Why do I
Eat What I Eat?
Far too often our diets are based on what someone else may think or eat. For
example, poor eating habits are often handed down through a family like old
clothes. When I was a kid, my mother used to say to us: “Always fry your
bacon first, that way you can use the grease to fry your eggs”. This was
something that her mother told her. At that time we consumed fried food
quite often and I can still remember the old grease can that my mother kept
on the back of the stove. The grease can was an old can (usually an old
coffee can) that was used to “recycle” lard, vegetable oil, and whatever
else may have found its way in there. This was the actual oil left over from
whatever she happened to fry for dinner. Every now and again she would throw
the can out and start over again when the oil got “too old” (usually when
the eggs began to taste like fish). One day my grandmother found a mouse in
the grease can and that marked the end of the grease can era. I know that
this may sound pretty disgusting but hey, how many people can credit a
single mouse for sparing them a life of high cholesterol and heart disease.
My family and I owe that mouse a debt of gratitude.
Many of our
eating habits are not actually ours. They may have been handed down through
the family or borrowed from friends or colleagues. Many individuals whom
work together find themselves saying, “I’ll have what she’s having”. There
are even individuals whom are uncomfortable being different. Of course as
children we have little choice or say in the matter, but as adults we can
choose.
Take a look at the foods that you choose to eat. Do you eat certain foods
out of habit, or is this something your parents taught you to eat? Is this
something that your friends eat? Do you truly enjoy the foods you eat or
have you grown to like them? Do you eat certain foods because they are quick
or easy to prepare? Remember that true freedom of choice is based upon what
you desire. The above reasons are based upon circumstances and
outside influences. If weight loss is what we desire, then we should base
our choices upon it. Otherwise, we aren’t really doing what it is that we
truly want to do. We control our future in the present.
