My swelling is down YAY

Ok so all week I stayed away from salt. Well as much as I could without complete denial lol. Coming from a salt addict that is. I feel so much better and am actually beginning to taste my food. Would you talk to NO SALT Challenge with me? What food is the hardest for you to eat without salt. Mine would have to be raw veggies or popcorn I suppose. I did buy this "light salt" but apparently it is just regular salt cut in half lol..
This week I am focusing on why I emotionally eat. What is emotional eating and how to cure it. I will give you a little bit about my history but my mom reads this and I do not want to make her sound bad or make her sad so I will omit some things.
From the age of 6-7 I was a tiny bit overweight probably totally normal for what kids are today but this is in the 70's. Maybe 8-10lbs overweight between the ages of 7-10. I remember my mom taking me in to see the dietitian and her asking me what I ate and I told her corn and potato's and she replied only cows and pigs eat those foods. Something like that. Well that was a life changing moment for me. In my infantile thinking because I was so young I heard YOU ARE A PIG OR A COW? I was so devastated and it made me sad.
My mom would try to watch my food intake and have me exercise for punishment so of course for the rest of my life I related exercise to punishment so do you think I ever enjoyed it? NO!
OO a storm is coming have to shut down
Be back soon
