It&#8217;s a reward, solace, comfort, mindless eating is a fol. Trying to establish a healthy relationship after 45 years is hard. I am doing the best I can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I don&#8217;t want good or bad foods, it&#8217;s about the right foods and meals for the moment. Pizza is fine, chocolate or cookies or ice cream are good too. It&#8217;s the timing, portions, frequency that matter. To quote a wise man, cookies are a sometimes food. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"701\" height=\"499\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thebottlefarm.com\/wpbottle\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Screenshot_20230711-103336.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1208\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thebottlefarm.com\/wpbottle\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Screenshot_20230711-103336.png 701w, https:\/\/www.thebottlefarm.com\/wpbottle\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Screenshot_20230711-103336-300x214.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 701px) 100vw, 701px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Weight vs date<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You don&#8217;t get a chart like this for someone who has a consistent diet, consistent eating habits or practices mindful eating. You can see I&#8217;m doing great now, but I hope to not be back at the top of a roller coaster in 6 months, in a year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When I spoke to a professional I got feedback I was focusing too much on weight, and I can certainly see that. The challenge I have is when I take my eyes off strict eating, and try to just eat, I easily go back to my old habits, and old portions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So what am I trying now? I&#8217;m trying to both eat much more vegetables, and cook far less food. If there are less leftovers of calorie dense foods. I am less compelled to eat to avoid waste. In cooking I&#8217;m trying to cook extra vegetables, those are great snacks, lunches or fillers if I&#8217;m not feeling satisfied, but have already had a sufficient portion of rice or protein. I&#8217;m also working on smart substitution, like the yogurt above, it&#8217;s 2%, low added sugar, full flavor no fake sugar yogurt. It tastes great, but isn&#8217;t 250 calories. I found great cilantro lime creama which tastes good but isn&#8217;t 170 calories per serving. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That said I&#8217;m close to my goal, and plateauing a bit. I need to remain focused on that goal, and continuing to do what&#8217;s needed to lose these last 4-5 lbs. Wish me luck.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Been a few months of continuous conscientious (funny typo) eating, trying to&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1208,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[181],"tags":[182,183,184,185],"class_list":["post-1210","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-fitness","tag-diet","tag-food","tag-weight","tag-weight-loss"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thebottlefarm.com\/wpbottle\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1210","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thebottlefarm.com\/wpbottle\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thebottlefarm.com\/wpbottle\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thebottlefarm.com\/wpbottle\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thebottlefarm.com\/wpbottle\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1210"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.thebottlefarm.com\/wpbottle\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1210\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thebottlefarm.com\/wpbottle\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1208"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thebottlefarm.com\/wpbottle\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1210"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thebottlefarm.com\/wpbottle\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1210"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thebottlefarm.com\/wpbottle\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1210"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
