My journey is twofold, changing both my inner and outer self. I will try to add a little of each in my blog posts. What is on my mind today actually involves both, I think, and it\u2019s my relationship with food. Today is the day I start phase III of my bariatric diet which is pur\u00e9ed foods. To date I\u2019ve done the preop phase which is liquid diet and Phase I which is also a liquid diet. All told I\u2019ve been on a liquid diet for over a month. Phase II now involves some actual food consumption. I\u2019ve gotten so excited about it I over ate and now my stomach is etxtremely uncomfortable. I knew what the portion sizes were and I ate more anyway. Why? Because I had it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I was hoping to go by general diet guidelines but I have learned today that I need to start tracking and measuring. I\u2019m more of a visionary and creative type person, and this strict tracking is so not my thing but I am too far into this to blow it now. So I will work on a nutrition tracer and an eating schedule. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is probably a good thing, though because it will help with one of the inner goals which is mindful eating. Each time I want to put food in my mouth I need to question why. According to what I have read on Mindful Eating this needs to be tracked too, So that\u2019s three trackers to start. I need to get my criteria together and build something. I don\u2019t want to go the app route because that usually involves more minutia and frankly I will get bored. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
With these action items I will be working on my relationship with food which is obviously warped right now. It is going to be critical to conquer this one or I won\u2019t be successful long term. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
