yippeeeeeeeee another detox day bites the dust. Actually that sounds kinda negative, I'm actually quite enjoying myself. I'm not hungry at all doing this detox eating plan - Kris and I were talking about it at work today. She reckons its from the extra GOOD fats from the Salmon and Nuts that I'm eating which are making me feel fuller and satisfied. Incredibly how processed foods contain all those empty calories in hidden sugars and saturated fats that make us feel hungry or tired because of the surges it puts our bodies through. It's a fascinating mind game. A MIND GAME - that is exactly what it is I believe. 90% of my battle, journey, whatever I want to call this is MIND.
Watched a doco on telly tonight about a lady in Gissie who weighed over 250kg. She was huge. She was stubborn and she had support around her that did everything for her. She also had a cultural acceptance for being big and from what I could see, because of that acceptance it gave her the self confidence to be in self denial. She was given 3 chances by the hospital to have an operation to make her more mobile and yet her MIND let her down.
I am fat because my brain is telling me its ok to be fat. On my thin MIND days its telling me I really really dont want to be fat, but those days havent been as strong as the fat MIND days lately. However, I am focussing completely on turning that around again.
I'm reinforcing my mind.
I DONT WANT TO BE FAT.
I DONT WANT TO FEEL BAD ABOUT MYSELF.
I DONT WANT TO LOOK FAT.
I DO want to live a healthy fulfilling life.
I DO want to enjoy my body and what it will allow me to do.
I DO want to buy clothes, the type that I WANT to buy.
MIND REINFORCEMENT - self talk, self coaching ... it's all about me.
*whew*
Day 4 detox went without a hitch today.
Breakfast - 2 slices of vogels + 1 banana
Morning tea - in a meeting so missed it!
Lunch - two slices of vogels, half tin of salmon, salad, 1 kiwifruit, handful of nuts
Afternoon tea - apple
Pre dinner snack *grin* - 4 prunes, 3 dried apricots, 2 dates
Dinner - 200gms fish, dry roasted kumara & spuds, salad + half the apple crumble made with 2 apples, handful of rolled oats and 2 tsps manuka honey.
I worked it out as 23 pts.
um ... I wasnt athletic this morning either, when the alarm went off at 5, I rolled over and went back to sleep. Craig is getting shitty at me for the alarm being set and me not acting on it and waking up the household ... oopsie.

I watched that Doco too.... it really is all in the mind as her neice etc were really trying to help her.
I found you through Anne. Wish I could have watched that doco too. Wonder if they will show it in Australia. I agree about the mind games - I think the trick is distraction but that really does sound simplistic. DH gets cross with me too for setting the alarm early and hitting the snooze button too many times LOL oh well he should have learned to live with me by now. Good luck with your detox.
