eat to beat

As I sit here this morning, I am realizing how lucky I really am. The support I have is astronomical! Everyones concern fills my heart. I am on day 3 of the chemo pill, and am wondering why it's so easy. I haven't had any side effects yet, and am still feeling great. I had fun yesterday creating new meals for my family. I get really excited when my "picky eater" daughter likes the food I prepare. Well one out of two isn't bad. I have also found my youngest daughter, Christine is eating much better also. It's amazing how effortlessly they can change. I think this is the most important thing I will ever teach my children. How to eat, to beat.... any future problems, how important food is, and what we do to our bodies. I've always told them they need to eat their meals, but in all honesty I don't think sitting down and watching a movie together and pigging out on chocolate and chips was a very bright idea. Everything happens for a reason, and I won't miss the boat this time!
I am suprised that I don't have any side effects, it's like you wait to see what will happen next. I actually find myself ignoring my own body and it's cues. This is a transition in itself...learn to listen and respond what you really already know and what your body is telling you.
