What I Eat in a Day 02/2019

Changing my diet was a huge part of my healing. First thing I did was jump on my computer and frantically searched the web for recipes. To be honest I didn’t even know what I was looking for. I just searched for recipes that were vegan (I thought vegan meant HEALTHY) and had a variety of vegetables. Basically I would make each recipe and cross my fingers each time. Hoping I’d somewhat like them.
It was Not Going as I Planned
This experiment of trying different recipes went on for a couple of weeks. Sadly, none of them genuinely satisfied my tastebuds. Feeling frustrated and broke I decided to completely stop. Those recipes were a big expense and I no longer had the money to continue purchasing that amount of food. Plus I just didn’t have the time and energy to prepare them. That task became way too exhausting and I felt like it was wasting my energy. I couldn’t afford that. If you are like me and suffer with terrible fatigue, you can understand where I’m coming from.
The Struggle was Real
An additional challenge I dealt with was making separate meals for my husband. I struggled with trying to prepare meals for myself and making a separate meal for him. It was pretty challenging to prepare 2 meals. At that time my husband was not interested in eating the meals I was making for myself.
All of this just started to pile up, striping away every ounce of energy or time I had. The effort I was putting in began to out weigh the healing I was looking to experience. I needed to rest, I needed to lie down, brain fog was making it impossible to navigate through all of this.
Believe it or not, the challenge turned out to be a positive experience. It actually forced me to be resourceful and to eat simple meals. This in turn helped to lower my food expense and it saved me a ton of time.
I made this “what I eat in a day” video to show an example of how simple I keep my meals. You will see I do not put in a lot of time or effort and the meals are only a couple of ingredients.

Thank you Tara. Great informative vid!! When you have experienced bloat, can you give me an example of how much fruits and vegetables you lowered?
Awww thank you! Oh gosh I don’t have any amount to share with you. I base everything on how I feel. Maybe these links will help you heal your bloating…
