Markttag! ... or: take care of yourselves.

This drawing is dedicated to my husband Simone and to our decision to change our eating habits!

 Many things have been changing in my life over the past three years. Three years ago, my husband fell ill, he was diagnosed with cancer and has been fighting it since then. He is doing a marvellous job in still being himself - which I think is very hard to do, considering the pain, the many doctors treating you like some kind of machine to repair, the fear, the anger and all that. So ... we are still a happy couple, a happy family, and I don't want to complain! Life has been hard many times, but life is hard for everybody.

Of course we knew right away that eating healthy food is important - don't we all? However, it took us three years to finally take a strong decision about it. To seriously take care of ourselves. It's still a process, trying to convince our children that whole grain rice is actually eatable, trying to convince myself that cookies are not part of the basic foods ... but we are on the way! :)

Here's the rule of thumb: as soon as you notice that something is bad for you - don't do it again. Don't eat, drink, whatever it again. Ever.

Easy, right? ;)
