I've learned new appreciation for the phrase "I don't feel good" when I literally don't feel things right. I'm also learning to make an improved lifestyle simply a part of my life, instead of stop-gap measure until a goal is reached, instead of a temporary struggle. I'm sure I'll get there eventually. Just like bad health choices can add up over time, good ones can too, and just as you can damage your health in a short sequence of choices, you can also greatly improve it. That is what beneficials are for! Embrace the foods that God designed for YOU, and recognize junk as what it is, and accept that others have different foods that were designed for them.

I am feeling better lately, BTW. I've been exercising to my current limits, by pushing a stroller with one or two children in it up steep hills. It's a good workout that gets the blood moving, and makes me a little sore. I've just been doing it every other day because I don't want to overdo, but I already have more energy and my moods and numbness have improved.
