Breaking Up is Hard to Do

I’m at that age where I’m choosier about my inner circle and who I allow in the front row of my life. I truly believe not everyone belongs there and you should always surround yourself with like, positive energies and those who help you fulfill your true potential. This understanding comes from trial and error and requires maturity in order to recognize toxicities and the energies that can stray you from your path. In my desire to live a salubrious lifestyle, it is time to move anyone who opposes this goal to the back of the building if not all the way out. Starting today, my new journey begins, but I must first say “goodbye” to some old friends.

Dear Sugar,

Wow, we’ve had such a long relationship and boy does it show. There’ve been times over the years where I’ve even felt completely addicted to you. You are sweet and I recognize that all you’ve given me over the years is nothing short of fantastic, but our involvement isn’t healthy for me. I can no longer blame my desire for you on a sweet tooth or because I’m depressed or “that time of the month”. We will see each other here and there. I’m not leaving you for good; I just need to handle my business. I prefer to see you in fruit from here on out and not in all those other yummy forms I enjoy so much. I wish you all the best.

Dear Dairy,

You confuse me so much. On one hand, I feel like I need you. You provide some valuable things to my life, but I think we just need not spend so much time together. I think my bones would benefit better by a supplement and not the cheese filled Porto pastries or the sour cream all over my cheese enchiladas. Until I can learn to make better choices, I don’t want you coming over for awhile. I know I’ll see you during the holidays, so until then…take care.

Dear Carbs,

You’re a straight up whore. You get together with everyone else and completely mess with my life. You’ve been hanging around sugar and dairy and plotting to move me to a new size bracket. Well, I said my goodbyes to them and now to you too. I prefer the other side of your family anyway. The Browns treat me better… brown rice, whole wheat, etc. It’s hard to believe you’re even involved with the fruits and veggies. You usually only come around in the form of fries, donuts, chips, etc. Well, I rebuke thee in the name of Jesus. I have NO time for you. I’m spending more time with Gym now because of the damage you’ve done to me. He treats me better anyway. Peace out.


Dear Salt,

I know you make life tastier, but you also make my heart beat too fast. I can’t have you around that much anymore. You keep water trapped and contribute to bloating. I can’t completely cut you off, but I’m not introducing you to everybody the way I used to. Goodbye.


These old friends will be missed, but I have so many other positive people in my life. Deelicious fun is still the goal, but honestly, these people are like freeloaders or house guests that over stay their welcome. They needed to be checked. I will gladly let them move on and find others to make miserable. I'm not at my best with them around, most especially when they would all gang up on me. There are others on the cusp of getting a "dear john" letter, but for now, I'm just keeping them at bay.

Until next time...live young, live strong, live healthy.

Peace
