Bit lovin'

Part of this journey of discovery (man it sounds like I am off to find the lost city!) is discovering what feels right for my body, not just what a diet says is right for my body. So I have decided to write the things as I discover what is right for my body, mind and soul (after all I am just more than boobs and hips) and what's not.

What's Right!
*Whole grain bread - Its fills me up, it keeps me going - It satisfies my need for bread without inducing a binging episode.
*Nuts - After years of being told by 'diets' that nuts were a bit of a no no I have started enjoying them again. I love raw mixed nuts, I love the crunch and they always hit the empty spot. I also know that nuts level out my blood sugars.
*Candles - I have about a jillion candles in my house and all of them are gorgeous and till now I have been doing the 'save them for a special occassion' but of course no occassion is special enough - well that's what I thought until I realised every day is special - I am special and my family are special so we deserve to have yummy candles burning even if we are just sitting watching TV.


What's Not!
*White bread - I feel bloated and sick and there is something about white bread that makes it my devil food. The more I have the more I want and I don't even really like it unless its dripping with butter and nutella!
*Messy house - Now call this crazy but the way I have been feeling I didn't think I deserved a clean tidy house - why tidy when I felt so crap. Turning it around a messy house makes me feel like crap and I can't let my children grow up in it.
*Having the TV on up to twleve hours per day - yes I say that its just for company and the sound now that I am at home most days but really most of the time I end up plopped down in front of it watching crap and living in a fantasy world. Time to start living back in mine.

So going to bed tonight feeling a little clearer, a little more at peace with myself.
