Hi all,
My diary is going to be a chance for me to say a few words every day to keep myself on track and really get to grips with the way I think about food. I'm not expecting loads of replies as it's purely an opportunity for me to get my thoughts down in writing so hopefully I can make a change for life!! Please feel free to read and if you want to comment you'd be very welcome.
So, my goal is to change the way I think about food and exercise. I am totally weight and body image focused, and I have been since I was about 12 yrs old. What I have never really thought about it my health and general well being. What this has meant in the past is that I've suffered from an eating disorder throughout my 20s and on top of that I'm still obese and not healthy even with all my focus on it.
Tomorrow starts a new focus for 2014. I want to forget about weight and appearance and focus on being happy and healthy. I don't want to make food and activity decisions based on calories. I want to make decisions based on what makes me feel good and happy. Up until now I have been a comfort eater so food does give me a short-term buzz,so I need to really focus my decision on the long term to help separate out my needs from my wants.
My new regime has loose rules as I need to create routine but there will be no restrictions as this will make me want to rebel. No strict gym routines, no banned foods, no weighing, measuring etc!! No thinking about calories.
I just need to make food and activity decisions based on, how will this make me feel? what is the short-term gain, what us the long-term gain. How will I feel in an hour, a day, a week based on my decisions.
Wish me luck!!
