Default When does it get easier!?

Hi everyone,

So I was wondering, does anyone else have this same problem? All I do is think about food all day long, alot of the times so much that it makes me hungry even when I am not. I think about what I could be eating, what I am not eating, and unless I my mind is occupied with something else that is all I think about.
Will that ever end? Does anyone else do this?
Thanks for reading!
Stacey

Stacey, I do have days like that. And I used to feel that way every day, so I hear you.

Because I'm changing my eating patterns with my new program (three meals plus three snacks), I think I'm focusing less than I used to on food. I know I can eat every couple of hours, and my body doesn't go into starvation mode because I've missed a meal.
When I do think about food now, I'm less inclined to think about my old favourites (chips, chocolate, etc). I just don't want to put that crap into my body anymore. I'm exercising and I'm losing weight, and I'm feeling good about myself. I don't want that feeling to stop, you know?
Yesterday I had a bad day when I heard that a good friend had died, and I ate six chocolate popsicles and two little meatpies. Solace.
But I added it to my food journal, and I'm moving on today.
Right now, I can feel the ache in my stomach and my sides from doing sit-ups, and I like that feeling!

I think if you can try to focus on your body and its needs, it can become easier. Think of the food as fuel, not a reward. I know it's hard, but I think it's possible... you can do this, hon.

Ellis,

I am very sorry to hear about your friend.
Thank you for your input, I am sure you are right and I think of food as a reward, which after years of overeating that would be so true!
I hear you about the aching body, my arms are killing me right now, I did my circut training workout two times through yesterday with weights and my arms are telling me off today
Good for you and the exercise, you have a great positive attitude!
Take care,
Stacey
