Sunday

Just popping in. I should be honest. I am not having a good two weeks. My eating has been terrible. If anyone has any words of wisdom, I would love to hear it. I just can't seem to get motivated.

Well oen thing you have to be aware of is, that you have to live with the choices you make.

Reality is, it takes longer to undo a bad choice than it does to make it. I mean if people could lose 1/2 lb of fat in a healthy way every 10-15 minutes, bad snacking would be a pleasurable sin, when you knew a brisk walk for 30 minutes would shift some Subcutaneous Fat, and make up for it in some ways, just like that.

You need to understand why you do this. You need to understand what drivs you to make these choices.

I obvbiously can't see what is the exact issue, so if I analysed your situation it could be

A: bad snacking.

B: Skipping meals

C: Having things you shouldn't, I.E. Sugar on Cereal, High Fat Dressings, Ice Cream in the Evenings, Piece of Cake with Dinner, etc etc.

D: Bad meal prep with no plan B, leading to hastily made alternative choices like take-away food.

I would say those 4, or a combination of the 4, are the main culprits, in lieu of no precise information, so you need to understand how hese manifest

If you buy junk, then don't use Cards, use money to stop making it easy for you ot buy stuff you shouldn't.

Money self regulates.

Easy way is to find an old shopping reciept, total up the good stuff you bought, then allowing for price fluctuations, give yourself about another $10 surplus on top.

If you have limited money, you can't buy junk, if you end up with a stright choice. Box of cereal or Tub of Ice-cream, because you tried to by a bit more food than you could afford.

Most people would put the Ice-cream back then.

If it's skipping meals, you need to be more diciplined. It's not good to do that, and you have to realise it will only be to your detriment in the long-term, and you need to realise that however you feel about a meal, even when you don't feel like it, sometimes it's a mind over matter thing.

I it's meal planning issues, you need to make sure you get them planned better somehow, or have quick alternatives for problem situations.

You need to start seeing food not neccesarily as a staple of life, but a way to help yourself achieve what you want. Eat right, and you make good on your wants.

There is no magic formula, or a way to psycho-analyse food, except to see food as a potential friend, and to realise when you make certain choices, can you live with the actions aferwards if they're wrong?

Good luck :-).
