Everyone overeats once in a while. Some people overeat more than once in a while, and then there are the people (ahem, me) that overeat most, if not all of the time. I’m slowly changing my ways and becoming more of a “normal eater”, and by that, I mean normal portion sizes, and consciously eating slower. So my question for you is: Why do you overeat?
Are you like me and absolutely hate even the thought of exercise? It could be because your weight makes it difficult for you to move around, you don’t have time, you have pain with too much movement, or you just plain old don’t want to do it because you’d rather be doing something else with your free time.
Have you ever heard of Shiny Object Syndrome, or as it’s ironically acronymed, SOS? At its core, shiny object syndrome (SOS) is a disease of distraction, and it affects entrepreneurs specifically because of the qualities that make them unique.
What does it mean to you when someone says they want to “get clean”? Does it make you think of a drug addict? An alcoholic, perhaps? Maybe they just want to take a shower…
My plan this week was supposed to be to focus on not overeating and pacing my meals. My disease had other ideas. The disordered part of my brain has been telling me that it’s fine to eat more right now because I’m changing my habits slowly, right? Yes…but no.
