As I was driving to work yesterday I realized something. For breakfast I was eating egg white and yogurt. Me. I dont know how many things are "not me" in that sentence...the Breakfast part, the egg whites or the yogurt its all so crazy to me! Thats when it hit me. Im not dieting. Im not losing weight because Im not dieting. I changed the way I live my everyday life. Thats it. Right there.
As I wrote on day#1 I ate such junk ALL day EVERY day! I mean truly and honestly I was probably consuming over 5,000 calories a day easy. Thats ridiculous.
Now Im right within the 1200 to 1300 range. I mean yes probably 2 days a week I am a little over maybe around 1500 but still I see that as totally realistic.
As I look back on all that I have changed with my eating I am shocked!! Not to toot my own horn but I have literally changed everything about how I see food. I think of things like "how long is this going to keep my full" or "how many calories is this REALLY worth consuming" or "am I really hungry or am I bored" "what is a food I can eat more for less calories and doesn't take terrible". Just to name a few...
And on top of that talk about the discipline you learn! I mean I used to eat what I wanted when I wanted and how much I wanted. NOT ANYMORE! I now only eat my 3 means and 3 snacks in between in a correct serving amount.
This is a LIFE STYLE CHANGE. I have officially realized I changed the way I live my life through food!
I may not have lost any weight but at least I am getting healthier and making better choices :)
Now to work on the weight loss part....To be continue :)
i've said it before, and i'll keep on saying it... i'm so proud of you sissy! you're doing an amazing job of really changing your life for the better. you're living so much healthier and doesn't it feel wonderful?! it's a whole other aspect of treating our bodies like God's temple and i bet He really likes how you're treating His temple now :) *OO*
