Diet

Most people think of this word as a short term eating routine that will help them lose weight. Really diet is what we eat.

Instead of thinking short term its better to think of long term. Sure we all have our favorite things to eat. Some are better than others. What will make you feel good? If you have ever stop eating fast food and then go back to it, you will find that it makes you feel bad. Then you have to stop and think, was I feeling that way the whole time and didn't notice?

Believe me packing my own lunches for work and eating and resting feels good. Its so much better than running around and chasing fast food. It also saves a lot of money. I didn't think that way when I was younger. I ate at a local place so much all the staff knew me, all of the shifts. At that time I was just so happy to have money and not have to do all the cooking. I had been the family cook for years and I needed a break.

These days I am happy to eat at home and take my left overs to work. My mother would never do this, unless I packed it for her. These are lessons I learned from my grandmother. She used to work at a company not too far from where I live now. Year in and year out she packed her lunch and went to work. At that time there wasn't a lot of places to eat at anyway. It worked for her. When I go to the lunch room I hardly see the girls I work with. All of them eat at restaurants, they would have more money for shoes if they didn't. Oh well.

The other thing is that I can control my diet. I can put in unsweetened tea and yogurt. Things that will make me feel good when I get back out on to the sales floor. Let me tell you, a good apple tastes so much better than something with MSG.
