This week has been a trying week - for some reason I
still can't get my head around only eating when I'm hungry! I have a
terrible fear of missing out when it comes to food, no matter whether I
am hungry, or have already eaten enough in that particular sitting, I
find it extremely difficult to say 'no'.
This week I have been trying to
go a little smaller in my portion sizes, because I know I often struggle
to finish my meals - my eyes are constantly bigger than my stomach but
just can't seem to leave anything on my plate! I figure at least this
way, if I have less on my plate and can't leave anything, it's better
than having a larger meal to try to complete! I have discovered that I
don't tend to be hungry in the mornings - so don't really have breakfast
unless it's a small snack. I can wait until mid-morning quite easily so
am really trying to focus on obeying my body.
Unfortunately,
this week my weight has stayed the same (but at least it didn't go up!)
but at least I know where I have gone wrong. STOP emotional eating!
My new mantra has to be - (insert food item I am craving here) is not
going anywhere if you don't eat it right now! I am not hungry that
often, so I need to pay attention and listen to my body in all it's
glory.
Looking forward to re-focussing this week and paying attention to my body!

This week was quite difficult and
I felt as if I completely lost my connection to myself and food. Suddenly
hunger and satiety were foreign to me. I was placed in unfamiliar situations and
I found myself giving in to old habits. Sometimes I am amazed at how I can just
mindlessly give up responsibility for my choices. My first excuse for
overeating was that the blog was making my journey public and thus putting
pressure on me. Second excuse? I’m sick. I need to eat all these things to help
fight off the cold. I feel so bad, I can’t even tell if I’m hungry.
Why do I lie to myself?
Basically, my issue was, and always is that I don’t trust myself and I don’t
trust the world or God to help me in difficult situations. Yet, the truth is,
and I have seen it happen before, we are all given to know exactly what to do
and when to do it. As it is always repeated to me: you need to let go. This week
will be about trusting myself and God (the universe, if you prefer) completely.
