…not in a bad obsessive way though. That’s a good thing! I’m actually coming to a point where I have to make a decision.

I need to decide where to go from here. Where is here? Well, I’ve been working out, I’ve tried different ways of eating, and still here I sit at the same weight, and my blood work results are not changing.

The last two weeks I’ve been thinking about clean eating, low carb, low fat and every other things I’ve done along the way. I decided if none of them are helping me with the weight loss battle, maybe I need to look at the next thing.

I asked myself…If this is the weight I’m at for the rest of my life, and I knew what I ate was never going to have any effect on my weight, how would I eat?

The answer to that, was looking at the next piece of the puzzle. I guess I’d focus on my diabetes and trying to eat better with that in mind. I think on that count, I’d limit my carb intake some. I’m not sure if this is an answer to anything in particular, but I think I’ll be NOT OBSESSIVELY watching my carbs and the GI index with foods.  Every time I think I’ve made a decision, I change it again.

Do I really want to keep adding chemicals to my body that aren’t naturally found in food. I’ll take some elements I learned about clean eating, and drop my carb count…but you know what? I’m not going to obsess over any of it. I’m going to try to NOT think about food, but think about portions, and which option is the healthiest choice at each meal without feeling like it’s a struggle.

It sounds nice in my head, but who knows for sure what that means on the day to day. Will I be able to do this, will I flip-flop back and forth with stuff? I just know that after 1 year of working hard, and still looking quite similar in the mirror, I’m ready to STOP thinking about food so much.
