I really like your comment. I have similar feelings regarding my body and i don't think it is a matter of weight. It is all about balancing. Let's try a train of thoughts: You have the feeling that your body needs food. We want to compare it to a car who's about to run out of gas. You are standing at the gas station -> how much do you fill in?
Exactly. You probably have no idea. You are trying out and...blop..the tank is full. If the gas is running out..you have a mess.
The next time you are remembering that you should listen to the "blop" and you let it pass...Are you a step further now? Yeah, probably. But what if you take a book where someone explained his thoughts and knowledge and read about the part where the amount is written up? "Ahh..a 80l tank. Easy, next time i know how much to fill in"
If we want to change our habits, we might look behind the scenes and go on our path to find out what's inside and how much "food" our body needs.
I do have the strong feeling that the author of that book just wanted to share his knowledge in order to help other people out. And how knows...maybe next time we are the guy at the gas station and we see someone in help and doesn't know how much to fill in his tank. We show some brave and go a step ahead and just talk to this person to help out with our new knowledge.
wonderwop, i wish you all the best with your change and i hope that the picture i have tried to drawn is somehow helpful.
Greetings from Germany!
Thank you @jesuisgai that painted the perfect picture. I think I need to start running on empty. 🤔 But seriously, it didn't happen overnight and it's not going to be easy, but I have to do something or I won't be here long enough to spend my Steem.
I have the theory that we are "stuffed yet starving." Our bodies are crying out for nutrition and when we only eat garbage, the body is still hungry even though our stomach is full.
Once I started making healthy meals for myself, I was shocked at how good I felt after eating. I used to feel sick after my 6 slices of pizza. Now I eat a bowl of soup jam-packed with nutrition, and have energy instead. I even look at my food sometimes before I eat it and think I won't like it because it looks too healthy! Luckily, I am always wrong about that.
So much love! I have the same thoughts every time my girl prepares a vegan meal for us.
Then i try it..get to know it better...and like it and appreciate her work and love to care about my health that i too often forget about...
wonderwop, we are a community and are here to help. My english is more..hmm..amateur-level so i don't know if i get you correct. If you want, we can talk in private and i can try to show you some ways that helped me a lot. If you want to talk about it in public, we can extend our room and can discuss it here in steemit. Your choice :)
