Yesterday I allowed myself a break from the norm..
The norm , amazingly , is now clean eating. We had a little lunch do at work for a colleague who was getting married, I had my prepared lunch (leftovers) with me and brought berries for pudding as my contribution. However, once I saw the array of bread , cheese , hummus , crisps, meats & homemade muffins I knew that I would , for lunch only , put aside my strict regime to indulge in some shared eats. And it felt healthly . It was healthy to not be constrictive all the time , it was healthy to eat with people , it was healthy to learn to eat ‘ forbidden’ foods in a controlled way! I enjoy eating clean , I know that it is something that I will always need to follow relatively consistently, for I am a recovering compulsive overeater & sugar addict. Four months ago I was 16 stone. I am now 13.6 stone. And for me to say that this was a break from the norm is a massive step forward, for I have moved from ‘ being on a diet ‘ to being normal, to eating the way I want to eat. It has taken 20 years to come to this astonishing place in my life, whereby I have learned to love myself so much that I want to give myself what I have always yearned for , a slim & light body , which is at peace with itself. And although I am still on my journey , I can see the road clearly…
