tonight i went to UoN's alumni lecture, on pre-natal nutrition and its permanent affects on weight and health throughout life. pretty interesting stuff.
anyway. much talk of the difficulty of dieting and the talk of food 'habits' as a type of addiction.
of course it's difficult to lose weight (and keep the weight off!), because it means changing just about everything to do with our lifestyle; being more active, eating more/ less regularly, drinking less, and, of course, changing the types of food we eat (which can mean massive changes in time management). for weight loss to be permanent, it needs to occur as part of a permanent lifestyle change. just a bit intimidating, yes?
all this made me think of other habits and addictions we can get wrapped up in, and sometimes not even see it. like an addiction to thinking negatively. similarly, conquering this habit requires all round changes in lifestyle...
