2nd Post

Reading the articles that I mentioned in the last post I published really got me to thinking about the way I eat. I feel that is where most of my weight problems come from because I have more trouble with what I eat and what I do whenever I'm not exercising than actually being in the habit of getting a good work out. I've all ready established that recognizing and controlling cravings is a big problem. I find that I don't eat out of depression, stress or even lonliness, all of which (like most people) I occasionally feel. Instead, I find myself eating not neccessarily out of boredom, but just not knowing what to do with myself. If I see that everything is done that needs to be, I chow down on some kind of comfort food and sit here on the computer, or lately, sit at my friend's house watching her mother.
I do find it harder to stay on an eating plan when there is all sorts of things I shouldn't have still in the house that I can get my hands on, but having those in the house is not a bad thing, its eating them all the time that makes it a bad thing.
I've decided to keep an eating journal to help me determine what changes I need to make, although I all ready think I know mostly what needs to be done. It won't hurt to have that there to help me see if there are less obvious changes I need to be making.
I'm also going to find something to do when I'm at my friend's house... sitting all day is not much help. I've started gaining weight back because of staying over there doing absolutely nothing for most of the day. I don't think the pay is worth that.
So now that I know a little bit more about what needs to be done, I should have fewer problems fixing this. ... old habits are hard to break though...
