Hello all
Hope you're all feeling fine and having good weekends....
Just to say mainly a thanks to Kel78- I have just been reading her blog and it's made me realise that I might not be going crazy like I thought!
I'm in the process of moving house and having to sort out all that comes with it, I am sooooo stressed it's untrue. Got loads of stuff going on at work too. Last night I was in a right old state, crying and if I'd seen myself from someone else's eyes, probably thinking I was a bit mad! Anyway, I know this diet is not going to be easy but I had a bit of a lightbulb moment and thought I wouldn't react like this normally but the emotions that I normally numb with some toast or cheese or cheddar baguette (mmmmm that actually still makes my mouth water!) I can't numb now so are coming to the forefront. But does this mean I am going to be an emotional wreck cause I can't eat?!
I know that this journey is about more than losing weight and actually looking at why we do feel the need to eat quite so much and can't just be healthy but how do we deal with our emotions and not be quite so emotional? Or would I have reacted how I did anyway, even if I had been eating?!
Brain muddled!!
All i know is that I keep trying to convince myself that I don't need to do this and I could just eat sensibly and try and lose weight the normal way. But I know really that I have tried that 500 times and it just doesn't work for me. Ahhhh! STress head! Sorry for the rant!
