Everyday I wake up and I mentally plan my meals for the day. Does everybody do that?
There are times when I am at my weakest point and I get tired of thinking about food all of time. I don't want to think about food. There are many more important things to think about ( my parents, my job, my friends, my future..).
Unfortunately if I don't eat there may be health consequences. :)
One of the most recent theories, that seem to be repeated in different articles, is that I am a food addict. Instead of taking that drink or toke I reach for the fridge or delivery menu.
It's about dealing with it one day at a time. It's not about worrying if you will make the right decisions tomorrow. It's not about obsessing about the mistakes you made yesterday. It's about making the right choices today.
Eat that healthy meal. Put in the tae bo cd.
Start again.
Food addiction is different from so many other addictions because like you mention you have to eat. The alcoholic wouldn't be expected to be a bar tender and serve drinks while staying sober. Even addicted smokers are now getting an alternative Ecigarette to smoke that doesn't do harm to them or others. What we need is an efood that has texture and taste that's harmless. Ok that's not going to happen, so we'll keep on doing our best with help from our friends at DTG and exercise. I don't know if it helps but you are not alone. Keep making those good choices.
