Food choices or life choices

After the last week of relapse I am really beginning to believe in the idea of trigger foods and trigger moods.
I really have to ask myself do I want to be 14st 7lbs.
Look at the food available and reasons for eating the food.
Will this food hinder me or will it help me?
I am not anti-food, I have to make a choice good or bad food. Not all food is equal.
Decide to eat the food based on what I want?
Basically approach the food with a sense of detachment.
Clear logical thought input = output
Set goals and objectives.
Create timeframe to achieve objectiveS
Monitor and review objectives
Complete goals
Review and start again

Weigh in.... A step forward

I seem to be at a plateau or am I? I was at a pleteau at 16st 10lbs as well.

I have to go back to the gym and exercise.

Running....

Well I bought the runners. I was told by surgeon not to run or do any intensive exercise for at least 2 weeks.In case stitches open. So I will start again in two weeks time.

Weigh in: A step backwards

Well I weighed myself today. I found myself to be 15st 11lbs. An increase of 3lbs. Why did this happen?
I had an operation this week. Nothing serious still I dont like operations.The operation was performed to help cure the fissure in my bowel.
The surgeon told me to increase my intake of fibre by eating wholegrains,fruit and vegetables.
Otherwise I will be back on the operating table again.
Once fissures happen they can happen again and again.

I over-ate on or to be more correct I binged on Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Wednesday. This didnt solve any of my problems or make me feel any better other than for 5 seconds intervals that I actually ate food.
So what have I learnt.

Food does not solve problems.
Some foods can cause you to be hungry.Rather than end hunger.

Also I need to make time for regular exercise.

Am I really learning..... do I need a constant reminder.I think I do.
I will have to think about this.

Running....

Hi
Well today, I was talking to a colleague. He has been running for the last 25 years. A lot of experience.I told him about my ambition to run a marathon. He said that running a marathon is an unbelievable experience. But needs a lot of training.So Im gonna pay attention to every bit of advice.
He invited me to go for a run next Thursday.(Thursday and Friday are his slow days). I told him about my issues with running. He said lenghtening my strides should reduce my impact issues.So I'm gonna go for a run next Thursday. Also I am going to buy a new pair of runners.I aim to do at least 5k plus.
One step at a time....
