One of the things I used to emphasize when I taught weight loss classes was separating your life from your food. They really are two different things. Some people told me that mastering that separation was actually the thing that triggered them to staying on their path to wellness.Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12308631304554235792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9172726268459163555.post-14962555252052172672012-01-09T10:15:55.027-08:002012-01-09T10:15:55.027-08:00Yeah, that abstinence thing. sigh.
It occurred t...Yeah, that abstinence thing. sigh.<br /><br />It occurred to me the other day as I was reading a post that sort of railed against the idea of declaring oneself to be a food addict, that my problem has been that, while I have ID'd myself as a food addict, I haven't really believed it in a "saving knowledge" kind of way. I've continued, despite blowing smoke otherwise, to act as tho I am food normal.<br /><br />The result was not only a 35 pound weight regain last year, but the other day I already felt ice under my feet as I walked my food-sane path. :O "S'up with this?" I thought.<br /><br />I was eating appropriate food, I had no cravings, wasn't even hungry...but I could FEEL the slip approaching.<br /><br />It occurred to me that I had not done what this addict needed to do--instetad of confining my eating to three specific, one-sitting meals, I had spread my allotted food over the day. Cal/carb count was good equaled three meals worth, but that continual eating got my addicted brain thinking that we were having free reign with the food and I could feel it gear up.<br /><br />No binge happened. But I could hear it in the distance making its way to pay me a visit.<br /><br />So, the following day, I began the eat only at meals...really at meals. sigh. For me, that is abstinence. Eating three discrete meals and not overeating during those meals. Health issues require the gluten-free and low carb thing, the addiction requires that I do not eat outside of meals.<br /><br />I don't like it one bit. Feels like eating simply for nutrition's sake. Oh. Wait... Hmmm.<br /><br />Deb <br /><br />It's been hard, I have to tell you. But the ice is melting.<br /><br />DebAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9172726268459163555.post-341105501542239502012-01-09T09:48:55.063-08:002012-01-09T09:48:55.063-08:00OMG - again - me too!!!
