It's blustery and cold here in the NE.....not a pleasant day out there. Very grey....leaves are falling all over...and 'peak' of autumn leave colors is over. It was gorgeous for awhile around here, though. (I live in RURAL NJ....not Newark! There's a farm across the street).
I feel GOOD this morning....lighter! I'm very happy and proud of myself and how I did yesterday....I kept to my calorie goal and that means I ate LESS than I have been, which means, hopefully, I'll lose weight this week. We shall see. Weigh in day is Saturday mornings. I'm keeping busy with my fingers on the computer, on Facebook, blogging and commenting and playing (stupid but they are addictive!) games like Candy Crush Saga LOL...
Hey, whatever WORKS, right? If I keep my hands and fingers busy and my brain occupied, that's 99% of the battle won, right there.
Otherwise.....boredom and too much time on my hands = wanting to EAT.
I used food for recreation.
I used it for stress relief.
I used it for pain relief.
I used it for 'revenge' when I was angry (??!)
I used it for.....EVERYTHING!
It's a total SEA CHANGE that has to happen, I think, in the way you handle LIFE, in order to get slim and STAY slim. You have to switch from 'living to eat' to 'eating to live'.
And even after 2+ years on my program, and reaching goal and then gaining a bit and now trying to get it back off again....even with all I've learned and all the changes I've made (and believe me there have been MANY!)....I'm still struggling with that.
I STILL think of food way way too often. Sigh....
Oh well. I'm a work in progress. As are we ALL, right? And the definition of being human means, we aren't perfect. We have lessons to learn.
Hope everyone has a peaceful, non-bingeing....Sunday!
