I am concentrating on one aspect of my eating right now. Not caloric intake. Not amounts of carb vs proteins. Not exersize and calories in vs calories out. I am focusing on not eating between meals. Eating between meals is a huge downfall of mine. I am a boredom eater. Every meal has a beginning and an end. I am on day 3 of this and I slipped last night while my nephews were here but the day before was great and today has been great. Calories and nutritionally not good but right now compulsion is my focus. I hope that after a week or so, I will be able to add a new focus of nutrition. First things first. I used to binge from the time I woke up to the time I went to bed. Now I am binging 3 times a day. Still bad. Recovery doesn't (and won't) be perfect. I have to remember that any progress is still progress that will lead to more progress and finally recovery.
Congratulations on your success today and for continuing past the slip.
ReplyDeleteI started (again) a plan for healthy eating on Monday. I'm focusing first on overall caloric intake and portion control. I have a lot of issues with portion control. I had a book club meeting on Tuesday night and definitely had some "off plan" eating, but I went back to plan on Wednesday and am still on plan today.
It's good to acknowledge even the small steps because even the small steps forward get us to where we are going.
Absolutely! Good luck to you on your journey, also.
