QuothTheDragon Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 Until today, I don't think I was ever happy with the way I was eating. When I wasn't trying to be conscious of it, there was always that whisper in the back of my mind that I tried to ignore that was telling me to was too much. When I was trying to be conscious of it, food became a source of stress and anxiety. I didn't want to eat too much or too little or the wrong thing. I was being a silly Quothy over in my challenge thread and mentioned that I was considering going low carb again because I haven't been losing as much weight as I wanted, but I was miserable on low carb and couldn't work out as much. Then I posted about how even though I hadn't lost much weight, I have been noticing some awesome changes in my body and my clothes are fitting crazy well. My GL pointed out that it was obvious which path to take. I was responding when I realized that I'm actually happy with my eating habits right now. They're not perfect: I still splurge on gelato somewhat regularly and there are these Mediterranean pizzas that I love right now. I just am aware of it and balance it out accordingly. But I stopped stressing about it. My eating habits are dialed in and pretty effortless. For anyone out there thinking that food will always be a battle no matter what: it won't be. You can figure out what works for you and it will work. TL;DR: Holy friggin' crap! I'm actually happy with food when I never thought that was possible! 2 Quote Wandering Monk Starting Weight: 238 Current Weight: 189.2 Goal Weight: 150 PRs Mile: 12:49 (11/1/14) 5K: 44:07 (3/13/16) Link to comment
Shortgorilla Posted July 17, 2014 Report Share Posted July 17, 2014 This is a goal most people never achieve. Congratulations. So many have an unhealthy relationship with their food. This makes life itself so much easier. 1 Quote PVP Challenge (Deadlift and OHP): http://rebellion.nerdfitness.com/index.php?/topic/69895-shorts-race-for-the-big-two-ongoing-challenge/ My Battle Log: http://rebellion.nerdfitness.com/index.php?/topic/44606-shortgorilla-is-fat/ Link to comment
QuothTheDragon Posted July 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2014 This is a goal most people never achieve. Congratulations. So many have an unhealthy relationship with their food. This makes life itself so much easier.Thanks! The best part is, I didn't even realize I had achieved it. I've been so busy with life stuff that I've just kept moving forward and I kinda let go of the food stress/anxiety. It's wonderful to look ahead to the next challenge and think "My food goal this time around? Keep doing what I'm doing". I am going to be focusing on bringing my workouts up from 2-3x/week to 4-5x/week now. Feels good to not worry about both Quote Wandering Monk Starting Weight: 238 Current Weight: 189.2 Goal Weight: 150 PRs Mile: 12:49 (11/1/14) 5K: 44:07 (3/13/16) Link to comment

DerekP Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 The occasional higher carb day/night is actually good for your body. Especially if you don't stress about it. Good game. Quote Link to comment
Balthazar Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 That's fantastic work, a real milestone. Stressing out about food can be such a cause of misery and demotivation.So pleased for you Quote Link to comment
