Stella’s Healthy Food Mantras

My cube-buddy, next door, put a giant jar of jelly beans on her desktop with a sign, “Help Yourself.”

Shit.

I mean, it’s really nice and all, but

I DON”T NEED TO EAT JELLY BEANS!!!!

First and foremost, I am allergic to red #40. That means, no black, pink, orange, or red ones. So WHY, in God’s name, am I picking through for yellow and green?

Hell if I know.

So, for those of you in the same boat, I will share my mantras.
Let me know if any work. I will as well. I promise. Feel free to comment with any below. I need this, today.

 

Today, I will put healthy food into my mouth because that is what my body deserves.

Today, I will ignore the blatant lies of bright colors and imitation flavors that entice one to eat nutrition-less garbage.

Today, I will find real fruits and real vegetables and nourish myself with love.

Today, before I put one morsel in my mouth, I will consider it’s worth with care. Not based on if I will enjoy it, but whether it’s worthy of my wonderful being.
