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.
