You may wonder how much I know about the practical stuff. Like what happens when you eat what.I actually know far too much. Maybe even an overdose of knowledge. This journey has never been about ignorance. It's been something quite different.
In my life, everything fascinates me. I have YouTube'd videos of key-cutting machines and how to prepare a fresh squid. I get excited by seeing behind the scenes of anything ... a supermarket, a McDonalds, an Emergency Service Communications centre ...
Anything involving my health is the same. I can tell you all about Myopia and Astigmatism.
I can tell you all about eating as well.
But there has been a disconnect between my knowledge and my actions. I eat too much and I eat the wrong stuff.
I have never questioned whether you can have your cake and eat it too ...
I have been doing this for a really long time too. Twice I have undertaken 'dieting', once with Jenny Craig - great food but really expensive, and once with Weight Watchers. Both times I lost maybe 10kg and eventually put even more back on.
And three times I have undertaken healthy eating for the sake of another to varying degrees of success.
Unless I can get to the point where I am choosing to eat for health and choosing to do it forever (not just losing the same 10kg over and over ...) - I will be destined to the same fate.
