Hi
we all have times when we've been really powerful, avoided addictive foods and felt amazing.
Well yesterday I felt awful but today I started thinking about the times when I just haven't wanted food. I decided to access those powerful 'not interested' feelings at tea time tonight.
I was in quite a relaxed kind of mood anyway (dont try this when stressed) but I did manage it. I just remembered those willpower filled feelings and instructed myself that I really couldn't be bothered with food, that it was boring.
It worked!
Thwe purpose of this thread is to get all of us to remeber specific times we did the right thing food wise, or went for a run in the rain, or helped a friend , or cleared the cupboards of rubbish on 1st Jan...
post your 'good stuff ' here and then see if you can call up the emotion of the memory in order to help yourself today.
It doesn't matter how short lived the feeling was, the point is to get back there to motivate you now.
I'll start. After my hypnotic gastric band, I absolutely lost interest in food for 2 weeks. That's the feeling I went after today.
