This goal is Eco-Chic because it will help me cut down on my consumption of processed foods while increasing my consumption of locally grown whole foods. This reflects my desire to move away from foods with shady, unknown compositions and origins and closer to foods that're happy, healthy, and unprocessed.
This plan is important to me for a couple reasons. First and formost, I am overweight and I wish to return to a healthier weight. Over the course of last spring and this summer I've been on a diet of fast food probably 3-4 times a week. I am now 20 lbs. overweight and I feel bloated, gross, and ashamed of myself. By following this plan I will cut back on these fatty foods and be able to support my exercise regiment in an effective maner.
The second reason that I am doing this plan is that I want to become a better example of a health educator and promoter. I feel hypocritical because I currently seldom eat organic and healthy foods. This plan will help me form healthy eating habits so that I can lead by example with my friends and family.
