RE: A Call For Help

Dear friend,

People are never satisfied. It would be best to simply revel in self-love, and pursue whatever body goals you personally deem fit to desire for yourself.

As for the being tired and overfed part. Lol, hello, are you me? I definitely know what you mean, because I used to experience exactly the same thing myself (I actually still do sometimes) and I think I can say this about it...

Have you heard about the saying, "we eat with our eyes"... Well, I will explain. Let's say you would be satisfied with 4 slices of bread for breakfast, and you wouldn't be hungry again until noon. Guess what? If you were served 10 slices and a plate of scrambled eggs, alongside a bottle of coca-cola, it is very likely that you will end up eating way more than that four slices you need. And I bet you that you would be taking the bottle of coke with you, even though you didn't finish it on that one sitting. You may just slowly sip it over the next hour or two...

You get the point? We don't need to eat so much most of the time, but because we can see that extra slice of bread or plate of beans, or whatever it is in front of us, we tend to automatically reach for it as well.

So, I think a little discipline helps, knowing that every meal shouldn't be a feast... And that we needn't eat with our eyes.

Trust me, I treat every meal as a feast myself which is why I think I can relate to this. I also added weight quite quickly too when I started eating like that, and I am learning to eat just once a day this time around, to adjust.

I hope this helps.
