Lose weight the fun way.

Hey guys,

I've really been thinking about my relationship to food a lot lately. I've been trying to juice and eat healthy but struggle with doing so often. My husband tempts me by taking us out to eat and I struggle to remember to eat well and do portion control! I think about food constantly and have decided that it really is an addiction. I've tried many times before to eat better but then I say "I'll start tomorrow". Then, tomorrow comes and I say again, "I'll start tomorrow". I've always wanted to lose weight but I LOOVE food. It's such a part of my life. It's how I spend time with my friends and family. My family eats out probably at least 5 times a week..they drink multiple sodas a day..and eat dessert whenever they feel like it! This has been a hard habit to break, but I am trying to slowly! I don't want my son to grow up with the same addiction to food. It's like I spend most of my day thinking about my next meal..what I'm gonna eat and where. This can't be healthy, but it has been my life for so long! Now, I find myself thinking about food all day again, but it's more like "ok. what CAN I eat that won't make me gain weight" lol. My thinking is changing but I'm still thinking about food often! I'm sure many of you also struggle with this "addiction". Overall, diet bet is helping me make healthier choices and change the way I think about food. Yay! Keep up the good work, guys! We can do it!

I think eating out and drinking your calories are the two major problems for a lot of people. If you love food, I think there is a good chance you might love cooking as well. And it's way easier to control what you eat at home than when you're eating out. Because willpower is overrated. So try to control your environment. Good luck to you. :)

I can sooo relate to this bloggie post! Awesome. Way to go at looking at your relationship to food. Keep it up!Seeing food as fuel has been helping me. When I am OBSESSING about food, I have been noticing it is because I am hungry. Eating smaller bits more often has helped me. Also, I have not consciously done this, but I no notice I ask "will this help or hurt" when I think of food. Most times just changing the recipe and dropping unhealthy items (cheese for example) satisfies my craving without the extra calories and guilt. I thought I could not live without cheese, but other than light cheesesticks, I haven't noticed it missing. We can do this, Shanna. We can DO this!
