The Journey

Food

It seems like in the past week my outlook on food has changed.  I'm all about eating healthy foods.  In fact, I try to eat healt\hy foods often.  But lately, since I've moved home for the summer, I've been slacking.  I'll eat cookies or ice cream, and after eating them, I'll instantly feel guilty.  It's like I'll feel so bad for eating them.  I don't want to go throw it up by any means.  But I feel bad for lkike eating more then one serving of a sweet.  I feel like I then need to punish myself for the rest of the week.  And that punishment would be no sweets for the rest of that week.

My health teacher from this semester keeps playing in my head.  Moderation is good.  YOu can eat all things juist as ling it's in moderation.  But I so don't feel that way.  When I eat those damn  sweets, I feel that I've eaten to much of them and that I don't deserve anymore for that week.  Am I wrong to be feeling this way?  Am I going crazy??

I feel like I shouldn't be feeling this way.  It's kinda scary cause I just started having these feelings with in the last week.  And it makes it even worse cause I'm going to all these graduation parties in the next few weeks.  And there's bound to be sweets there.  I know I should say no, or only take one.  Or eat fruit instead of the cake or cookies.  But I can't resist them.  There has to be a healthy balance.    I need to find that.

you know i also feel often very guilty when i get to eat something not healthy but i guess in my case it is different - i have alot of health problems which affect my eating habits. I have a long list of products i cant eat, even when they first seem to be quite healthy. And every time i get to eat something unhealthy i am scared because i can get pains, but still even when i know that some food can cause pains i eat this because it is impossible to eat always only healthy food - i am tired of it and want something really spicy, sweet or even fat ;))
Next months i am going to be operated and then may be i will get a chance to eat everything i like :)
And i wish you would never feel guilty because of food you eat - sometimes it is the only pleasure to get some extra cake or cookie or chocolate - some people cant get this pleasure.
So enjoy it but take cares,
Lena
