Playing the Angel
Now that I am nearing the end of abstinence, I have been giving a lot of thought to the whole process. This has included all the diets I have tried previously to work out what the failings were and what made this work. And trust me I have tried them all!! I realised that I was extremely bored with food, although I abused it. Might have something to do with working with it every day? But also I had very little interest or respect for myself. No doubt this is the reason for the abuse. Now the only way this was ever going to work, somewhat similar to the way it works for any other kind of addict was to TOTALLY step away from food entirely. I don't think I even realised prior LL how much I abused food or even that I abused it at all. Quite shocking to me now, but food was my medication, that and the glasses of wine in the evening. Don't get me wrong the only way it really does work is in conjunction with the councilling, which is what made me choose LL as opposed any other VLCD. But to step away was the only solution for me. I have had time to step back, re evaluate, re learn my love for food and re discover why I am a chef in the first place. I am now going to be a better, smarter chef and design menus that are not only lovely but healthy too. Just my 2 cents worth, wondered if any of you have found it to be the same?
