Obviously it has been awhile since I have posted anything. Not too much to report. I have been trying--struggling, really--to overcome my tendency to binge eat when I am stressed. This is a problem because I am stressed a lot of the time. But, all I can really do is keep trying.
My mom has had a lot of success with her vegan diet, and frequently pushes me to do the same as her. I try to explain that I won't. I can see that it is working for her, but she had to hit her own point to do this. I mean, she has been overweight most of my life, yet she was 63 years old before she got to the point where she could put away her own poor eating habits in order to try this. I really want to lose weight, but I would prefer a more balanced and liveable approach, if I can accomplish that. I get stressed, and I turn to food, and vegan diet isn't going to cut it there. And, I use food in socialization, and there would be another big hurdle. So, not a diet plan for me, at least not yet.
So, I write my morning pages. I have been keeping a daily food journal. I have tried to keep up with exercise, which is admittedly a struggle for a lot of reasons. But, I keep on and I haven't given up.
I think a lot of aspects of my life may change in the future. So, it is one day at a time, one change at a time.
Thanks to you all for sharing your own thoughts and struggles on our shared weight-loss journey.
