I enjoy reading your updates. I myself ha...Amelia. I enjoy reading your updates. I myself have struggled with food, body image for years! I weighed 298 when I was sixteen, my heaviest I've ever been. I went on a diet lost 60 lbs. in 3 months. I started doing drugs, binging and purging and my health deteriotrated. For years I had convinced myself that bread, cookies, ice cream was bad, and if I ate it, I was bad. I have come a long way, now weighing 219. After reading "the diet cure" which I highly recommend, I started to go gluten free, eat at least 20 grams of protein with each meal, and wow, I feel a difference. I have more energy and feel upbeat. I do recognize when I eat sugar my mood gets crazy...like emotional wreck. but hey, we live in a world where we celebrate with sugar! we get married-cake, we enjoy a birthday-cake, sugar is a way we celebrate. Its crazy. Sometimes I want to join in have a piece of cake, instead of feeling like a bit of an outsider or the 'one on a diet' so I DO enjoy a sliver of cake and sure why not some ice cream. :) I then watch and observe the way I feel. Not judging myself, or beating myself down. Just noticing what my body says. I look back on my own journey of health. How I've become more comfortable in wearing short sleeves. I always used to cover them up because I've got 'wings'. There is ice cream in the freezer, its been there for weeks! I used to binge on that stuff. I guess what I'm saying is lets be gentle on ourselves. We are spiritual beings in a physical body. It will take time to learn what works and makes our bodies sing. :) Heathernoreply@blogger.com
