Yep, I want to hear every juicy detail of...dinner! From the appetizers, main course and then that sweet sultry dessert. I want to EAT vicariously through you. And I will sit there, hanging on your every word with envy.
I could have just eaten a 5 course meal and be more stuffed than I have ever been... but that does not stop the thought of food in my head constantly. I still think about food, see food and want to check it out, talk about my next meal or just sit there and wait until I become a little less full so I can finish my dessert. Yep, food is a constant thought.
I could be at a circus or some other totally cool event with action and chaos surrounding me but that does not stop me from spotting out the food! I particularly love me some circus and carnivals because they ALWAYS have funnel cakes. I think about the funnel cake the entire ride there and that is the first thing I look for when we arrive.
I am not sure that I will ever "think" like a skinny person, that there will ever be a day that a piece of chocolate cake crosses my path and I don't give it a second look. Until that day arrives, it is a constant battle of putting that fat girl inside me at bay.
Some tricks I use at doing this:
1. I try to not let myself get too hungry. I try to eat about 6 small meals a day. Spreading my food out throughout the day helps so much because mentally I always know more food is coming soon!
2. I try to replace the fatty foods I know and love with healthier versions that taste just as good(Or even better). I love to cook so this helps a lot. I also love to share my recipes on my blog so check them out here.
3. When going to an event where I know there will be lots of fatty foods I LOVE... I make sure to eat something healthy before I go. Something high in fiber or protein that will keep me full. I don't totally deprive myself from trying the yummy foods, but I limit myself to the two bite rule. The first and last bite of something is always the best anyways, isn't it?
These are a few things I do that helps curb my fatty. I would love to hear more! What are some of the tricks you use?

ReplyDeletePlease be kinder to yourself. I have read that sugar is 4 times more addictive than cocaine. The fact is, it tastes good and I know many healthy skinny people who eat the junk too. We just have more issues with it, not everyone is the same and our genetics does play a role. For me, it isn't just about the sweets, it is about the wheat too... wheat as it turns out crosses the blood brain barrier and it addictive too. Think about the billions in dollars that has gone into advertising sugars, corn, and whole grains to you over your life time, how did we ever stand a chance really? The key, educate yourself over and over and so when you do give in, you know the poison your eating well and you get back to your goals without looking back!
ReplyDeleteThat is SOOOO me. I've always felt ashamed that I've been addicted to food. I could be on a date with Brad Pitt, and I would be more interested in what I was going to eat than his 6-pack. That is something I will always carry with me. I too have lost weight (about 30 pounds) but I have another 20 to go before my doctor will be happy. I've been stuck at this weight for 4 months now and starting to think I'm just not meant to lose it. But now that I've stumbled onto your blog (first time!), maybe I'll find some tips and recipes that will help me get moving. Great job!
