Guest guest Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 I woke up this morning and just mindlessly ate breakfast. Then, I caught myself. I caught myself in a trap I have set for myself and trapped myself in for over 30 years. I started to examine why I ate adn criticize myself for doing something wrong. A virtual beating over the head that I perform as a ritual after every meal. This ritual of my own making crushes myself esteem and enforces that I am a failure at dieting. Diet rules of the past were ammunition I used as proof of my wrongdoing. SO, with no rules to point to, other than I was not hungry, the beating is less frequent and severe. Now that I have caught myself red-handed, I can prevent using IE as a stick and refuse any mental punishment when I enjoy a meal. What a change in thinking that would be. My problem then becomes, I can't use eating to beat myself up, now what do I do? Does this make sense? marie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
