Going to the Zoo!

yup today Kaylee and I are joining Kate and Amelia and we are off to the Zoo, i really should get a yearly pass like Kate has, will have to talk Darryl into that, then we can go all the time, brilliant place for a walk, i mean how many times can you say you went out and did some steps today and saw the elephants, lions and giraffes!! Then we may do a lap or 2 (gossiping all the way of course) of Western Springs and then we are off shopping (yes AGAIN!!) there is apparently (heard this through the TM msg board) a bodyshop sale on today at the showgrounds, i LOVE body shop stuff, yummo!

You know i never used to eat so much as i do now, even a couple of months ago i was eating sensibly, and i have been searching and searching and i cannot for the life of me work out why i started eating like crap again, is it emotional? i really dont know, like i said in Kates blog comments yesterday, i dont get that rumbly tummy feeling, i dont FEEL hungry, so why do i need to eat until i am full where i was never hungry in the first place? i think in order to get my eating under control i need to work this out.

As a kid i never ate junk food, never, we couldnt afford it, and we ate very small portions, it was enough (most of the time) so when i got my first job, i could afford all the things i could never have, and i would eat junk, a lot of it, it is embarressing, chips, chocolate, lollies, candyfloss, all the time. i dont know if i was trying to catch up on what i missed out on as a kid, or if i just got greedy, i just ate so much crap, and hid it too, "hibernate" as mum called it, in my room and eat. i shudder now when i think about just how much i ate in one sitting, it was A LOT and for a skinny girl (as i once was) it was one hell of a shame. so now a few years down the track, i still hide my food, if i eat junk, i dont usually do it infront of people, i do it on my own, im ashamed of it, but i still do it. hopefully i can really get it under control soon, because the only person i am really lieing to, is myself.....

I could never understand why i got fat, until i realised all the sugar i was eating was the contributing factor to start with, i have never, and still dont, like deep fried foods, they make me feel sick and discusting and 9 times out of 10 i end up puking afterwards, just so gross, but i guess these arent the only foods that make you fat aye?

Yay, we are going to the zoo!

I know exactly what you mean about the eating thing. It's time for us to have a healthy relationship with food - and use food for what it is meant for (energy and nutrition!), and get all the emotional stuff elsewhere. You might find this book I have been reading helpful.

We can do it! (And no cake for us today!)

I also used to hibernate in my room and eat junk as a teenager, because my parents didn't buy alot of that type of food (I am the eldest of 5 kids)
The sad thing is..I think I did it just because I could...if only I could turn back time:)
Hope you and Kate have a great day at the zoo!!

Hi Carla
Came across your blog through Kates. Well done on starting to blog as I find it really helps me and all our friends in cyberland seem to understand our difficulties in weight loss etc where as sometimes our family and friends don't understand where we are coming from especially if they have never had a weight problem themselves!
Will be back to check in later on. Good luck with the seminar tomrrow - looking forward to reading all about it. I have heard some good stories about it.
Keep up the good work.

When my boy was little we lived in Auckland and had a yearly pass to the zoo. It was a great investment - always a way to fill in an afternoon and get him out of the house.
