It was hell getting out of my neighborhood yesterday
The police had to be called in to direct traffic
and restore order.
And no it wasn’t a car accident…
I had to find out what was going on…

I had to find out what was going on…
Come to find out – Chik-fil-a had opened
a brand new fast food location.
EVERYONE and their mother decided to
eat dinner there last night.
It looked like a line to get into a 5 star club.
Seriously…it was nuts.
The drive- through line reached around TWICE!!
It got me thinking…
It’s pretty incredible how powerful food can be.
Food, in my opinion, is the most addictive thing
on the planet.
Think about it…
A fast-food chain opens up.
They sell decent chicken sandwiches
along with fries and milkshakes…
Not the healthiest stuff by any means…
But people swarm the place like they’re giving
away free iPhones.
It’s no surprise that this country is incredibly
overweight…
And the obesity rate keeps rising.
I’m not saying Chik-Fil-A is to blame (in fact,
they have healthy options for sure)
But you can’t tell me the thousands of people that
poured into the new location last night all ordered
the grilled chicken nuggets with a salad.
C’mon fam…we all know that most of the choices
being made were on the un-healthy side.
So what do we do?
The food addiction is real so we have to tackle
our own nutrition head on.
My best advice is this:
Start with your health.
Focus on eating healthy
Eat foods that give you energy
and make you feel good.
Stay away from foods that bloat you
or make you feel super sleepy.
Stay far away from foods that upset
your stomach.
Listen to how your body reacts and
feels after eating certain foods.
It becomes so much easier to get in great
shape when we focus on our health first
and make that a priority over anything else.
And before you think I’m all sunshine and rainbows
over here…
I know it’s not easy.
Far from it.
We are battling an industry (food) that knows
all about our addiction and preys on it to try
and increase profits.
There’s a reason why food is literally
EVERYWHERE.
So stop shooting for perfection…
You will slip up from time to time.
That’s ok.
Just do your absolute best to make
the healthier choice and over time
those choices will add up.
I’m right there with you.
I’m putting a bigger emphasis on my health
for myself, my family and my clients.
Are you with me?
