Choices
Aug 01, 2012
I love all food. I don't have any dislikes, well except for lima beans, so it's a matter of choices. I could just as well eat a peach as a bag of Doritos. I could eat a plate of veggies as well as a donut. So, why do I make the latter choices at times? I can pass on ice cream, every time I eat it, I think why, this isn't that great, I could have left it, but didn't. I wish I could get my head wrapped around the idea that I have to think before eating. I want to work on this, I have to work on this if I want to succeed. I have finally realized that I am an individual that must take every food item into consideration BEFORE consuming. I wanted to be one of those people that doesn't really have to watch it all , not have to worry, eat what I want etc. etc. Reality, I am not one of those kind of people that can do that. I have to watch, calculate and make sure I am eating to fuel with the right kind of food.Having said that, I need to really practice this. I have to stop blanking out when I reach for food. I have to eat smart whether it's a night out with friends or a snack from my pantry. All of this must get permanently planted into my brain before my surgery and the little voice in my head stop saying that I will start when the surgery happens. It needs to start now and I need to really try. So today I am spending time thinking, before eating, keeping my plan of food on my counter and really getting down to the business of taking care of my health!
