I heard something on YouTube the other day that really resonated with me.
“I live with my food black and white, so that I can live my life in brilliant color.”
This is what I do. My food is black and white. I simply plan each morning what I will eat today, and then I go about my day eating what I planned. And I plan good food I will enjoy eating, (which helps a lot!). I measure it all out, and keep track of what I am eating on an app on my phone, so the scale stays exactly the same (within a pound or 2). This “black and white” behavior keeps my thoughts about food calm and quiet, instead of lit up by variable reward, that I wrote about here.
What a lovely January it has been.
