Food for Thought

Honestly, the word change: only one syllable, yet so many effects, good or bad. It happens whether we choose it and whether or not we feel in control of it. It's something you just have to learn to roll with the punches and adapt. I tell myself I want to change and live according to the consequences of my actions, but my actions as it relates to food are the opposite of how I've always made my decisions. I've always made my choices because I did not want certain things to happen to me and it has worked out so far. However, with food, I know certain things are bad, but I always choose them because I want them. My emotions always prevail it seems. Even so, I know one's choice of food determines many consequences of one's body and a person only has one body in their given lifetime. Then how, I ask myself, is it so difficult for me to make a decision that negatively affects the one thing I have and can never fully replace?
