Struggling today...

[Guest guest]

I think it's only been about 3-4 days that I've been ie-ing. I know,

that's pretty early with this journey. I've done pretty well the

past couple days, but today is harder for some reason. I haven't

been binging (my normal problem) but I've eaten 3 times today already

when I don't think I've been really hungry, I've just wanted to eat!

I've still probably eaten less than I normally would in a day, but I

hate feeling this drive to eat when I know I shouldn't and then

giving in to it. So, I guess now my challenge is to keep my mind off

what's already done, keep myself busy and away from the kitchen, and

wait until I'm truly hungry before putting something else in my

mouth! This wasn't easy yesterday as it was my son's b-day. I made

the cake and all the goodies and that would generally set off a major

binge for me, but I kept it together. I guess today I'm making up

for that some .

Anyway, I really like how I'm feeling when I wake up in the

mornings. I feel " lighter " , not bloated and yucky from eating too

much before bed the night before. It's actually exciting to wake up

and feel hunger, as opposed to not feeling hungry for hours b/c ate

in the middle of the night. I feel like my body is working more the

way it should. Does that make any sense?

Thanks for listening....
