Building a Good Relationship With Food

Falling in Love With Food

I remember that when I started and successfully lost 85 lbs that I was fascinated with the idea of loving food. Like many with weight problems, I always thought food was the enemy. Actually addiction was the enemy. This year I have come to realize that whatever the source of the addiction, my response to sugar and hunger is extreme. I've embraced all of the theories over time -- and I now believe that obesity is a multi-faceted disorder, impacted by the U.S. diet and the body's response to it. I crave sugar when I am stressed. I eat too much of the wrong and seductive foods. Thinking it is not my fault or it is my fault -- thinking it is an addiction or that my body is hijacked by processed and fast food -- thinking I am just going to be fat or that it is too late -- all of those thoughts are not worth thinking. The goal of losing weight is health and mobility. When I got into the "groove" that I didn't maintain; I had a few rules. I exercised 3x a week. I didn't weigh myself or own a scale. I used to weigh myself every few months in Bed Bath and Beyond. I ate a balanced nutritionally dense diet. I maintained awareness of nutritional density and of low glycemic choices. I ate 5-6 times a day. I kept my calories at 1200-1300. And I maintained awareness. I fell in love with food -- added new foods to my diet -- things I had not eaten before and I worked at loving my food and savoring it.

Since I have changed jobs and regained some weight, I've become searchingly honest about my responses to fatigue, movie theaters, stress, anger, and skipping meals. I've made a terrific gain in getting enough rest every night and staying detached from stress. I've been gaining and losing and regaining the same 5 lbs. It has become a pattern.

Now it is time to focus on losing weight and achieving my goal. I have a comment from Sean Anderson on this blog which says more than anything I could say -- he talked about making a permanent change on a deep and permanent level. I confess that I have not really believed that such a change is possible. But Sean stands out as someone who faced the bottom of a food addiction and has changed on a deep level. If you haven't read Transformation Road, order it and read it!

I am going to throw out the scale today and return to the success strategies which worked for me before. Tim and I are going to do strength training today and I am going to do 30 minutes of gentle walking on the treadmill. I have to work out a 3x a week schedule for both cardo and for strength training. And I will blog each morning before I start my day.

Tim will join me from time to time with comments. Pushing the restart button -- one, two, three -- RESTART!

  1. Keep up the hard work! One thing I’ve found to be extremely helpful and useful as a supplement to my current diet/exercise plan is Fullbar (www.fullbar.com). Not only do their products help you lose weight, they also help you maintain your weight loss.

  3. I was having a boyfriend. We were known for long time only through phone. Suddenly through some event we met together and we promised we will be together for ever. Both of us are married and not satisfied with the present spouse. But because of some misunderstanding I quarreled with him and humiliated him in front of his friends. After that I realized my mistake and apologized with him like anything. He told me he will try to forget everything. After that we met once and he promised me everything happened because of misunderstanding and now we will together for ever.But after that we never met each other. when we plan to meet some hindrance will happen then it will stop. Also no proper communication. But for me he is my everything. He is the only one who gave such a good satisfaction in my life. I wanted him. I wanted him to meet me, to have sex with me, love me everything. He is very good.and l know He was made for me. But some hindrance keep keeping us apart. i tried to get close to him but nothing was working out until one day i heard about a spell caster called prophetharry@ymail.com, i decide to try his love spell and definitely it worked out perfectly for me, it never took time for the spell to start working, after some few days this guy i am loving came to me and wanted us to start dating, we are in love now, our lover is so tight that nothing can brings us apart, this love spell is wonderful

  4. After i and my lover spent about 4 years together, my boyfriend told me that we can not be together. and already We were making ready ourselves to get married this year and I was very happy and absolutely ready to marry him. this breakup started when he went a little far from the city where I live, a year before. He found a good job out there. And he promised me to come back in one or two years. In the mean time, I found a job around his place (we take it as a good opportunity for us to start living together) but the company I worked for resist to leave me since i am a responsible person in the company. They offered me a very nice salary increment with huge responsibility of work. Then I told to my boyfriend I preferred to stay where I live and work, since, he has not a plan to live there forever. He was very upset at the moment and ignored me totally. I tried to contact him but I can’t. Following so much effort he sends me a message saying “our relationship is over”. I never expected such a thing to happen, so I got sick. Even after so much begging he allow me to see him, but told me the same thing that it is over. I asked him the real reason. He said, you never listened to me, you never gave me credit, and you disrespected me…..and so on. I never noticed such a thing in our relationship before, so I got shocked and couldn’t say a word in front of him. For me our relationship was perfect. And I really love him. I want to be with him. I send so many letters saying I’m sorry, I tried to contact him but there is no reply. i did everything to attract him and live with him forever but nothing was going through. so I needed a help on how to get my lover back. I had the feelling that he still loves me, though he did not say a word. I needed help seriously. i thought it will never possible to get him back and be the happy couple again? so when i read testimonies about prophetharry@ymail. com i contacted him and he told me that my case is a simple one to solve, so after his consultation and casting of his spell my boyfriend emailed me telling me he was sorry for all that he did to me, that he is ready to marry me now, i was shocked, i never believed that prophetharry could make such thing to happen with his spell, today i am getting married to my boyfriend, and i will never forget this spell caster i will always talk about him anywhere i go

I want to inform you all that there is a spell caster that is real and genuine. I never believed in any of these things until i loosed my boyfriend, I required help until i found drmarkrobbinspelltemple@yahoo.com a grate spell caster, And he cast a love spell for me, and he assured me that I will get my boyfriend back in two days after the spell has been cast. two days later, my phone rang, and so shockingly, it was my boyfriend who has not called me for past 10 years now, and made an apology for the heart break, and told me that he is ready to be my back bone till the rest of his life with me.

  9. My name is Laura Robin i read some testimony about Dr PALOMA on how he has helped them in bringing back there ex within 48 hours i was just thinking if that was real, I never believed in love spells or magic until i met this spell caster once when i went to Nigeria in February this year on a business summit. I meant a man who’s name is DR.PALOMA he is really powerful and could help cast spells to bring back one’s gone, lost, misbehaving lover and magic money spell or spell for a good job or luck spell .I’m now happy & a living testimony cos the man i had wanted to marry left me 4 weeks before our wedding and my life was upside down cos our relationship has been on for 4years. I really loved him, but his mother was against us and he had no good paying job. So when i met this spell caster, i told him what happened and explained the situation of things to him. At first i was undecided, skeptical and doubtful, but i just gave it a try. And in 7 days when i returned to Canada, my boyfriend (now husband) called me by himself and came to me apologizing that everything had been settled with his mom and family and he got a new job interview so we should get married. I didn’t believe it cos Dr PALOMA only asked for my name and my boyfriends name and all i wanted him to do. Well we are happily married now and we are expecting our little kid, and my husband also got the new job and our lives became much better. His email is: palomaspelltemple@yahoo.com
