I just finished watching Oprah. I'm not an Oprah show person, unless it's about weight loss or nutrition, this one was about Geneen Roth's new book, Women, Food, and God.
In the show's attractions, she said that this may be the show that will help break the bad relationship that we have with food. I'm paraphrasing, but I was intrigued. She kept talking about epiphanies, and light bulb moments, and although I listened to the show intently, it just didn't do it for me.
I get that we "compulsive" eaters drown our emotions with food in order to avoid feeling what is really bothering us. I mean, I get this, I know that I do this too, and I need to work on being kind to myself, but it still left me "hungry" for more, pardon the pun.
I'm going to check out her book, Geneen's, even though I didn't like her other book, "Breaking Free from Emotional Eating" for reasons that I stated here, Shelfari
I can use all the help I can get.
In other news: I made myself go out and walk, I did one, very slow, very painful mile, but a mile just the same. Because of my condition, I haven't been able to do this since my back problem started in November, so far, this is my third mile since last month, and I am really proud of myself.
Food-wise I'm doing well, today being the first day of restarting Weight Watchers.
I hope to do the same tomorrow, and another thing, I was able to read some more of my book, "Relentless" it's getting really interesting!
PM Update: Total points, 20.5.
