THE CC DIET: A NEW RELATIONSHIP WITH FOOD

Consuming calories in Red Rum

When I started this diet in August (and I have since already lost over two stones), it was with a view to making any weight loss permanent.  That was going to require a new relationship with food.

As a rower in my youth, I could consume a whole packet of custard creams in a single sitting.  A skill I have to confess I hadn't lost, and had found was transferrable to digestive biscuits too. Though a skill I have had to un-learn.

Just before 10pm Friday

I am having to look at food in a new way.  Not to consume, but to savour.

To walk past a burger van.

To look at food labelling for the kJ rating.

To enjoy a wide range of food, but in more modest quantities.

An approach which I am trying to ingrain for the
foreseeable future.  Fingers crossed.
