confession...and a new start

I was thinking of starting a new blog but I changed my mind and will just continue with this one.  I am sure that if anyone reads this blog they would know that I have many issues when it comes to food.  I am a binge eater.  I find that I eat even though I am not hungry.  I can eat large quantities of food and not even really taste what I am eating.  I tend to try and do this in privacy.  I even eat foods that are not a 10 in my mind when it comes to taste.  I need to change, and change now.

I really feel that it is an addiction that I have and I have not really been taking it seriously.  The last couple of days have been really bad.  I felt unwell both physically and mentally.  I had a breakdown yesterday and it made me realize that I need to change.

I know what my trigger foods are and i need to stay away from them:

Kashi bars - not that bad but when eaten in large quantitiees they are
trail mix
chips - any form of chips
popcorn
chocolate - any type of milk chocolate
candy
cookies- any type
any type of white bread, pasta, rice etc
muffins
popsicles
cake/cupcakes
I think that anything with sugar in it is a trigger food for me and I need to avoid it.  I know I won't be perfect with everything but really with the list of foods above I do not need them to sustain my life and will do my best to avoid them.

I am starting this journey today.  I will try to post daily about how I am doing daily.
Today I have started off well.  I went for a 4K run and then I came home and had some greek yogurt with strawberries, kiwi and slivered almonds.  For lunch I am going to have some trukey chili from the eat clean diet cookbook.  I am going to have to go and get some groceries today so that I will have lots of options for healthy snacks.

I am going to get back to my healthy, happy weight.
