Books

I'm currently waiting for Karen K. Koenig's new book 'The food & feelings workbook' to arrive from Amazon. I'm hoping it will have some advice that will help me. (I'll let you know what I think).

So much of the time I don't seem to have 'big' feelings. Yes, I get angry or happy or irritated, frustrated or miserable. But I find it hard to understand what feelings I'm ignoring and want to get in touch with them.

Anyway, I'll let you know what the book is like.

I've also been getting support from BC. I asked about how I can get the final pieces of the puzzle to 'fit' together in order to actually start losing weight (it's less of a priority than it used to be and I'm mostly happy with myself, but I do want to get slimmer for health reasons). The advice I got was that it'll happen and to trust the process.

I do seem to be making progress, I rarely overeat at mealtimes and question what I really want if I'm 'hungry' at other times. I find that this mouth hunger often happens at work and I'm working at understanding why. At the moment, this seems to be the one time I'm sabotaging myself and I find it quite frustrating.

The only other thing I feel I could change is to cut down on booze. I'm making some progress at this and believe that 'making babies' will really incentivise me to be very aware of my naughty wine habits. We'll see...
