Oh day 3 how glad I am to know that you are pretty much over! Today has been a pretty uneventful day. Besides the beast growling at me in my stomach thinking my throat has been cut off! Back off beast...I'm only eating for one so get used to SMALL portions. Pretty soon he will hibernate and all will be well and the growling will stop. Downed my required 8 glasses of water before 3 pm so everything I drink now is just bonus. (can you believe I just said that? Me either. I must have water on the brain).
I can make out that I have ankles now not just cankles; which i have only ALL the water I have been drinking to thank. I wish water drinking could help the swelling around my neck, arms, thighs and stomach as well; but alas it takes more then that *sigh*. A girl can dream can't she?
I have had food on the brain today and I just realized that the magizines I get are all food magazines. Hmmm that can't be good. I have a feeling if I read them that they will look so good I will start to eat the pages. I know they won't taste anywhere near as good as the actual food but i don't think I would be able to stop myself. Can you just see it; my life coach walks in on me with pages sticking out of my mouth with a glazed guilty look on my face....can we say intervention required! (Drop the magazine and walk away angela, just walk away!) Sigh...Have you ever thought of food as a drug? Unfortunately it is, and the worst part about it is you can't avoid it. We need it to survive; but the relationship we have with it needs to be a working one. Not one of love and comfort. With a relationship like that we allow it to creep in and fill in all the space that is left in our brains and bodies and emotions.....not ok! Food is survival not emotional. Say that 10 times fast. I used to think I was the ONLY emotional eater; because there is no way that there are others out there who could possibly be suffering from the same issues as I am. Like for real, I am ALLLLL alone. Reality check Angela, others fight with food too.
To all of you food fighters....I hear you, I feel you, and I know what you are going through. Lettuce..(hahah) unite!
Love angela
