I've got so much going on lately that it feels overwhelming some days. Lately I've just had crazy cravings, I'll get off work and come home and all I want is a hamburger, or chocolate bar. I've discovered a lot about myself in terms of my eating by just being more aware of what I'm doing.
This is what I've discovered:
1. I don't eat enough, and then I get crazy hungry and eat everything I can get my hands on. This then brings me to over eat, on an empty stomach.
2. I never plan anything, this then results with us not having food in the house and then we eat out. If I saved receipts from all our restaurant visits in any given month I'd probably be disgusted by the number.
3. I'm an emotional eater, if I'm sad or had a really hard day at work then I want to come home and eat something. And not something good for me. If I'm happy or something great happens then I want to go celebrate, with good food of course.
Yesterday as I was driving to school, I realized that I need to do things that I may not want to do at the moment because I care for and respect myself, my body, my life and my future.
This means that I need to:
1. meal plan
2. exercise which means waking up earlier in the morning
3. kick sugar and junk food out
4. keep track of what I'm eating in a food journal or my phone app
5. drink waaay more water
There are probably more things I could do, I already stopped drinking caffeine. Anyone have any other ideas?
I'm glad I'm finally respecting myself enough to make changes, even when those hamburger cravings are overwhelming. Like tonight I had spaghetti with veggie sauce, whole wheat noodles and a pear for dessert! Even though all I wanted was fries :)
Off to college now, got a presentation today.
