Truth and Consequences

I can't believe it has been nearly a month since my last post. Putting fingers to the keyboard isn't hard but deciding what to write and what might interest others seems to stop me many evenings when I take the time to anticipate posting. I suppose others have this same problem when they are new to blogging and others effortlessly type and share often and with seeming ease. Enough of my musings about limitations. I want to encourage everyone to do a simple evaluation of their veggie intake. Knowing how many daily veggies and fruits are beneficial to maximum health doesn't help us consume them. Knowing how good they are for us doesn't always motivate us to consume the proper quantities each day. So what is your answer to why you know what is good daily nutrition and yet don't manage to complete the task? I know my answer: laziness mostly....complacency too. When I can't see all the good stuff happening inside my body, I lack motivation. When nothing bad happens immediately when I miss my veggie quota, I don't think they will be missed. I know this is not true, but still. Talking to people who were on the precipice between life and death and moved toward quality life by nutrition has been a huge reality check for me. Their stories are what motivate me to continue eating quality fruits and veggies even when I can't immediately see all they do for me, even when I don't see immediate decline because I missed a few days. Their stories remind me that the day will come when my nutrition errors show up as health consequences.
