...or so they say. I am an emotional eater. There I said it. I think I have a food addiction, I say think because I'm not quite sure. I know I really, really, like to eat, particularly things I like...not things that are good for me.
I am currently reading a book on emotional eating and I'm getting the message in it...basically its this: only eat when you're hungry. WHAT!!! Holy shit, that's crazy. You mean to say I spent $14.99 + tax on this book to find that out...well it turns out, eating just when you're hungry is actually harder than it sounds. I mean...I'm conditioned to eat breakfast, lunch and supper at certain times...what if I'm not hungry then...do I really want to eat at 8:30 if I'm hungry then?? What about everyone always saying don't eat after 8 pm...or 6 pm, or...well you get the picture.
So I'm going to try this in conjunction with my Body By Vi lifestyle. My friend Stephanie has done her ninety day challenge on Body by Vi and she's now a distributor, she's lost 15 lbs and gained lean muscle mass and dropped inches...sounds wonderful. So I decided to try it...I am failing at it currently. Apparently for something to work, you actually have to do what it says...I have a shake for breakfast and lunch (or in my case for dinner, I eat lunch) then healthy snacks in between. Sounds easy right...well its not when you have no will power to say no to stuff that's not offered...or even stuff your walking by...like cookies put outside my cubicle at work. WHO THE F PUT THEM THERE!!!!!! I'm still looking for the culprit, when found I will sit on them till they plead for mercy, and believe me they will cause I'm currently f'ing heavy!!
I so had all intentions on putting my weight down in this blog, but I cant' seem to type it...I'll say this, its more than 150 and less than 250 lbs...there you go. LOL, maybe I'll be able to write it once I lose some weight...but not yet. That's going to take some serious guts on my part, to let it out...I can pretent right now, but once its written down here...its free for everyone to see. So bare with me, while I try to get my mind around that.
So this is my journey to weight loss...God Help Me...and everyone around me...oh and if you know who put those cookies outside my cubicle, let me know...I'll keep your identity anonymous.
I will be your FA Sponser my lovely Litzie! You can do this! We just have to get you into a routine. I don't know if I believe the whole "eat when you're hungry" thing, not in black and white anyway. You HAVE to eat at breakfast, lunch and dinner, in order to get the appropriate calorie and nutritional intake required to LOSE WEIGHT. If you don't eat those three HEALTHY meals (or 2 shakes and a healthy meal) your body will go into starvation mode and hold onto any fat it has! I agree, you don't eat when you're emotional, or bored, or because they are sitting outside your cubicle. That I do agree with! We can do this!! love ya!
ReplyDeleteThanks Steph. I'm really going to try, as I'm not getting any younger...though in my mind I"m only like...maybe 25
