FF #31: the first of ten

FF #31: learn 10 things about myself.

I have learned that I don't always recognise when I'm unhappy.

You can read more about this on my other blog. I've had a surprising, emotional, revealing couple of weeks working with Paul McKenna's Freedom From Emotional Eating. One of the things I've learned is that sometimes I have to take a step away from my usual routine, habits and expectations to see whether I'm happy where I am.

For the last few years, my Sundays have been distinguished by near-continuous eating, which I've put down to boredom or recovery from my long training runs on Saturdays. But through Paul McKenna's book I've realised that the eating has been down to anxiety - my Sundays have not been happy days. Since I started the book my Sundays have dramatically improved and are much happier. I've lost a sadness I wasn't aware I had. It feels great.
