It was whatever my mind thought up. I ate, and that meant going to a restaurant to get it or even to the grocery store to go prepare it. I ate whatever the heck I wanted, and I realized every meal I was having was as if it was my last meal. I was eating like I was dying. So, thankfully, this past couple of months, I've been working with a nutritionist through my health insurance. I have great insurance

Hey, Angie, I think that's amazing. I think it's amazing to have a revelation about yourself, and that's a serious revelation, because we don't think about what we're consuming when we actually consume it. Not unless we're on a dedicated diet or something. But we should, you know, eat to live instead of live to eat

Thank you, Miss Evelyn. Thank you so much for chiming in. And, yeah, food is fuel to our body, and energy is a big piece. Whenever I'm. I know that I'm doing right by my body, my energy levels soar. And so whenever I'm, like, taking a bunch of naps and stuff like that, I know it's off. And that's the key. And I know, you know, we've had these conversations about health and wellness

So I had a visit with a nutritionist before I started e two m, and they covered the entire visit. It was an hour long visit. So we were, you know, we were together for a while. It was an hour long visit. I really wasn't crazy about it because the nutritionist talked the entire time and left little, little to no time for me to ask questions or any of that

And don't pay anything out of your pocket that you don't have to. If they're willing to pay for it, then let them pay for it. They're willing to pay for you to have a personal trainer. They give you a wellness coach

But, you know, before we even got to that, I was like, yeah, no, I'm gonna do this better. I did many weight loss medi, weight loss last year, but I'm not gonna lie, it was in the middle of my grieving season, and just, like, you know, going once a week, it just was too much for me. I couldn't physically, like, straight from work to the clinic once a week

Which of course, your digestion starts working after 1520 minutes and it starts filling up your tummy so you're fully sooner and you don't have nearly as much input, but letting you, you know, hear my side of things. But I appreciate you sharing that. Spellcast, that's awesome. Thank you so much

And you talked about dying or eating like you were dying. Some people die to be thin, you know? So we have to be careful with when we're going on this journey, what direction we're going in, because we don't want to go. Okay, well, we're dying over here because we're eating too much. We're killing ourselves slowly, eating fast food, eating foods high and. And fats. And, you know, not good fats, but bad fats

And it's like, I want to do that again because we didn't even have a chance to actually taste and savor the food. So thank you so much for that advice

I just wrote down Wendy's. I didn't even get into the whole. I had a nuggets and a burger and a drink because Wendy's was, enough said. And so when I brought the food journal back to my naturopath doctor for my follow up visit, I was like, here's the journal, doctor. I said. I didn't even finish it. I did one week, and I realized how much I was eating, and she started smiling and laughing

What a powerful share. Thank you so much for that. And absolutely, totally agree. For me, I would say my relationship with food sounds similar to the relationship you had with food as well. I grew up with a mom that was not very happy with what was going on in life. And instead of verbalizing that or kind of putting boundaries in place and demanding what she needed, how she needed to proceed, instead really took it out on binge eating

Hey, I never thought about that. I never thought about when we grab the food out of the window in the bag and shovel it down our faces, how unhealthy that portion of it was. I've always just considered, you know, like you were talking about the low impact or the low quality of the ingredients. That's what I've always been thinking about, you know, because McDonald's, none of the fast food restaurants, let's be real, none of them

My boyfriend, he's a skinny guy, but he has, like, trouble eating. So you know how that goes. Because people only think that if you're overweight, you got food issues. No, but if someone's eating, we had, like, we're avocados. It was like, super well breadsticks and sauce. And then he has spaghetti coming for him, and it's like, instead of letting the boy eat, he's like, don't eat too much bread

I also figured, I can sneak in a cat because I was like, later for what the landlord says, we're talking life or death now. I'm gonna get a pet. And so I got a cat, and, um, not really knowing what to expect. And I'm like, this cat is amazing. It's the first night I had him. He. I always heard the cats were independent, so he had his bed set up

And, oh, now, you know, they sleep on my bed with me and we all cuddle up in this little family ball of fun. So I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one that's, that's become almost a servant to my cat and my dog. But good times. Good times. And I, and because of my health, I won't go to the doctor. So I do everything naturally
