I’ve been trying to follow the ‘golden rules’ – but I’ve been so busy this week, getting ready for the birth of third child. Tomorrow morning, I’ll go back to really focusing on how I eat and eating consciously. We were fully expecting the baby to be born this week – our other two were born two weeks early. Apparently, the new baby is just fine, and has decided to wait a few more days.
Hard lessons I had to learn –
1. Following the golden rules requires a table, a knife, a fork, and the ability to sit and think.
2. I cannot follow the rules AND drive.
3. It IS possible to eat out and follow the rules, but it is very, very difficult. Better to have a bigger meal at home and then a smaller meal with friends.
I’ll admit – I thought that I could ‘modify’ the rules – and return to eating in front of the television or while driving – and I can’t. I’m glad I figured this out and now I’m ‘back’ to following the rules, strictly.
Congrats on your third child! I’ve enjoyed reading your blog. Keep up the good work.
Nice work on losing weight!
I added you to my blog roll.
