I tend to get a little obsessive about things… I have spent hours and hours looking at the whole foods vitamins that I wanted to order for myself and the kids, as well as cod liver oil. I know what is best, but I wanted to spend as little as possible ordering them. So I would look at different websites, put them in my cart, then look at other websites. I literally have been doing this for days. Last night I had to step away because I was obsessing over it too much. Then while I was laying in bed, I started thinking… are these even necessary? Or am I just wasting my money and time? So today I spent more time researching the actual products, then went back to researching for the best price.
As much as I would love to say that I am perfect at eating and wouldn’t need any supplements, I don’t think that will ever be true (because, well, life is life). With how quickly our family got sick and how long we stayed sick this past week, I am more passionate than ever about keeping us healthy (we were all miserable!).
The better we eat (and the less sugar/processed foods), the better our immune system is. And the more we are consistent with cod liver oil especially, the better our immune system is… And these are great reasons to buy supplements. I’m actually going to be buying a fermented cod liver oil which will be even better for our immune systems!
But, again, I become obsessed quickly! It should NOT have taken me days to just order some supplements!
I have so much work to be doing on my house, and what am I doing? Sitting here researching and writing this post

Here’s to a new year of being “real!”

No wonder I like you so much even though we’ve never met! I am a similar kind of crazy
The research desire can almost be crippling. I have to stop myself from the same researching behavior over and over. I think recognizing the behavior is the important part. Stopping it takes time. I try to think about the value of my own time. Would I pay myself $5 for hours of research? No. Still, it’s hard to stop.
It is so hard to stop! I have my moments when it’s worse than others, but it can be frustrating. Of course, I want what’s best for my family, so the researching sometimes just takes over! Ugh. I wonder if I’ll ever learn
