starting again...or trying to

[Guest guest]

hi everyone,

i've been having such a hard time...

basically after 1 day of trying IE i caved and went back to dieting and counting

calories. i just felt so paralyzed by anxiety i didn't think i could do it...

today i got either fed up or got some new courage.

i realized i was still having severe anxiety even with the dieting and the

calorie counting...those activities weren't helping me; in fact i think they

were making me feel worse.

so today i deleted all the entries i'd made into the fitday program and am

trying very much to listen to my body and not restrict my eating.

when i get anxious i'm getting under a blanket head and all and holding my

stuffed bear. sounds nutty i know but it does help me calm down.

i guess i will take it day by day and try to be patient with myself.

thanks for listening,

jen

p.s. i do have the book but i'm having a hard time getting thru it...is there

anything similar that's a little easier reading...i have concentration problems

due to my PTSD
