Marching toward a healthier tomorrow...
Happy March to you!
I had an impassioned
conversation with someone about food today. This is a lovely woman who
comes from Paris, France. She described her shock and dismay at how
difficult it is to find real food in the United States. (By "real
food", she meant food that has nutritional value. Remember that?) The real food seems
to be in hiding...and when one actually finds it, the cost is sadly
inflated. Institutions talk about the "epidemic of obesity", but it's
difficult to see that vendors are taking that too seriously when chips cost $1 per bag, but one
can still spend $3.69 on three oranges at the grocery store. (Okay, rant off.)
This led
me to a personal challenge. I am challenging myself to a new level of awareness about nourishment. I pledge to pay closer attention to all of the ways in which I feed myself. This is likely to lead to a vigorous weeding out of all of the toxic ways I give myself rewards--not just with the occasional junk food, but with isolation and bad TV, as well. Spending time with good people is a quality way to feed my soul. It's like stretching in the sunlight on a cold afternoon: I never realize how much I have missed it until it is filling up the empty spaces in my head.
February may be over, but the sentiment is not. What if more love could heal the wounds we carry? I plan to begin my March by thinking bigger. I plan to pay attention to the acts of self-love I am creating...to be a conscious co-creator of what I am buying (and buying into) with my dollars and attention.
One of my first acts of nourishment was to join the Association for Size Diversity and Health. This group is closely aligned with the Health at Every Size movement. Their mission includes a delicious attention to the promotion of health and well-being, and to help free us all from weight-based assumptions and discrimination.
What will you do to feed your spirit this month? Will you write a poem? Slip a belated valentine into someone's locker? Take a new class? Share your favorite cupcake? Take your dog for a walk on a new path?
Try something special and new, regardless of your body size or shape. Don't let the numbers stop you.
There's health enough for every body.
Pass it on.
See you at the table,
Tanisia
I
invite you to peruse these pages and find yourself welcome, as though
you were coming to the end of a long journey and you could see, just
ahead of you, a place to rest.
Whether you come with questions...
Whether you come with answers...
Whether you come to share the silence, or to celebrate finding your voice...
Come in peace.
All are welcome at my table.
