Haha, I was coming downstairs to grab something to eat for breakfast. Mom had left cream cheese and white bagels for all of us. I looked at it for a second and then muttered quietly "wussy food." I grabbed two cups of cheerios, a glass of orange juice, and a banana, with my calcium supplement.
So, to me, what is considered "wussy food?"
cakes
cookies
chips
french fries
chips
condiments
fried foods
white bread
cheese
frozen dinners
pizza
ice cream
chocolate
the list could go on, but you catch my drift.
Yeah they taste good, that is why we are so tempted to eat these whenever we are on a diet for example. That urge and temptation just creeps to us. So in a way, we "wussy" out whenever we succumb to our desires and indulge in these foods.
Now, we cannot fully avoid these foods. Cousin Bubba having a cookout? Sure, have a burger on white bread and some water with it. Going to have a dinner of fried chicken and biscuits at Aunt Jemina's? No problem, just pass on the gravy, and have yourself a water instead of a pepsi. MINIMIZE the "wussy" foods out of the diet.
We are what we eat, so eating crap all day is not going to have us performing optimally towards interacting with people, making good grades, etc. I stand by what I preach, for the longest time, I have stayed away from fast food, eating only at Chick-fil-a. My order at chick-fil-a consists of a Chargrilled Sandwitch with light mayonase and a cup of fruit, with water. Sounds bland eh? Well sure, after a while i get tired of it, but i know that I will look and perform better eating that than eating a fried sandwich with fries and a soda.
Right now, i am putting my focus more on household foods. Staying away from the sodas, cakes, cookies, and chips that are in the kitchen closet. It takes a lot of discipline, those foods just call out to us sometimes! But whenever i tell my self "wussy foods" I stay away because I know that I am NOT a wuss!
Minimize the crap, MAXIMIZE eating as natural as you possibly can. Cook with olive oil, buy a george foreman grill....food can still taste good without it poisoning your body. Just takes more effort and discipline, but in the long-run, our mind, body, and soul, will function much better.
