Journey updates and a question

Image
Been cruising along steadily this past month. I am eating high protein, low carb 1200-1300 cal/day with Intermittent Fasting at 10 hrs a day. At about 3 months the honeymoon stage usually ends for me and I did encounter a couple of days where my hand was quicker than my Beck counsel thoughts. But I was reading blogs and was inspired to change my daily relationship with my inner Wild Child and Dictator. I started by intentionally addressing them at meal times pointing out the fatty, salty and sweet items on my plate. That really seems to be pleasing for everyone. Never one to stop with a single effort, I was inspired to include them in my daily activities. I’ve been intentionally pointing out nature’s beauty and looking for eye candy treats for Wild Child’s (WC) enjoyment. Dictator (D) has been given my ongoing assurances from tracking and meeting my goals. She has been very quiet. I think WC being happy has reduced her workload.

The World is a BEAUTIFUL Place

 Just some random photos of my journey these past weeks. Treating myself kindly, taking care of my inner Wild Child and Dictator has made the journey what I always dreamed it could be. Calm peaceful and happy. The journey to weigh loss has been like a jigsaw puzzle. Lots of little pieces and each one is important in its own way. For years I was missing the pieces that satisfied Wild child and Dictator. I think I always tried to deal with their needs with willpower which never ended happily ever after. Learning to embrace and appreciate them has created a harmonious lifestyle. Peace after decades of war. Really satisfying.  In this area, the beach is very rocky with steep paths to the water. It’s a lovely place to walk the dog. The salty sea air is so delicious and the rhythm of the waves is like a heartbeat that connects me to our beautiful world. All my cares slip away as we walk. We saw fishing boats, surfers and families playing in the water. We met other dog walkers and pe...

Food for thought pun intended

  I re-read Martha Beck’s book The 4 Day Win. In the chapter where she discussed the physical and psychological reactions to severe calorie restricted diets.   She asked us to consider a study published in 1950 by an epidemiologist at the University of Minnesota named Ancel Keys, a study that somehow never gets mentioned in diet books. I’ve read a lot on this subject and had never heard of this study.     https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minnesota_Starvation_Experiment   The investigation, in 1944, was designed to determine the physiological and psychological effects of severe and prolonged dietary restriction and the effectiveness of dietary rehabilitation strategies. The motivation of the study was to produce a definitive treatise on the subject of human starvation and to use the scientific results produced to guide the Allied relief assistance to famine victims in Europe and Asia at the end of World War II.    They recruited volunteers from the Civil...
