i think its about retraining your mind about food!
Starting to see food as fuel for your body, rather than something pleasurable is probably the hardest part!
There isnt anything wrong with carbs hun, its just your body doesnt need as many as we all probably used to eat pre-CD!
There are loads of protein veggie foods, so it will just be a case of a BALANCE of protein, carbs and vegetables....
i think we will all have to limit ourselves for the rest of our lives, but limit ourselves on the amount of crap we used to eat more than the good things your body needs...
i'm not good at moderation, so there are foods that i will completely stay away from (Crisps, chocolate, sweets), but then fruit and veg i'm quite happy to eat and am looking forward to it!
The other side is the acceptance that if you do choose to eat something that is bad for you, like choc and sweets etc, that it WILL have an impact on you and the scales....i've never been good at consequences...but i'm learning that for everything bad that goes in my mouth, there is a consequence....so will require more planning or more exercise...
i'm rambling now, but i know there is life after CD, but its a good one, and one with choices!
