Probably an apt title considering I have been Volunteering at the 2014 Invictus Games Athletes training camp for 3 days this week, pre Games time. And the fact that today is the 13th anniversary of the Twin Towers collapse in the USA.
The athletes... all wounded warriors from various countries around the world coming together to compete in a selection of games.
Having spent 3 days with them, it is evident that they are happy when involved with comrades who understand them, who know what they are going through, and who accept them for who they are.
Many have struggled with their own identity after, having been part of the military, they had to leave without it being their own choice of timing to do so.
Truly inspirational and humbling experience, and felt very proud to be involved.
So where does this fit with food?
Well we discuss over and over with our friends and anyone that will listen sometimes, about the trials and tribulations of our food habits, and get the camaraderie of thinking via blogs and nutrition sites. We share a common bond.
I wouldn't dream of comparing those athletes struggle with our food issues, they do not even come close on the scale of 1-10.
Certainly nowhere near the scale of the guys who have overcome such struggle just to survive, and when you put it all into perspective, you just think........
We all know what we should be doing, let's just stop whinging about how difficult it is to do and get on with it.
