Eating Real Food
Though fat since the age of 18, I've always had this "quiet knowing", as I call it, that my weight was a reflection of my inability to balance my physical body, emotions and spirit. Now, almost 2 decades later, I'm coming to terms with my reasons for having gained so much weight, primarily my unwillingness to feel my emotions, which I chose to "stuff" down with food. Needless to say, this "awakening" has been an incredible evolution! While I know it's trendy and convenient -- and very American, I might add -- to consume a lot of prepackaged foods, I have always been drawn to the nourishment & comfort of, what I call, "real food". Even though I've overindulged in many sugary foods and eaten a lot of processed carbs over the years, I have also eaten healthy foods - lean meats -- and higher fat cuts of meat, organic dairy, and loads of veggies, which I love! I think the restructuring of points on the current Weight Watchers Plus program is awesome, and I plan to use those points by consuming a higher protein, fat and reduced carb diet, and mostly "real food". I'm curious, are there any other WWs out there doing the same? If so, what are your favorite meals and snacks? And how is your weight loss coming along?
