to all of you here in the U.S.! Please celebrate with your hearts and in the joyousness of the holiday and don't allow yourself to feel deprived because you may not be ready for the pumkin pie. Pumkin pie does not create happiness other than for the moment the food hits your palate. And, then it is over in a second, but the pain that will persist will stay with you far longer! And, for those of you that are there and may indulge in healthy sweet eating, remember, use agave pr fruit and bake with whole grain healthy ingredients! Cooking and baking can be such a pleasure when you know that you are using healthy wholsome ingredients to make fresh food for your family that actually contains nutrition-the purpose for eating! So, what ever you CAN eat, eat it with happiness. Happiness for not only having food to put in your belly, but happiness that you are feeding yourself what you need to get and stay healthy! Be grateful for whatever level of healthiness you have managed to acheive and know that everyday you take care of yourself is another day you have treated your body in the way that you should. Your body will thank YOU!
