I have a natural tendency to complicate everything...and I want to get it all, especially where my food is concerned. BUT, I realized in time that I needed to accept that I am a food addict. My hopes and dreams of having a normal relationship with food had to be smashed.
If something sings and dances in my head, then it's not in my best interest to keep it in my food plan. I have gone through the grieving process many times, as I let go sugar, flour, wheat, artificial sweeteners, and other foods that are personal triggers to me....the list would go on and on. Oh, caffeine is one to note! I am still mourning that one, and it's been a few years since I've had it.
For me, God had to increase and food had to decrease. Therefore, my food plan is cut and dry. I measure everything on a digital scale, except my oil, and I still commit it every day, even after years of abstinence.
I am happy today doing what I do because it is no longer about food (and entertaining myself with it), but about nutrition and living a life free and clean from food obsession. I am much happier eating to live, versus the life that I was living--living to eat!
