Food Freedom

Yes, I am eating real ice cream with real sugar!!

Creating a good relationship with food has been hard for me but I am getting there. For the past 3 years I have been counting my calories and it was an obsession but a bad one. A few weeks ago I was just tired of logging everything I ate into an app I just stopped counting. All though I have tried to stop before, I just couldn’t it was an addiction. Now that I have stopped I feel better than ever, seriously. I started counting calories because I wanted to lose weight, but I really just gained it.

Instead of eating the protein and nutrients I needed I started eating low calories substitutes and was just not nourishing by body correctly and felt like sh*t. I stoped spending my life counting calories and really starting enjoying what I ate.

When I started counting my calories I was only allowing my self to have 100-200 calories per meal, and I was eating only 600-1000 calories a day. This is not healthy for anyone, but I thought I was so healthy only eating 600 calories. Since I have started this account I have seen how important it is to nourish my body with the right proteins and carbs. I have learned that 600 calories a day is not a healthy diet, you body need calories and carbs to live.

I thought eating less calories would help me lose weight but it just slowed my metabolism down and made it even harder to lose weight. Now I have informed my self that food is good for you, your body needs carbs and it is ok to eat what you want. I still am trying to create a better relationship with food it will take time but hopefully I will be able to really enjoy food like I used to.

In conclusion it does not matter your size what matters is that you are enjoying life, eating what you enjoy and are happy!
