Towards To Healthier Life

It's not that easy. Trust me. I mean to be more healthy, or actually eating healthy. Temptations are everywhere. Every time when I go visit my friends or where ever it's difficult. Well, I have made a decision that I'm not going to make a big thing or any thing about my "new" eating habits. But it is quite funny how I can taste sugar about everything now. How different way I'm looking at different food products because I know some facts about that now. It's funny how a new different world opens when you start learning something really simple and digging little bit deeper. I would like to tell the whole world about the things what I've learnt about nutrition but I don't want to be pushy or fanatic. Instead of that I want to be an example and if someone asks me how my skin has gotten better I will tell.

But boy it's not easy, to be sugar free. It's everywhere. Okay, I'm not completely out of sugar yet, but at least I am not baking anymore from sugar and trying to avoid it as much as possible. I get sugar cravings everyday but it's not that strong anymore. I don't get frustrated or angry anymore because of the cravings. And imagine, dark 80% chocolate tastes good for the first time of my life! That is something new. The funny thing about this sugar free trial is that I taste sugar better now. It has been only four weeks since I started to eat better without sugar and already I can feel that less sugar is enough and it's not even hard. I really hope that my tolerance gets lower and lower. The sad part of all that is though, that my dream was to have a bakery one day. But now it feels wrong to feed people something that is not good for them.

It is funny that I feel that I can't get enough information about sugar. I want to know more and more. I have read only three books for now and one of those is based on children and their eating. It is very interesting topic for me at the moment when I have to think about my baby and how I'm going to raise her. I love sweets, cakes and pastries. I also love baking. It has become such a big part of me. Now I feel that I've let my friends and family down when I can't do that anymore. Okay, I admit, I kind of got little bit obsessed about it. And I've realised that the biggest reason why I wanted to bake so much was that I loved people's reactions when I baked something. I loved to hear how good I was at baking and how happy I made people. I barely never ate my cakes or other things I baked. I wanted to try but I didn't want to eat them more, I just didn't feel like it. I was baking because I liked it and because of the endorsements (it's hard to admit but that's the truth). But everything changed when I got pregnant. I was baking because I needed to eat the cakes and all that sugar. But I'm glad that phase is over now. I'd still want to but I know what it causes so I don't do that.

It is also funny to notice how much calmer I have become about food. I don't need to think about that all the time. I know that if I don't get food in certain time I won't die. I'm not obsessed about eating fruits anymore. I don't need to count how many fruits I have eaten to get the vitamins I need. Or how many times I have eaten a day. I've become more relax and I feel so much lighter. I don't need to stress about it. How funny all of this might sound like but I think I have had some kind of obsession about food. Now when I know what is healthy food, how much and how often I should eat, life is so much more simple. The best part of all of this is that my husband loves the new diet. It encourages me so much to continue and find more healthy recipes to cook and I don't need to stress about it.

Cleaning the blueberries 

I can't wait to see the real results how the new diet works after I give birth. Right now I just feel tired and don't have that much energy because of the baby. But there are some results already that I've noticed about myself. My skin looks better and my stomach is not bloated.

What comes to the pregnancy, I'm ready for the baby to pop out. It's getting harder and harder to sleep and move around. I don't have much energy to do stuff. I even get more clumsy which is difficult to imagine after all that clumsiness that I already am. I've become so clumsy that I even fell with a bike.. Nothing dramatical happened but my hands are bruised and I got so scared is the baby ok, she is, I can feel how she moves around. But the clumsiness is frustrating. It feels difficult to get up from the bed, couch or anything comfy. And I don't say that because I feel lazy to get up from the comfy places (sometimes that too), but it actually is uncomfortable and sometimes even hurts my groin.

I have ten more weeks (at least) to go and life is getting more and more exciting. Looking forward the future. I'm curious to see how big belly I can grow. Never before been so excited to get bigger!
