Do The Work

I feel like I'm just not doing well trying to manage this.  I really have no desire to go into therapy unless all other ways to correct this end up failing.

That in mind, I did some searching last night for some worksheets or something (the kind they give you in therapy) that I could work on by myself.  I found this WONDERFUL and in depth resource.  I printed off the pages (sorry printer), but you could probably just as easily use them digitally and just write your stuff in a notebook.

I don't know that anyone will ever read this Blog, but if they do, maybe this will help someone else someday.

Learning As I Go

It has been a rough couple days, but honestly it could have gone much, much worse. Two nights ago I caved and had the cereal I've been craving. Of course I couldn't just stop and have one bowl, no no... I had two huge bowls and finished the box.  Because of course.  I'm noticing I seem to have issues when I'm tired.  If I'm sleepy, I seem to want to snack.  I don't know what is going on there, but at a cursory glance it seems like I'm trying to fuel myself to stay awake, rather than get the sleep I need. I didn't let guilt weigh me down too much about the mini-binge. I'm still learning, still retraining myself how to eat properly.  And while it wasn't good by any stretch, it was oatmeal cereal and not like... chips or ice cream or pastries. God I love pastries. 😦 Last night we had one of our "freezer pizzas" for dinner.  DiGorno Stuffed Crust.  Now, I truly do not like stuffed crust pizza, so it's very easy for me to not ea...

This Is Some BULLSHIT

So I've been working really hard at containing my binges. I know I still make unhealthy choices, but I'm working REALLY hard to eat on a regular schedule and not let myself get HUNGRY hungry, because that's what sets off a binge. Things were extra difficult over the weekend as we were traveling and there were a lot of bad decisions made. But damn. Why is the scale going UP?!?  I'm so mad. I haven't even been indulging in sweets and what not.  It's just... grr!!  I'm frustrated. I'm training myself to take smaller bites, and chew more thoroughly, and just generally eat slower. I *feel* like I'm eating less. It's just so bizarre to make these changes and to see the number on the scale go up. I mean, even if it was holding steady, I'd be less annoyed. And thankfully we're home now, so no more McDonald's breakfast multiple days in a row. And back to my "no soda" normalcy.  I mean, I know those things definitely had an impa...

This Sucks.

OK but honestly, this is annoying as fuck. Life: *stress* My brain: Eat all the sugary things! Me: No, that won't actually help, knock it off. Brain: EAT. ALL. THE. SUGAR. Me: Seriously, no. Stomach: HUNGER! Me: Ok, I'll go make a sandwich or something. Brain & Stomach: NO FOOD ONLY SUGAR Me: *eats a pile of sugary snacks* Stomach: Why did you do that???? *gets upset* Brain: You suck and this is why you're fat. *depression and anxiety*
