Now then!
Just thought I'd put down some of my feelings from today and see if it strikes a chord with anyone...
After watching the DVD before starting the LT diet, it made me quite interested in the psychology behind the TFR. I'd only ever considered the physical side of it (ketosis, achieving weight loss etc), however, it talked about food addiction and breaking bad habits. It was very interesting and I could see where they're coming from, as in going "cold turkey" from proper food is necessary in re-educating yourself about how to eat.
Anyway, here I am on day 2 of LT, and I'm starting to see how this psychology applies to my own mind. There were various points today when I really fancied eating something "naughty", and it categorically was not because I was physically hungry. I had a bit of a moment of clarity, and finally realised that I am in fact a comfort eater!
Now I know this sounds ridiculous, but I'd never actually realised that this is how I treat food, I always thought I ate because I was hungry (just made bad choices about what I ate!) Turns out on closer inspection that I've been eating out of boredom and for comfort, and out of sheer habit. It has made me face the reality of why I am and have been overweight for the past 20 odd years. It's time for me to change all that, and re-evaluate my habits. I'm feeling very "zen" about the whole lipotrim thing, almost as if I have to purify myself to change my mind-set and therefore my body for the better.
Heavy!
