Eat only what my body needs to function at its best

The benefits have been fanastic….I feel alive! I don’t feel weighted down in either a physical or psychological form. I am going to keep doing this…..1 week down, forever to go :)

I may have only been watching what I eat and reducing my caffeine & sugar intake for a couple of days, but my body really seems to be responding positively – apart from a minor headach, I haven’t felt “wired” at all.

Happy with the progress so far….as it can only get better.

I am starting back on the weight watchers points program tomorrow….I have all my lunch and snacks packed so I can’t have an excuse to buy anything. This will help me to stay in control because I haven’t been of late which has assisted in the winter weight creeping on after I lost 5kgs. I will be 5kgs lighter in no time….esp with the exercise plan in action. Feeling good about this.

I am getting really excited at the prospect of starting this goal. I found that when I was at uni I had way too much time on my hands to think about food, or eat whilst I was studying. I would get nervous about typing a report so I would just eat. Not good…I have put on a few kg’s. So, now that I am working, I figure that I can control my food more by preparing it the night before. I never really ate “bad” food when I used to work full-time because I was usually too busy, so I really see this as a new chance to start again. I am even contemplating going back to weight watchers where I easily lost 5kg’s. My best friend is doing it at the moment, and she only works a street away from me, so we can easily be each other’s support – which will be so cool.

I feel like this goal is going to be continual….I just can’t see at the present moment the point at which I will just be able to eat what my body needs. I have always been a comfort eater and have found that since returning to uni all my insecurities have resurfaced and I eat to combat them. I am even eating after dinner when my partner is on the phone to whoever…it is my guilty secret. I hate it, I feel like I am back in highschool where it all began. I have even thought about going to overeaters anonymous, but don’t know if I would fit in or am emotionally ready. If I had my way, I would step out from my world for 6 months, go to a retreat and just really focus on myself and my issues.

I have seriously sucked at this! I just don’t know how to stop comfort eating. Maybe my new found resolution to hit the gym might pull me back into line? Here’s hoping.
Cheers
