So this is a bit long, but I'm feeling a bit frustrated and annoyed. And part of my frustration and annoyance is that I feel frustrated and annoyed. UGH.
I'm not doing poorly. I have lost about 14 pounds these six weeks I've been tracking. I'm actually doing pretty good and I'm happy with the changes I see and feel. I usually have no trouble staying under my RDI, which I currently have set at 1800. And 1800 is actually under my true RDI when I calculate based on my weight. However, even though I have days where I get a little carried away, and on the days when I stay under I still account for the little things that make me happy, I'm still just feeling deprived. Why am I feeling so sorry for myself?
I think the reason is this. I have such a toxic relationship with food that even though I do have little treats, like ice cream sandwiches & girl scout cookies, etc. The things I really, REALLY love I just can't eat without going overboard. Today I was sitting at work and spent like two or three minutes just thinking about how much I would love onion rings. I even Googled a picture of onion rings. No lie.
I need to find things that make me happy other than food. I think when I got divorced, food became my friend. I don't want to eat like that anymore. I don't want to have the body that those actions have given me anymore. I have been sleeping better, feeling more rested. I don't wake up with extreme thirst anymore in the middle of the night or get shakes/sweats if I go too long without food. I'm doing really great. So why to I just want to quit/cry/feed my face?
I need to get out there and start over, find a new fella and build my life with someone...but I WANT to be better physically first. Look good naked!!! Hubba hubba!! That's it. That's my heart on the page tonight.

Many of us can relate. And the irony is, to get where we want to be we have to become MORE food-focused while at the same time we already feel food has been given too much importance in our lives. Got to find some kind of balance with food and it will carry over to other areas of our lives that may lack balance. Nothing wrong with mentally visiting the experience of eating onion rings without eating them. I actually find that a useful tool when I think I want something that isn't in my plan.

I am really glad I'm not the only person who sits around googling "forbidden" foods haha. It really does help prevent me from actually eating the food I shouldn't eat though. It can be really hard to undo a reliance on comfort eating, but it can be done. I have had a long struggle with depression and anxiety over the years, so food unfortunately became my "escape" of sorts. Divorce can be difficult, I imagine. Everything you knew in life can look so different after going through something like that, so I can see how someone would struggle to remember what once made them happy. I recently went through a difficult loss and found that throwing myself into old hobbies I'd long forgotten about helped me recover from it faster than I would have expected. Focusing on exercise and diet can take a lot of time and attention too, so pretty soon you won't even view food the same way. Think of this as an exciting chance to rediscover yourself and create a brand new, joy-filled life. You'll be feeling happy and encouraged again in no time! :)
