Does this get any easier?
| Thu, 03-22-2007 - 3:55pm |
I started SB the beginning of February. I have had great success, so far losing 11 pounds. But, I am finding it really hard now to stick with it. I feel I am "obsessed" almost by the whole thing. I find myself always thinking of food, what I can eat and what I can't eat. I wake up each morning thinking about what I am going to eat for the day. For those of you who have been doing this for awhile--Does this get easier? Does it really just become part of your lifestyle or are you always thinking about food? I have been doing really bad this week, having two "cheat" days and am feeling a bit discouraged.
thanks for your help,
Crystal

Well - I do feel it gets "easier". I've been eating this way for over 2 years now, but honestly I do constantly "think" about what I eat. But to me, this was the whole point of it. I'm GLAD that I think about every choice I make. I still look at labels on every trip to the grocery store - but I consider this a good habit. I weigh the good and bad of every choice when I am out to eat. I just consider it taking good care of my body. You won't want to get so comfortable with driving that you stopped looking at the traffic lights or using your rear view mirror. Its just part of the deal. Being healthy and taking care of our body takes a little time and effort. Will eating healthy ever be as easy as thinking "ah - who care what I put in my body, lets just hit the drive thru". Maybe not. But it certainly worth the extra effort and it does just become habit or second nature.

MichaelAnn,
Thanks for your response. I agree that it is worth the effort to be healthy and I do feel better since I started SB. I guess I will just have to get used to being "obsessed" with my food choices. Sometimes I just get so overwhelmed thinking about it all the time and I just hope that in the future it will become easier. I'm sure after a few more months is will be like second nature--I'm just worried I will "fall off the wagon" because I am so overwhelmed. I have been lurking here a lot the last few months and just reading other posts has been so helpful--now I will probably be relying on you ladies to help me stick with it.
Thanks,
Crystal
