"Taking things a day at a time" - I need to adopt that. Sometimes I feel so overwhelmed, thinking how am I going to keep this up for so long? But you're right - just think about how I'll do it today. Every decision counts. Thanks!
I know. There are many of us (myself included) that have a terrible relationship with food. Shouldn't we just live with food keeping us going? Don't you wonder why it's called a relationship in the first place? Seriously messed up.
You can do! You…
I hear you...only on my end..it was hearing my mama in my head "Don't Waste Food!" "Finish your plate!" "There are starving kids in other parts of the world!" I have 2 kids who waste food that I have finished the plates of. Last week I weighed it at…
Today I realized that there is something totally schizophrenic about my behavior with food.
I know that if I eat a little bit more than I should, that I will definitely gain weight. Yet, I feel that if I abstain from eating that little bit more, no…
Yes. Everyone slips up! And just like we shouldn't reward ourselves with food (from losing weight), we also shouldn't punish ourselves with food (from gaining weight). Break free! You are stronger than chocolate!
I'm a visual person - I learn when I see things, I register and remember things when I can visualize them. This is why the scale has been such an addiciction for me - I needed to SEE a number, to have a number to associate with myself, to tack onto…
I'm like that too - I get on the scale all hopeful that maybe IT happened on its own, and that I'll see a lower number. I'm just lying to myself though - it will only happen if I make it happen. I have to start taking the responsibility for what I e…
I'm reading it! It's good for me to read those positive thoughts too. I like how you tell yourself that your fav foods will not disappear and you can have them later. It kinda helps to not freak out when avoiding something, huh? Keep it up, Miss Pur…
I'm going to do it this time.
It never worked before, but it will this time. And I need to crowd out all the negative feelings and voices with new, positive affirmations. I need to talk myself into it.
I will tell myself:

It's the Little Things
Today I realized that there is something totally schizophrenic about my behavior with food.
I know that if I eat a little bit more than I should, that I will definitely gain weight. Yet, I feel that if I abstain from eating that little bit more, nothing will happen. It will not be worth it - the effort is so great, and the results are nonexistent.
I think, what's another bite of that? An extra swig of that? Finishing off my husband's uneaten portion? It seems like such a small thing it can't p… Continue

The Numbers
I'm a visual person - I learn when I see things, I register and remember things when I can visualize them. This is why the scale has been such an addiciction for me - I needed to SEE a number, to have a number to associate with myself, to tack onto myself, to compartmentalize and file away "me" for today. For example, today I AM 184.
But the scale, and those clear, precise numbers, have also been my downfall. Last week, I tried so hard. I avoided temptation, I counted my calories and stayed wit… Continue

I need a mantra
I'm going to do it this time.
It never worked before, but it will this time. And I need to crowd out all the negative feelings and voices with new, positive affirmations. I need to talk myself into it.
I will tell myself:
~ Every decision counts.
~ I WILL see those numbers go down.
~ I can look smashing
~ I will forgo the food now - it will not disappear - I will eat it later when I'm thin
~ Others have done it. It is possible. I will do it too.
I will hold myself accountable to this blog. E… Continue
