Emotionally
I’m enjoying this goodbye tour but I know it will soon come to an end. I’m worried about how will deal with my emotions once I go on my weight loss journey. The first lesson I learned about weight loss is that the battle starts in the mind. Everyone who is combating with weight has an emotional reason for it.
Some people have abandonment issues; some have had traumatic experiences such as rape or incest. My issue was not feeling good enough to receive the good things of life. It’s because I was able to let go of those thoughts that I found weight loss too be a breeze. A breeze, at least, at first.
But since I had developed emotional eating even after losing a bunch weight, who is to say something else won’t develop?
Right now I feel fine. I feel no sadness. I am excited to get back to a healthy routine and connect with others who are on the journey as well. I just need to tell myself that I’ve got this and I can do this and I have support that I didn’t have before.
One of my favorite things to eat is a good burger. I’m not usually too crazy about popular fast food burgers. I find the best burgers come from steakhouses. But there’s a fast food restaurant that sells chili burgers. I love them. I’m accompanying it with a slice of chocolate cake.
Why I love burgers: The meat, the tomatoes, the sauce all make for a delicious mélange.
Why I love chocolate cake: Do I really need to address that?
