It's safe to say that I have never been a "skinny" person. I've always had curves and I don't think it's even possible for me to ever be a size 2. Some people just aren't built like that or at least that's what I've always told myself. I have tried my hand at at least a dozen diets.
My relationship to food has always been bad. I often turn to food for comfort and it's not carrots and grapes that I go for. I love carbs and greasy food!!!!!!!!! They are just so yummy when I'm depressed and I just can't help myself. Food will obviously never solve a problem I'm having so why I am I so prone to eat them when I'm feeling down? I guess it's a quick fix and it's easy to get so I just do it. Then I feel like utter crap because I've been weak.
At the beginning of the year I was doing really great at eating healthier and not splurging as much on high fat/ high calorie food. It's the best feeling to lose weight! As soon as something bad happens though I turn right back to comfort food. I haven't yet perfected the skill of not eating what I want when I actually want it and it's so frustrating. Why don't I have the will power to just say no or grab an apple instead?
I have learned that healthy food can be just as delicious when prepared correctly. Once again I'm going to give it my all to drop some much needed lbs. I don't want to be unhealthy for my next 30 years.

ReplyDeleteI agree! Foods high in fat, sugar and sodium literally have the same effect on our brain as drugs. It's no wonder that's What we crave and reach for when down.
