I would say this has been a good week. I'm feeling much more in touch
with myself, in terms of my hunger and emotions. I've been trying
really hard to focus on my hunger and satiety this week, and it's
worked! I've definitely eaten less this week, and when I've had the
feelings of 'I just want to eat' I have managed to put them aside and
distract myself with other things until I am actually hungry, which for
me, is a pretty big deal!
I've had all the so called 'bad foods'
that I tried to avoid before, but just in smaller quantities than I may
have indulged in previously, and for instance last night got thai
takeaways for dinner only to find I didn't need much of it to feel
satisfied, so put the rest in the fridge and finished it for lunch
today, when before I would have eaten it all, just because it was
there.
I'm feeling a lot more positive about the process, just hoping I can really stay on track and watch the weight fall off!
This week, I have lost another 600g :-) I'm now 76.9kg

I am really beginning to feel
free. I am not perfect in following the 3 principles, but I no longer beat
myself up; my success each day does not rely on an accounting of how ‘good’ I
was and how hard I worked out. It’s actually been 3 weeks since I participated
in structured exercise, 3 weeks since I monitored my every choice regarding
food. It is lovely to simply realise you are hungry and simply eat something
delicious.
Regarding my emotional eating, I
am beginning a new process this week. I have heard some wonderful things said
about how new lives, new opportunities and great joy involve a great deal of
risk and faith. Right now, I can only see one step in front of me. It’s a
challenge for such a control freak, and I sometimes turn to food to feel that sense of
control. It’s like having a best friend. She says she knows what I need. She’s
been so embracing, warm and comfortable, but now she holds me back. She’s
fearful and doesn’t want me to change.
This week, I am saying goodbye to
my destructive best friend: my ‘fat chick’ alter ego. She needs to move out.
I've just moved, and haven't had access to any scales this week... So it will be interesting to see what my results are next week.
