
