Hey VFT & Chocolate Thunder Family
I know food is an inanimate object but our obsessions with food regardless if we are in a calorie surplus (eating more than what our bodies require) or a caloric deficit (eating less than the body requires), food obsession is a part of life for any who cares about, their health, physique or overall well being.
Regardless to our valiant efforts, many of us sufferer from: emotional, social, anxiety, frustrated, joyful, break-up, make-up, fearful, courageous, binge, secure, insecure, biological, psychological and numerous other eating habits influence our relationship with food.
Today I cam across an article that was a bit freeing in how I see and respond to food.
1. First of all, give yourself permission to eat–whenever you need to, regardless of the hour.
2. Cut back on calorie dense fluids (juice, sodas etc), so you can learn to distinguish your hunger from other eating triggers. Thirst vs. Hunger
3. Mix in realistic goals that match your readiness for change.
4.Spice up your diet with foods you really enjoy and see as forbidden. (Check out Ctguess78 youtube channel on “flexible dieting)
5. Add patience as you shift your approach and relearn how to eat again. It took many, many years to develop your unhealthy behaviors,
6.Don’t rely on willpower. Rather, avoid going more than 3.5 to 4 hrs without eating to increase control around food.
7. Pre-plan–even if you don’t pre-prepare, allow for flexibility and spontaneity. MyFitnessPal is a great tool even if you do not follow it perfectly.
8. Stop comparing yourself–your size, your food intake–with others.
9. I really like this one, “Try to be as compassionate to yourself as you’d be to your best friend.”
10. Add supports, such as friends and loved ones. (Check the CT Army their support got me a bodybuilding pro card and a few new friends.)
