Guest guest Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 Hi, I just wanted to share my good experiences so far with you guys. When I first decided to really give this a go in December I was dealing with a lot of fear issues; fear of different foods, of gaining weight uncontrollably if I let myself eat what I want, of trusting my body etc etc. So I told myself just to do it until the start of the new year and then look back and make a decision after that, as nothing 'bad' could happen in that short space of time. Over those few weeks my fruit consumption decreased dramatically (from 6/7/8 pieces a day to 1/2 pieces - fruit was always a 'safe' food), my cake and sweet and cheese consumption increased hugely but guilt free, and I found myself eating a lot more often but not getting to that light headed I must eat everything in sight hunger. And I was a lot happier and more relaxed around food, even at the Christmas dinner table which is a first for me for a lot of years. Today I suddenly realised that not only has my new year 'deadline' passed, but it's a week passed, and I hadn't noticed! I'm still feeling a bit of the fear every now and then, but mostly just when I eat something 'new' (like yesterday I ate my first mars bar for about 8 years) but I just try to talk myself round it. And as for all my fears about uncontrolled weight gain... I looked in the mirror this morning and I don't look any different! Thanks for all your help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
