Paula, it's been a struggle. First I had to overcome binge eating but realize that I ate because I was tired and bored. Then I had to learn to WANT the healthy foods. I couldn't stand a life of wanting foods that I either had to deprive myself of or feel guilty for eating. That's been the longest part of the process: to actually WANT an apple and NOT WANT cookies , etc. I want to be happy and not always feeling like I'm stuck eathing this but I'd really rather have that.
Last week was the first time when I/we thought about ordering pizza and decided to and then decided we didn't WANT pizza. Threw on a couple of chicken breasts, had garden green beens, some broccoli with peach for dessert. And I haven't thought about pizza since.
It has been a very slow process, almost 10 years, but it's finely starting to take. For the first time I don't think of being on a diet or ending a diet. I don't see me ever going back. |
Wow, you really have changed, and not just your eating habits but your mindset about food. Good For You! I ate much better when the kids were still in the house...I was setting an example that became our lifestyle. I need to get back there again. I used to have an apple for a snack every day...though I sliced it and dipped it in peanut butter...and I used to eat a kiwi or two every day too. Don't know when the last time I had a kiwi was, it's been years.
Keep up the good work!!!
