Is this how normal feels?

It's been a couple of months since I cleaned up my diet. And when I mean clean I mean squeeky clean.  A very high percentage of my meals have been cooked at home where I control everything we eat.  When I'm traveling it's tougher but far from impossible.  It just takes commitment and dedication to stay the course.  What also helps stay the course are the results that I'm feeling. Is this how "normal" feels?  

My new "normal" is devoid of inflammation, hunger cravings, bloating and gassiness and is replaced with high energy, mental clarity, weight loss, normal blood pressure and a calming feeling through my entire body. 

I'm starting to feel that our society wants us chronically ill.  How else could they sell us all the pharmaceutical drugs to "help" us with our health?  I'm starting to beleive that the huge multinational food companies must be partners or hold vast amounts of big Pharma stocks.  These big food companies don't care about my health, they care about profits at the expense of my health.  I've been lied to for so many years because these huge multi national food companies have paid lobbyist to direct our government to change our food guide to focus on their products. They've marketed to the people how eating their highly processed and poisoned food is what you need to be and live a healthy lifestyle,  looking at you Quaker Oat company. 

If what I'm feeling is "normal" then I've lived the majority of my life in a chronic state of abnormality. However it's never too late to make these changes to improve my life and I'm going to be staying on this path.  

Mediocrity is a funny thing that I've battled for a very long time and will do so for the rest of my life.  What I've come to realize is that I've now recognized it for what it is.  I've been able to reset when it raises its head.  I've been able to do this because I've allowed myself enough time to feel the positivity of my changes to my health.  Mediocrity is a daily, hourly even a minute to minute battle, it never takes a rest so neither can I.
