While I have only 4 days left of my 30 day challenge, I think I'll make it 60. I don't feel I've accomplished enough. Yes, I've lost 10 pounds but I am still turning to food for comfort. Just better food I guess. I'd like to turn that comfort food gives me to something else. Exercise, sewing, SOMETHING.
I still want to improve my lunches and snacks. Cheese is starting to disagree with me. Sigh.
Cope... at Carter's birthday party I brought a piece of chocolate and roasted almonds for my cake. Did the job. I ate only the topping of the pizza. Felt impolite but ah well.
Planning... with everything planning always makes an event go over without a hitch or less hitches. So that's what I need to do with food.
I always knew food was a powerful force but with my changes, it showed me HOW intertwined food is in my life. Every outing... food. IF no food, thought of food. Emotional eating. Socializing. What do you do.. go for coffee and a treat, dinner, lunch.... and if you are out, you don't just want boring fare, you want something gooey and good or soemthing you don't normally have.. you are out, it's a treat. Perhaps this is just me. To go for a piece of broccoli or pineapple just doesn't MENTALLY cut it. It comes down to MINDSET.
So I guess the next 30 days will be mindset changing.
Though I do want to have some processed foods to see how they taste. NOT because my challenge is over, but to see how my taste buds have changed. I know already how something have changed, an apple and red pepper are very sweet and sometimes I cannot eat a whole apple.
Must go... I've irritated my back and sitting is aggravating it. Another challenge....strengthen my core!!!!!!!!!!
