Starting New Year's Resolution early.
Felt sooooo rotten when I woke up today: weight gain has been increasing apace, at an alarming rate, even though I am 100% low carb compliant.
Eating too much, though, and focusing on the wrong choices (eg too many sweetened treats, too much bread substitute, not enough plain ol' meat & veggies) Downright dehydrated, too. Definitely not listening to my body's own cues for satiety and well-being.
What I notice: When I feel rotten (e.g. from eating too much or too much of the wrong stuff), I compound the problem by eating ... more! Why? I dunno. Old habits & beliefs rearing their ugly heads? E.g., feeling rotten can be fixed ... by eating. What a dumb belief! But I seem to follow it unthinkingly.
New rule: Bad feeling (emotionally or physically) = bad eating (and reverse is true, too). Good feeling (emotionally or physically) = good eating (and reverse). If I feel rotten, I need to consider how what I'm eating is contributing to that, and ***just stop it.*** When I feel good, I need to acknowledge how good eating is enhancing that, pat myself on the back, and keep it up.
I waited much longer to eat this morning than usual, and when I did eat, it was just eggs scrambled in a little butter, along with my morning coffee.
I also drank lots of water instead of grabbing coffee/bfast first thing(amazing how I can let whole days go by where the only liquid I take in is coffee!).
I am horrified at my current weight, but I feel good right now. I intend to nurture that, as much as possible, through good, measured, conscious eating today.
