What I've learned about myself in my "weight loss journey"

I've learned:

I am a creature of convienience. While the recipe may look good, I'll buy the ingredients and forget to make the dish. Or, look at it as if it would take all day to cook.

If I don't see it in the fridge, I wont eat it. Resulting in my fridge shelves getting very cluttered.

I'm a grazer. I like to pick all day long.

I don't like large meals. I prefer to graze all day long.

I like to eat infront of the t.v at night.

I love chocolate. It is my xanex.

Sundays are my free for all day. Meaning, if its there, i'll eat it because its Sunday. NO other reason, except that it's Sunday.

My body tells me when I've over eaten for the day. I just don't listen.

To me, dinner is not as important as breakfast.

Alcohol is the devil.

Junk food makes me feel like crap. Maybe that's why I like to eat it at night, because then I can just go to sleep.

Candy stays out of the house. Or I WILL eat it all. No 100 calories packs of Hersheys in this house. 100 calories would result in 700 calories eaten.

I sample my kid's Halloweeen Candy as we are trick or treating.

I don't like gummy candies, fruit snacks, or the other sugary kids foods. So, we keep them out of the house.

Too much Coffee makes me want to eat more.

If I start my day with a good workout, my day is more happy, productive and peaceful.

Working out/Dancing is my Lexapro.

I am most happy when I feel good from the inside out.

After I had my babies and was at my heaviest, I felt trapped inside "this body".

I feel more motivated to reach my goals while I'm helping others to reach theirs.

I'm a serious emotional eater. Happy, Anxious, Stressed, you name it. And it all leads to massive Chocolate intake.

And that's all I can think of for now.

I feel that, by identifying these things that we know about ourselves already, that we can better overcome these obstacles and continue on our weight loss journey. These are my emotional battles that are holding me back from reaching my goals more quickly.

But now that I've said them outloud, perhaps they will be easier to overcome when the time arrises.

What do you know about yourself??
