That's my aim. To loose forty two pounds.
I have been gradually putting on weight. Feeling uglier and uglier. Trying, trying, trying. But not really getting anywhere.
Have got my self some help. I notice much more that I eat occasionally because I am hungry but very often I am not hungry at all.
I have noticed I may be:-
- a little bit bored
- a little bit lonely
- a little bit low
- excited
- celebrating something small I have achieved
- celebrating completing a chore
- a little bit worried
- a little bit frustrated
- needing a little break
- needing a little reward
- offered food
- encouraged to eat
I will add to this list over time.......
The word "little" is often in there. I had heard of emotional eating but did not class myself as an emotional eater. However I can see that my emotions do not have to be BIG to make me want food.
Want food, think about it, anticipate it.
Find it very, very difficult to resist. Am I addicted? It feels at the very least an ingrained habit. A track that goes in once direction and I try to get off but end up staying on.
The track is a road to unhappiness and poor health.
