Since the last two weeks of December this last year (2009), I said I wouldn't diet. I hate diets and they never work. I have a different approach to making myself better this year. 1. stop eating my feelings 2. see a counselor to address my past issues 3. give myself permission to eat what I want when I want it. 4. do this for me and me only.
By doing these things I am a happier person. Giving myself permission to eat what I want makes it easier to say no to them when I am looking for a food FIX. I feel like I am in control of my body. I can control what I eat. I am responsible for my own health. I have taken charge of me.
I am thinking of throwing my old pants that I can't fit in any longer and here is the reason for that. Looking at clothes that you can't fit into is depressing. Focus in on being happy no matter what size you are and when that happens things just start falling into place. I will buy new clothes as I go.
With the economy the way it is right now its hard for everyone to put your lives in order. I have been so caught up with everything else I have forgotten about myself. You are important. If you don't take care of you how are you going to take care of others? Take time to do at least one thing for yourself.( at the very least once a month). Take a bubble bath ( I like caramel vanilla its just so soothing and kind of kills the sweet craving) , take time to read a book 30 minutes out of 24 hours isnt much but can relax you. Just little things that count.
Hugs are a huge way to take away stress. Starting a blog ( also have a private blog for my private feelings) its very therapeutic for you. So if you find yourself wanting to eat and know your not hungry go blog how you feel. You will be surprised at what you can learn about yourself by just a little writing .
So stop dieting and start LIVING!
