Crafts and Life

Dinner – Veggie chilli and rice

Supper/snack – cheese sandwich

Drinks – No added sugar Vimto, tea with milk x 5, pint of sparkling water x 2

Weight – woo hoo! more off, down to 22 st and 7.75 lbs today, first mini goal is to get back below 22 st 7 lbs!

Energy – non existent at the moment (b12 injection has well and truly run its course!) and I don't have the energy to stand and heat soup through (or make a sandwich) so I suspect the weight loss is a little too fast and too soon 😦

DAY TWELVE

Key Theme: INSIGHT

NEEDING FAT

The main reason people who diet the old way go crazy, binge, and crave all the wrong foods is their need for fat. They unknowingly create this physiological (not psychological) need by going hungry or under eating much of the time. The forced calorie limitations of all diets cause biochemical changes that eventually demand extra food to promote survival fat storage. This is the mystery behind overeating (binging), cravings for fat-producing foods, preoccupation with food, depressed metabolism and fatigue— all symptoms universally experienced by dieters. We are indeed “fearfully and wonderfully made,” and we’d better seek to understand our bodies or we risk never becoming the best we can be.

“Nature imitates herself: A grain thrown into good ground brings forth fruit: a principle thrown into a good mind brings forth fruit. Everything is created and conducted by the same Master— the root, the branch, the fruits— the principles, the consequences.” Blaise Pascal

Food for Thought: Do I still need fat?
