Hi -
There is so much here.
Good for you for wanting to change.
Here is a start.
**Change your relationship to food**
There are many, many things that food is not;
Reward
Friend
Enemy
Refuge
and countless other things...
One thing food is?
Fuel.
Food fuels the body.
There is a passage in Zorba the Greek where Zorba talks about the miracle of food. We put the food into our bodies and transform it into deeds and love and action and work.....
Food is a miracle.
**Food matters**
Food is fuel. Learn about it.
If you eat the food your body needs - you will have no cravings - none at all.
**Know what you are eating and why you are eating it**
Don't just think; "fruit is good, I'll have a piece of fruit."
Ask yourself, "where does this piece of fruit fit into my daily meal plan."
What is fruit? Learn.
Buy a scale and measuring cups - know what you are eating and why.
Do not reward yourself - fuel yourself.
YOU CAN DO IT!!!
YOU CAN DO IT!!!
(and you will be so proud and happy)
GET STRONG!!!
Eat to exercise.
Exercise to live.
BE HAPPY!!!
I am not a food militant but I am an athlete. Start running, meet runners, read about what athletes eat.
Diet and exercise.
Diet and exercise.
**Diet = the food we need each day to fuel our bodies.
**Diet = Eating - not starving.
**Diet = A way to go on living - not depriving.
**Diet = The food you eat - not the food you don't eat.
There is no end to your diet - there is no end point.
It is your new relationship to food.
Whew!! End of big preachy post.
