10. start eating better - more homecooked meals, less takeaway
so, how's this going? well, it could be much much better. I mean, I eat ok... not horrific. But I am so tired, so busy, so needing to just VEG that I eat lots of takeaway. and you know when you start filling your belly with processed, sugary foods.. you crave more processed, sugary foods.
and can I tell you.. I've been feeling it. My bowels have been feeling it. Ok, more info than needed but I do realise just how great I feel when I eat properly and how GROSS i feel when I don't.
Anywhoo, another reason to really do this is because of the whole depression thing. At our last session, my therapist told me that a big thing to do with my moods is the whole sugar level thing, and it makes perfect sense. Don't eat good food, regularly (every 2 hrs), my sugar levels drop, I binge on sweet stuff/alcohol to spike me up, and spike me up indeed is what happens.
So she said - every 2 hours (literally, timing it) I need to eat some protein. Tuna / nuts / cheese / hummous.. whatever. But proper protein.
It's pay day on Saturday, and I've got my first day off for ages, so I'm going to do this. SHop up, prepare meals, prepare snacks, and start feeling better.
It's quite exciting to come upon a new lead :)

A good diet is the key to it all I reckon! I've also read that having protein every 2 hours helps with maintaining steady blood sugar levels. So now we just have to actually do it!!
