Where is the time going? It seems I have been in a whirlwind of activity. I have not been logging my eating into the FS, but I am losing. I have been working my ass off with household chores, helping my daughters with their goat farming and renovating a house to boot! I'm a bit exhausted, but keeping an eye to what I am putting in my mouth. I'm pretty happy with having the food consciousness be enough to keep the weight down. My goal is to be down about another 8 pounds by my daughter's wedding on September 23rd.
We suffered a loss in June. My father-in-law passed suddenly, even though he was 90, he was healthy and robust right up until his affliction that ultimately took him in 10 days. That was a stressful time and I felt like I was tapping into food for coping. Maybe that is the traditional reasoning for eating at funerals and memorials. Food IS a comfort and the socializing around eating WAS a comfort. Now that this is in the past the confusion in my mind about those thoughts of mindless eating over the duration of that are not daunting. There is a clear distinction in my mind between a short stint of not being food-focused and in a good way being otherwise focused.
Anyways, for me, a somewhat lengthy journal entry with thoughts are equally reflective, no.... more reflective than just watching my weight numbers move up and down. I rarely look over my eating entries to look for good or bad trends, so...
Maybe looking for trends of eating might be a good idea... Hmmnnnnn New for me!
