Movies that make you think!

Well I have been complacent in my diet lately and not making the changes that I need to make and I think that God smacked me on the head tonight. Last week in the paper I noticed that there was an interesting article on a movie premiere in the area at one of the local high schools. The movie was called Forks over Knives  and is a movie based on the whole foods plant based diets and two of the leading Dr's who have researched the good effects of this diet. We happen to have both books these Dr.'s wrote. The movie will be released in theaters on March 11, 2011. The screenwriter lives here in this area in the summer so a local deli/store sponsored the movie to be shown here first. It really drives home what this diet can and does do. So I am going to make a more concerted effort drop the things in my diet that I still need to get rid of. The personal stories through out this movie really drives home the fact it does work. But saying goodbye to oil, processed sugar, processed foods will be a chore and may take a little longer than it took to do the animal, dairy, and eggs. But this IS what I need to do. I am more convinced than ever. I see the Dr. Monday and get blood work done next week to see if just cutting out what I have will have made a change. I am sure it is not as big of a change that I will see once I have cut the other stuff out. So here I go to phase two, expect plenty of failures but in the end hopefully great success!!
