I have an addiction to food, namely, grains and starches. It has become especially obvious since I've started drifting away from a strict Paleo diet. I've added rice and potatoes back to my diet, and my jeans have started noticing. And so has my brain.
I can feel it as I type - I'm not hungry, but I have this desire to go grab some more of my roasted rosemary fingerling potatoes from the fridge. I would also kill for a bowl of buttery rice.../drool. Maybe another rice biscuit and some jam...cobbler...
*Whimper*...
So I'm planning a swift retreat from these enemy foods. I mean, let's face it - food should not have this power over the mind. I shouldn't be distracted by the thought of certain foods. I shouldn't feel like I'm going through withdraws when I just had a freakin' bowl of rice 17 hours ago. And I DON'T like my size 10s feeling snug like this!
This is getting just a bit ridiculous. Again.
And that's where the blog comes in. I figure I need some accountability here, so I'm thinking some daily posts might be in order to get me back on track and keep me there. I mean, I've got a wonderfully supportive husband who supports all things Paleo, etc., but he's been nudging me for a while to stop all this non-Paleo stuff, and his attempts were met with, "I CAN HAVE WHATEVER I WANT IN MODERATION SO SHUT IT!" type attitude (maybe a pinch less attitude than that, but I was determined). So I'm guessing that I need more than one person encouraging me.
And here we go - tonight, I plan on doing some measurements, getting a proper before picture, and getting this ball rolling. I've stalled long enough - I mean, for crying out loud, I really only need to lose maybe 15 more pounds.
How hard can it be, seriously?
