Had a wonderful lunch. Stewed lots of onions and garlic in a touch of olive oil (the trick is to cook them for a long time very very slowly) added pieces of turkey and chipolte peppers (canned). Put it on some rice. Oh my gosh. Yum.
You know when you go on a big hike and when you get there you pull out the freeze dried beans and raisins and they taste like the best thing in the world? I think this diet is kind of like that with me. I'm hungry. It's healthy. It's there. And it tastes so good! My taste buds are getting accustomed.
I've had a tough week emotionally and I can feel myself wanting to self-soothe..to calm ...to make it all better...by eating something and curling up in a ball and not moving. I can see it. That is a great victory right there. To be aware of my pattern. Wow.
Thank you all for being out there some where.
One day at a time.

Nice! You'll only feel the difference more and more.
ReplyDeleteAwareness, or mindfulness, is HUGE! it's so good to recognize those patterns - and so hard. i'm impressed!
ReplyDeleteYour lunch sounds awesome! Making a note of it right now...
ReplyDeleteAnd, yes, honey, we are out here...suffering/acheiving/learning right along with you!
Don't obsess over the pics week to week, just keep exercising and eating, you'll keep feeling better and lighter and stronger, then one day a few weeks down the road you'll look at your photostream and sway WOW...

ReplyDeletemmm yep your lunch sounds good! i dont think turkey is a big thing here. Im not sure if ive tried before actually. does it taste like chicken?
