The best advi...This is a difficult place to be in. The best advice that I could give is to watch other people and the freedom that they have with food. <br /><br />For example, my husband thinks NOTHING of coming home from work at 5:15 and eating a bowl of ice cream, eating dinner at 6:30, and later having more ice cream or some Pop Tarts or a bowl of cereal or whatever his heart desires. He doesn't have a "requirement" he must meet first (i.e. "I can't have the Pop Tart until I exercise.") He just sees what he wants and eats it. I don't know if that approach will work for him forever (some idea of nutrition might be good, haha) but mentally he will not struggle with eating, exercise, calories, good/bad foods, or whatever. He just knows he's hungry and/or has a craving so he has what he wants. I think that's something to emulate. As you can look around and see how others approach food, you will hopefully find people with similarly healthy approaches. Watch them for a while and try to imagine being like that. If you can't imagine it, you know you have some progress to make and maybe you can pick and choose some of the aspects of their approach that you'd like to incorporate into your goals.Sarah at Journeying With Himhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00823110479188213370noreply@blogger.com
