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!
