The great thing about starting a new diet was the massive amount of Inspiration that I felt in the beginning. That’s what powered me through the point counting, starvation, funny smelling urine, constant food journaling, anal food planning, yadda yadda yadda.
So now what? If I am vowing off diets, does this make the beginning sans inspiration? I honestly hope not. It’s fun to be inspired. I want to be inspired - but I do want that inspiration to be part of a greater whole. Not just a dream of being skinny because I am determined to follow such-n-such diet.
So maybe I wasn’t inspired before. Maybe it was just a dream, pretending, a fantasy. Maybe I can find true inspiration now by learning my own hunger cues, not beating myself up for eating foods I truly desire, learning to say no to less healthy foods when the time is right without obsessing over them…
I am, however, on a blog hunt. I am searching for various blogs that inspire me without feeding in to my compulsive, obsessive personality. So far my definite favorite is DietGirl. I have enjoyed reading through her blog and seeing her transformation - both mentally and physically. She’s at a point in her weight loss and mindset that I strive for.
I would love to hear suggestions for inspiration in this battle of weight/weight-obsessing.
