Last night was another session with Jayne and my trainer Cary. There
was another woman that was part of the session (we're doing team
training so it's us and at least one other person every week). We were
talking about food as a group and Cary mentioned that we need to start
eating to live not living to eat. The other woman piped up that she's
totally doing that because she doesn't like anything she's eating.
That
got me thinking. I can do that for a while, but I can't sustain that
mentality. I totally get eating to live, that's fine. But how can you
possibly be happy long term if you don't enjoy at least some of what you
eat? Isn't that what's failed us in the past, not making long term
lifestyle changes? I feel like if you limit your intake to things you
don't like, you're more likely to cheat and feel bad about it. At least I
know I am! I would rather take the advice and make it fit what I want
to eat.
Life is too short to go through it never
enjoying what you eat. Maybe it is part of my problem and the fact I'm
an emotional eater, but I refuse to go there. I'll find my happy medium.
I have to so that I can be both healthy AND happy!
