INTERVIEW Angela Simson
from The Gratitude Project
A
nge Simson has always been a positive person. She also thought she was a
healthy person. Even so, she suffered from debilitating migraines and after numerous treatments, specialists and medication she had an epiphany - you really are
what you eat. Her new awareness started to kick in after her wedding when she realised
she wanted to prepare herself for motherhood - after all, her cells would become her
baby’s cells. She slowly started to change her diet, listen to her body and heal herself
with good food and gratitude. The Gratitude Project was a way of sharing her story - her
food, her graciousness, her heart - and to help others realize theirs.
Q: Tell us how life was for you several years ago and
how it compares to now.
I was so young in my body and mind, I was really just getting by in life. I thought eating
healthy meant salad, juice and nothing more and it wasn't appealing so I never gave it
a second thought. I accepted feeling tired, unmotivated and in some form of pain at all
times. I don't respond to extremes and my journey has been at my pace and just as I
need it. I've figured out how to eat for nourishment and enjoy it immensely!
