Ok, most of the things I see for losing weight are focused on exercising. Maybe it's just what I see cause that is what I like. What I don't like is all the food prep. I could lie and say I'm doing well, but I'm not.
I seem to only see how difficult it is. Someone eating all 'my' food / someone buying a lot of junk and bringing it into the house / late night scrapbooking sessions with lots of food / cost of health food / food prep / logging calories / writing down what I eat...everything / etc...
What I need is an easy way to start. I have the workout part down pat, but how can I get myself away from the junk without doing a complete 360 and overwhelming myself??? Suggestions??
Hey Cheryl, sorry to hear your struggling with the food aspect (or so it seems) I can relate! However I don't think it's really about the food.
ReplyDeleteWhat I see when I read between the lines of your post is:
People are taking things away from me
What I'm doing now works for me
I'm willing to make excuses for my eating/behavior based on external forces
I am not worth the time/money/effort it takes to have the life I want
(calling you out because you know I like to do that!)
Get honest with yourself and it will happen but it does take time.
What type of eating plan are you following, if any? I like to shop around the perimeter of the grocery store. All fresh, clean fruits and vegetables, whole grains. No processed foods whatsoever. I'm not much for winging it in the kitchen, so I subscribe to Clean Eating Magazine, which has fantastic clean and healthy recipes. I also just subscribed to Vegetarian Times for more recipe ideas. Since moving to a clean eating lifestyle, I don't have sugar cravings and I don't miss all the junk food! The recipes are simple, quick and delicious!
