So I started my CICO diet last week. But I’ve done it many times before, so I wanted to approach this time as a chance to fix my relationship with food.
I’m 240, was 245 when I started. I have hypothyroidism, so I’m doing 1400 for the time being under the advice of my PCP. For reference I’m a 5’4 female.
Well today, I woke up completely unstable. I’ve just had a miserable day. I made good choices, but when dinner came around, I lost it. I just wanted McDonald’s. It was easy and it was a comfort meal. I sobbed and cried over this stupid craving I was having that I knew would send me down a rabbit hole of giving up. I can’t have just one small burger, I never can. And I knew that. So I had a big internal battle between McDonald’s and a hello fresh meal me and my partner originally planned to make.
Well, after my melt down, I sat and just reflected on what just happened. Why was it so important to get McDonald’s and why did it hurt so bad when I knew I couldn’t have it?
Then it clicked.
It’s not about the McDonald’s, it’s about the convenience of an easy meal, and before when I was upset and didn’t wanna cook because I was just overwhelmed by the day, I made a habit of going to McDonald’s.
And so I meditated and reflected with my journal about how real my emotional connection is to good, and I think I made a big step in fixing my relationship with food.
Thank you for reading through this. I just wanted to share something that was super important for me.
Oh and we made the meal and it was delicious :)
