Just would like to post a quick follow up to Ashley's post in regards to additions. Hey Kiddo, we are all addicted to food in some way or we would not be where we are in the first place:)
Our society has brainwashed us with the whole weight/diet terminology thing, since we were children! I suppose that we have all become immune to these terms, or the threat that is associated with them...the don't eat that, or you'll get fat syndrome, has plagued the US since the 50's!
I truly sense that this is a rebellion issue, not an addiction issue, lol! Do not tell me that I can not do anything...that is a sure way to get me to do it, lol!
Our society has become sedentary over the past 50 years, and to top that off, we have become so busy that we are no longer active in our spare time.
You mentioned that you think of food all the time? Well, how could you not think of food all the time? It is on every TV channel, or, reality TV show; 90% of the adds in every magazine are for foods, and every conversation that someone brings up is about food...what's for supper, I had the most amazing thing, Boy, you should have seen the recipe that I found, lol!
Ashley...We are all in the same boat...I have struggled with this for years...you might be able to tell, lol! I am working hard to get the food thoughts out of my head! I am trying to stop worrying about what is for the next meal...I am trying to eat when I am hungry...and the main thing is for me to try and stop obsessing about the what and when when it comes to food:)
The busier I stay at home, the less I think about food! When I think about food, I try to drink a big glass of water...the more active I am the less I am hungry...
I will always try to say a prayer for you, as I say one for me, when it comes to thinking about food! Remember, you cannot do without food, so in a since, you have to think about it!
Be strong and remember that this is a lifestyle change for all of us and not just a few weeks!
Heather and I spoke about this issue today and she helped me by reminding me that as long as we are moving forward, we are doing what we should!
Love ya'
Mark
