Today I caught myself stress eating.
How did I know?
one. I am perfectly aware that I am full
I just finished a whole salmon steak.
All that protein and omega 3 I can literally feel them in my stomach, how can I not be?
two. I can't stop (or perhaps I didn't want to?)
full + food = BLOATED
I told myself to stop and I didn't, or can't. idk
I can see with my eyes how huge my food baby has become, and yes I have to keep feeding it.
three. I have an IMPORTANT interview 2 hours after.
Career, PGDE, feeling of unprepared, freaking out etc.
four. Carbs, carbs, carbs, carbs... crap.
bread, crackers, oatmeal, jam...
Sugar makes us happy, triggers the happy hormone, just like drugs...
Oh, but let's put all these in the past and move forward. No point stressing on the unsightly past.
I am getting control of MY life and it's looking good:
one. I do exercise everyday, consistently.
Even if it's just 20 mins cardio in front of YouTube on lazy days, I keep myself moving.
Enrolling in preferred exercise classes helps. I like dancing :)
Anything that's comfortable AND ENJOYABLE.
two. I try to control what I eat, keep track and tell myself when it's enough.
Really get connected with the food that gets put into your mouth.
I like to invent new and innovative food parings, just to spice things up a bit.
three. I go for whole foods and minimize eating processed food.
And I do experiments with my body to find out what works with myself. (Yea, I sound like a creepy weird freak, so what)
side note: currently experimenting with nuts and coconut
Even baby steps are steps, go healthy.
The thought of becoming old, fat and ugly haunts me.
