Guest guest Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 Hi Friends just wanted to say hello. I have made a committment to not do diets/ food plans again. I just came off a intense binge/ food plan cycle, that went on for months. I just cant do it anymore. I was in greysheet anonymous, which fealt like a straight jacket. And honestly, I feel so many rules arround food was making my eating disorder worse. Here is what is working for me now. 1 light structure arround food, right now 3 meals a day and 2 snacks of anything, sugar or what ever.. unless I want to eat treat foods for meals.. 2) lots of self love, self awareness, journeling 3) paying attention to my hunger and full point 4) lots of inner self soothing talk, like " its ok sweetheart, I trust you with food, we are ok now " 5)honoring what is working for me , whether others feel different... as I have my own path and take bits and pieces of others, that are in harmony with me.. I use to feel like an alcoholic with food, that if I have one bite of the wrong food, sugar , ect, that the cravings are unbearable, which they were... and I would have to binge. but since I have lifted the restriction, I can eat small portions of chocalate and all my so called forbidden foods and be done with it with out binging. I know I do need some boundaries as it causes alot of anxiety for me, to not have any structure. So I plan my meals still But am able to change if I dont like what I planned. As I do at almost all meals. Anyway, am so looking forward to getting to know this group. You are my heroes.. I feel this loop is suporting my path.. Good for us!!!
