Something shifted last week...

[Guest guest]

I started the week feeling really resentful and rebellious about eating

consciously. I had a headache for 5 days straight and just wanted to eat quick

convenience foods while vegging in front of the TV after work.

I gave myself permission to eat what I wanted and ate a lot of snack foods and

chocolate bars for the first few days... then I started feeling crappy (wheat

REALLY upsets my stomach) so I started wanting healthier foods and gradually as

the week progressed I found my appetite waning and my food choices were

naturally improving... Yesterday I spent some time doing food prep and have some

good lunches and dinners ready to reheat.

The last two or three days I'm finding I'm not obsessing about food and the

intrusive thoughts about weighing myself are diminishing. Phew! I've been just

eating when I am hungry and taking what I truly think I can finish... sometimes

I finish it, sometimes not. I like this!!

Isn't it amazing... how when we finally give up control... that we find out that control wasn't needed in the first place? that our bodies and minds actually know what they are doing???good for you, April, for trusting yourself to go through this experience! and congratulations for getting to experience the payoff!

I can totally relate to this April - I also at times get into that resentful/rebellious place.

Great to hear that you worked through it - good for you!!
