things have been so busy! I've been trying to cut down on portions, realizing maybe I'm eating more than I realize, trying to eat only until I'm full. That's hard for me! If it's in front of me I want to eat it all! Plus I have a hard time being able to actually tell if I'm full. I've been trying to eat with more presence, eating slowly, and enjoying each bite of my food more. I've been doing better about only eating when I'm hungry. Trying not to snack when the kids are, or eat while cooking, or while putting away food. I'm starting to see all the hidden places where I eat but don't really think about it. The scale is finally starting to go down, which feels great.
My tenth anniversary is in 3 months and a week, I really feel motivated to lose a good amount to of weight by then! I was tempted to go on a crazy diet, and try to lose 30 lbs by then, not that it's impossible, but I have commited to not jumping on a diet I can not sustain, and doing this by changing my relationship with food, so I am resisting this temptation. It's surprisingly hard!
