Today I saw my dietician. I told her how I've been eating intuitively and she is really excited for me! My weight is stable (from what I can tell) and eating is going well. It was a good meeting. No tears!! YAY!! We ate ice cream, and it tasted really good. I only took a little, though, and I really wanted more… but I felt weird wanting more. I could have eaten a little more. oh well.
Tonight we are going out to dinner at Coco's, and I have a history of ordering things that are really "safe" at that restaurant. "safe" meaning the lowest calorie items, mainly from the "light and fit" menu. Haha. Well tonight I am ordering cod and veggies, which is safe… and then a baked potato with sour cream and butter which is a BIG challenge. Not the potato, but the sour cream and butter is. I really REALLY want to skip out on the butter and sour cream but I have to challenge myself at some point.
So I asked my dietician… is it ok to eat ice cream, a loaded baked potato, and a pop tart (I got pop tarts) in one day. Her answer; YES it is totally ok! It is ok to eat a little ice cream, a baked potato, and a pop tart in one day. My body knows what to do with it. Everything really is OK in moderation. A few "fun"" foods in one day is not a problem! All these things can be part of a healthy diet. Really. It is ok to enjoy food!!
A lot of the time I don't feel like I deserve good food… I use food as an incentive or a punishment. But every person, every creature deserves food. It is a right.
So eat and be merry. YOU DESERVE TO EAT!!!
