Renewing My Mind
Posted: Tue Jun 17, 2014 9:19 pm
Hello,
I am your classic yo-yo dieter. I have tried it all!!!! I am also a binge eater. I am here looking for a new method. I need to change how I think about food. I need to change how I see my body and value. I need to just eat and let my body do what it needs to do. I don't want to let food or a quest for weight loss control my life anymore.
After reading up on various ways that people lose weight without super ultra restriction, I have come to the conclusion that a moderate approach will be much better for me in the long run. I don't want to focus too much on my numbers. I have let them dictate my value for too long. I will say that I am about 30-40 pounds overweight. Right now I wear a size 12. I want to make this journey to a new mindset without the scale. I can easily tell when my pants are getting too tight and when they have loosened. I will let that be my weight loss indicator.
My goal is really to be committed.
So I have told myself that I commit to:
Eating 3 meals a day with no sweets
Enjoying a sweet on S-days
Exercising at least 3 days a week for at least 10 minutes. Increasing my frequency and time slowly.
I don't know that I can get much simpler than this.
We have 197 days left in this year. I don't want to waste another one worrying about food or my weight. I am renewing my mind!
