I don't even know if such a word as overeater even exists, but here I am using it anyway :) My biggest problem is that I am an overeater. I love my food! I love almost every kind of food, except maybe mushrooms, kale, groats, sausage and black pudding. And olives, I don't like olives. But that's about it. Every other food, every meal is mine to eat :)
Healthy food is great and last year when I was on my previous big weight loss journey, I really enjoyed cooking it and eating it. I like veggies with chicken, baked stuffed red peppers with rice, oatmeal with milk and banana, protein shakes and protein bars, fish - salmon is probably my favorite healthy food! Nuts... gosh I'm getting hungry while typing this blog post, lol! But the problem is, I also love the unhealthy food. I'm obsessed with bread and chocolate sweets, well, sweets of any kind really. And when I have two options in my fridge, I go for that easier one, which is for example pizza or bread with butter and ham and stuff like that.
Some people eat because it's their way out, the way of releasing their emotions, food bring them comfort. Not me. My life is quite amazing, I seriously have nothing to complain about. I eat because I love it, I love the taste and the feeling and I just can't say "no", I don't have any boundries. I'm constantly over eating, probably like five times more than a regular person. I can't stop until I feel sick. I seriously don't hide my feelings behind this behaivour, it's just who I am.
To change that, that is my main goal for this year. I have to learn about healthy portions, I can't eat two chocolate bars and three donuts at the same time. For the first few weeks I'm determined to completely skip any unhealthy food I have in my house. Later I'll try to add some treats into my diet plan and I hope one day I'll be able eat the right way. My ultimate goal is to lose the extra weight with hard work and dedication, but also learn how to treat and reward myself, small things every day which will make me happy and satisfied but I won't be 50 pounds up in the next few monhs. I hope DietBet will help me on both parts of my ultimate journey :)
Thanks for reading!
Be strong and have a great month! Enjoy your journey :)
