Disconnected...

This has been a manic week at work and I'v barely had time to think.  The pressure for my branch to make our sales budget is intense and so I haven't had much time to focus on myself or on my Mind Over Fatter journey.

I was feeling so bloated on Monday and my boots were to tight around the ankles that I felt as if my blood circulation was being cut off.  I decided to see if cutting out bread would make a difference.  Sue is very against me following a high protein diet but I have found that, if I cut out bread in particular, the cravings for sweet stuff goes away and the bloating eases.

I'v lost 1.5kgs in two days just from cutting out bread and the bloating has eased.  I feel 'lighter'.  I haven't cut out rice or fruit and yogurt.  Those carbs dont seem to make that much of a difference but bread is definitely the killer.  The worst thing is that it seems to set up cravings for all sorts of other carbs, particularly sweet things.  Bizarre.  I guess that is part of 'listening to what your body wants' or in this case ' taking note of what youre body doesn't want'.  I read in a magazine over the week-end that people who consume lots of gluten have lots of belly fat, and that is definitely so in my case.

My quest to listen to my body is progressing steadily.  I am trying to question when I want something, why I want it and what it could be telling me.  Im going to start the second phase of the food diary tomorrow and am looking forward to seeing what that reveals.  Im feeling a lot more positive about myself and haven't been focussing on feeling fat and disgusting.  Iv tried to use some positive affirmations to positively programme my mind.  It seems to be working.
