Guest guest Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 Way to go Dawn good for you. Eva Today I ate bacon with breakfast, a Boston Creme donut, a fried chicken cutlet hero with mayonnaise/cheese, cheeseburger hamburger helper and a pint of ice cream. But I did it so differently than usual. It wasn't a ravenous pigout in which I was stuffing food into my mouth at lightening speed (then feel lethargic, guilty and sick after). I ate everything slowly, mindfully...tasting each bite fully reminding myself that this would not be the last time I ate these foods...that I could even eat another pint of ice cream tomorrow. I ate when I felt slight hunger pangs and stopped when I felt satisfied. I PUT HALF OF THE HERO AWAY FOR LATER because the first half satisfied me!!!! WOW! Of course, the "food police" entered my head several times, but I pushed them out and repeated several phrases to myself/referred to the book. I felt like I shouldn't be eating the food I had chosen to eat today, but at the same time eating them in the way that I did felt terrific. It felt so good not to stuff myself to the point of nausea!!! I know it's only one day, but I am proud!------------------------------------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 Congrats on a great 'first step' - the (IE) journey of a thousand miles (meals) begins with a single step (bite).
