Man I have seriously been struggling with food...my portions are still down but I am eating way to many bad foods and I know that eventually this is going to hurt my progress no matter how much I work out. I just get to craving certain things and can't help myself. I'm not gorging myself though so that's good but I have got to find something that helps me deal with cravings otherwise I could so handle eating healthy.
Another thing that's been on my mind concerning food is how to deal with eating at my mother's and grandmother's house....my mom is pretty good about offering to alter how she is cooking to suit my weight loss needs and I haven't really approached my grandmother about it. I feel so bad about saying anything.
Okay at my mom's it's not a big deal because we don't eat to socialize there I just go down on weekends to see my family and normally end up eating dinner there. At my grandmother's though we get together every Thursday for dinner. A lot of what she cooks is fried or buttered or cheese covered and I love her food. If I don't eat enough she thinks it's cause her food isn't good or that I am sick. I know I just need to sit down and tell her that I am trying to change me life for the better and that though her food is amazingly delicious I can't eat a lot of it because I have a weight issue.
I hope one day that food is no longer an addiction but a maintenance action for me I don't want to give up all the foods I love but I do hope I won't always have to fight myself when it comes to food selections.
Well, she IS watching Dr. Oz, now. So, maybe it wouldn't be too hard for her to change the way she cooks, on Thursdays. Chris could sure benefit from that, as well!
