Topic: Eating Unconsciously
I ate something sorta junky, sorta snacky the other day. It was the strangest thing so I wanted to share it.
I made my questionable healthy food choice, ate it and a little bit later noticed the wrapper. Seeing the wrapper really stopped me in my tracks..."WHEN did I eat that?" I knew I picked it to eat it but I didn't remember actually eating it. The television was going, I had my laptop in my lap, my family was home and before I knew it that food choice went from a choice to an eaten without any recollection of eating it. Absolutely scarry. That is eating completely unconsciously. Too bad even though we may eat unconsciously that the calories don't go away unconsciously! LOL!
It was a real awareness for me so it was a good lesson. When I eat, I need to focus on what I'm doing. If I'm going to eat it, at least be present for the experience!!! Also, when I make healthy food choices I tend to be more present and stay with the eating experience.
Just from that experience, I'm much more aware of eating when I ea****ching television, talking to my family and working on my laptop can be multi-tasked but eating is not.

Topic: What a day!
Do you ever have one of THOSE days where you feel like the entire world is moving to the left and you're moving to the right? When it seems like nothing is going right? If so, that's my day!
How do you handle those days? For me pre-op (okay, sometimes post-op too), I would eat. You know, food that helps you curb the emotions, takes the edge off and just downright comforts you.
Well, not me, not today. I saw a quote somewhere that says something along the lines of you are more powerful than any situation that can happen to you. When I step back, how much sense does it make to eat over emotions or a situation? It just makes things worse.
I know that I'll close the day staying on track!!

Topic: RE: my thoughts and happy new year!
Hi Sandie,
I agree with you 100%. I fell into a couple of habits that I've already started replacing. The joys of getting/being track are better than any food choice can give.
Happy New Year to you. Thanks for your post!!

Hi Sandie (and Cathy and Jimmy)...I'm just at the beginning of this journey. I had my lap-band surgery last Wednesday and am feeling pretty much back to normal at this point.
Cathy, btw, I'm enjoying your blog!
