finding inspiration for my project!

after a full summers worth of an eating healthier mission, i think it has finally hit me. at first i was enthusiastic about eating heatlhier options, smething i had always wanted to do. i had finally found that extra push i needed to actually do it. i think that is why the first month i found it more inspiring to eat healthy. i found myself cooking more foods for myself and ditching bad eating habits such as drinking pop, resorting to more fast but unhealthy foods instead of being creative (even if it ment takeing more time). but then i went on 2 long trips with my family and friends and started making excuses of why i can eat foods that are not good for the body. "im on vacation" or "just this once" are thoughts that i would often find myself resorting to. i began to lose sight of my goal in the first place.
After reading more and more of AVM it became clear to me that Kingsolver was already extremly educated and passionate about naturally grown foods and she later advanced into applying it to her real life. she didnt just one day decide she wanted to devote an entire year of her life to animals and vegtables grown and raised from only her back yard and neighbors, most of which they personally knew. for my goal of eating healthier it is clear i must first become educated and passonate about why i am aiming for this. that is the only way me, or anyone else will ever truly be able to acheive any goal of theirs to the fullest.
instead of forcing myself to make a desicion every time i eat about weither i am eating healthy or not, i am going to actually be useful with my time and research what healthy eating is all about. i trust that the passion will come naturally, since i know i already have a drive to eat healthy. once the passion comes to me, i think i will find it easier and more natural to eat healthy, just like it did for Barabra to eat locally grown food. although i still plan on cooking one or two more meals before the summers end, i will be focusing more on educating myself.
Although i know this summer was supose to be a project where you acheive a goal (such as eating heatlhier) in my case it took me a trial and error to realize i was aproaching my goal at the wrong angle. if only i would have realized this sooner into my project! lol
