Stress can stop your weight loss goals about the maximum amount as eating
a family size bag of Nacho chips and a 2-Liter bottle of pop
can.
My approach to weight loss was in gaining my health. Losing
300 pounds wasn't the primary thing that occurred to me, but
rather “what could I do to urge healthy and eat right”. It was
a very strange approach as long as i used to be obviously clinically
obese and immediately needed some quick weight loss.
I had no concept our body used food during a very specific manor
and that we could improve our energy levels by working with
the body, not against it. there have been some very specific rules
to follow, so being the great student I followed them. It
became a faith on behalf of me and as I preached it, I made many
people quite crazy. I became an outcast because I had to
prepare my food differently and wouldn't eat with the gang at
meal times. My food was prepared differently, eaten
differently and eventually I even came to ask food servers to
use different spatulas to flip my “veggie burger” from the
grill.
I followed the principles and that i increased my energy. i started eating
better and my energy levels increased enough that my weight
loss began and that i began to become lean and healthy.
Then the things hit the fan
Well, it hit their fan, not mine.
Friends began to speak behind my back about wanting the old Rob
back. In one instance, i used to be held down on a couch while cola
was poured into my mouth against my will. They wanted their
old funny, fat, lifetime of the party friend back, not this health
nut with of these food rules.
I think I first became conscious of being stressed about food at a
birthday party i used to be asked to attend. it had been a time of
celebration, but does one want to understand what i used to be thinking?
“Do I or don’t I even have a bit of cake?”
“This is completely processed, unnatural food. No fiber, no
wholeness and it contained sugars, lard and every one sorts of other
crap”.
I had an entire bunch of thoughts about how this is able to affect my
weight loss goals, my health and my eating habits.
I was weighing the thoughts of being socially acceptable
against the health choice of getting this one little piece of
cake. i assumed about losing them as friends if I didn't
accept the cake and weighed it against the impact this poor
food choice was getting to wear my body. I had already lost
friends due to my food choices and that i really didn't want
to lose more.
I’m sure you’ve been there yourself, having to form a choice
based on your social station vs your health. It’s a really quick
thought process, but you notice that your vital sign goes
up, your heart begins to beat faster, you start to sweat… you
know what I mean?
I ate the cake.
I felt like crap.
I felt like crap on many levels and that i was stressing about this
excessively. I felt bad that I had to form that choice during this
manner. I felt bad because the sugar was surging into my
blood and that i felt bad because I “thought about this manner too
much”
At some point, you would like to abandoning of it all.
There is energy in food; within the love and other people around you
that prepared the food and therefore the circumstances during which it’s
eaten. Never eat a meal once you are upset or sad because you
should be enjoying the meal and taking altogether the goodness in
what the world has delivered to your body. absorb all that
goodness and abandoning of all the strain .
Eat naturally the maximum amount as you'll and increase the quantity of
whole foods in your diet. Make a option to remove processed
foods and beverages like cola’s, fruit juices, coffee and
traditional teas. Eat with a smile on your face and provides
thanks to everyone involved in bringing the meal, the
nutrition which energy into your body.
Then when the time is true , celebrate and luxuriate in the health
you’ve created.
There was a really dramatic shift in my life, my health and my
weight loss once I made the selection to enjoy some foods again.
I began to interrupt my very own rules and live my life. i started to
have fun with food and fun came back to my life.
Let go.
