Lessons from a Rotten Pear


I got through my first clean eating day.
Some may think that is funny - but for me - the hard part is not licking a spoon or eating an extra bite.
Even when I was losing like crazy last year I privileged myself by a 'foodie gift'. A cookie because I was a good girl that week, but not placed in my caloric budget.
This morning I grabbed a pear for my mid-morning snack.
I sliced that beautiful sweet luscious fruit with a small knife to find a very grey mattery icky inside. UGH!
Going to the back door of my office I tossed it out to the birds, sat down and sulked at the loss of my 'fix' but then I thought about it a little more.
This is more than a body fix for me - this is not a chance to gloat over another, or to feel better than anyone else. This is not going to be ego boosting in a negative way - this change of life is going to be just that - a change of life. I know some people don't get that.
I want to be just as sweet, real and generous inside as the outside. This is an internal growth as well as an external.
Because - we will know each other by our fruit. Yeah?
