LL Daily - Day 6 - 'Lightbulb Moment' & Dad x

So yesterday I did errands and walked 4 miles before breakfast - a shake at 11ish. Ate two thirds of a bar at 3.30ish (peanut) - just didn't fancy the rest. It was okay so not about the taste. It's now 7.30pm ish and have just made a soup. But not feeling hunger and wasn't bothered about having it. But the programme says 4 packs a day so that's the deal and I have a shake to take later. Lightbulb moment >>> ketosis means I am not feeling hunger and so (today at least) I feel as though I am not 'bothered' about eating at all; not looking forward to it, not anticipating it. The programme takes all the joy out of food. It has become purely functional. Food truly was my instant pleasure (with long term negatives unfortunately.)



The Sun Has Got His Hat On - my Dad
would sing this on a sunny morning!



So need to ensure my daily joy is catered for whilst on programme.

And need to ensure when I return to food the way I focus on it changes. I think I am going to appreciate flavours so much more while thinking about the nutritional content.

Just realised it is Father's Day - so thinking about my Dad who passed away 10 years ago. I think I have lots of unresolved issues regarding my dad that link to my mild depression and overeating. He was an alcoholic, he never got well and his horrid addiction impacted on us all growing up. & I think maybe it does today still. Hope some of this will unravel during my therapy work on LLT as I understand my own food addiction and thinking. So thinking of my Dad today - he loved the sun.
