I had an interesting phone call this morning. I was discussing my new way of eating with a family member and all the good and bad things about it...
She then asked me, "so what do you do for fun?"
I paused... and didn't really know what I do for fun... I've been walking? Hang out with the kids? But what do I really find super fun?
Food has always my go to for fun. I love cooking, I love cooking for others, I love trying out new restaurants, I love having dinner with friends....
Uh oh... so everything I love to do is surrounded by food. No wonder I was so miserable the first couple days...
So today I am going to spend time pondering that very question... What do I find fun....
A few ideas already... I have fun watching a movie cuddled up with my kids or husband. I enjoy playing tennis. I enjoy rollerblading. I enjoy looking up recipes on youtube for raw foods. I enjoy going to the health food store to find ingredients for recipes. I love tanning.
I love knowing that I am not controlled by food. I get to control what I eat and what I put into my body.
I may not always be perfect but it is certainly leaps and bounds better than what I was just 10 days ago....
I choose to have fun regardless of if food is going to be involved or not...
Oh, one more thing... I am going to have loads of fun shopping for a new wardrobe... :)
