I SO don't want losing weight to be a full or even part-time job.
So here I am one month out on this blog, down a pitiful two pounds and 1% of bodyfat. It's not even enough to change my waist measurements. I suppose that's the appeal of programs like Jenny Craig and Nutrisystems which control the food and all it's variables. People pay for someone else's grief on their behalf. I want to eat real food.
Apparently I'm still not one of those people who instinctively eats what they should and stops eating when they should. I don't suppse wanting to be will change my body chemistry or engrained thought paths.
I so agree with not wanting food and its consumption to be a full time job. Why can't I just make better choices on type, portion, etc.? I don't want to measure and weigh everything I eat. But I guess that is part of the reason I still struggle...what looks like a "good" portion to me is really too much for me.
ReplyDeleteI agree, your diet should feel like a full time job. But balancing all of those factors is just a headache and more stress which isn't good for your health nor weight loss. It's like a downward spiral sometimes. Plus, I too want REAL food. Not some prepackaged, fake food, because that really can't be super healthy either? It is a fine line to try to walk in order to eat real food but be healthy. That portion control I feel is the hardest to learn.
