- and 900 days since I started this blog -
First off, props to my brother for noticing, and calling it (correctly) on my last visit.
Of course, I know the overarching reason why I have put on more than ten pounds since the end of 2012, and why I'm fifteen pounds heavier than my lowest recent weight, reached in 2011. I am eating differently.
I even know exactly which ways I'm eating differently. So I know how to fix the problem. But that is both an incomplete answer, and because of that, a superficial solution.
The re-phrased proper question is, "Why am I eating in a way that makes me fat?".
Much harder to answer.
One reason, for certain, is that I'm more bored at work, and busier after work, which means I stay up later, which means I am awake four, five, or six hours after eating dinner. So I get hungry late at night. Humans are 'programmed' or at least, predisposed to eat if they are up late.
Another reason is that I am missing the movement component - body movement that conditions the cells to use fat for fuel - and helps regulate our whole metabolism.
And yet another reason is that I still get emotional about eating.

I guess cheese is really not my friend. Despite yesterday's large quantity of food, it was all on-plan... except for cheese. I am despairing. I need to go back to basics. That means cutting out a lot of food that has become 'normal' for me: chia and hemp seeds, home-made mayonnaise, protein bars, maybe even protein powder. I have a lot of stock to get through first. That means, I have to be careful.

Give your stock of unwanted foods to a soup kitchen or a homeless person or if they don't have those in syracuse, then just throw it out. tart from scratch. Try to reduce frequency or quantity for eaying. Allow yourselfto feel the discomfort of feeling hungry until you can distinguish between munchie cravings (always short-lived) and genuine body needs. Force yourself to move or exercise your muscles and heart whenever you have a chance during the flow and movement of your day.Maybe you should stop weighing yourself and photographing your meals as often. It doesn't seem to still work for you. Love, andy
ReplyDeleteThe above are the simple and obvious steps that sprang to mind. I apologize for sending it. You deserve better and who asked me anyway? and hwat maakes me thiml i Can type? and what's does eating do for youbesides keeping you alive long enough to die?
DeleteI think that if you go back to what you were doing at the beginning (which, if I remember correctly, did include mayo) you will be fine. I don't think you solved the why do I eat problemmatically before you started and maybe you don't need to solve it now. Love you
ReplyDeleteIt's uncanny, but I can relate all too well. --Dan R.
