Usually I can go about 3-4 days without any junk food after which I have urges to binge to 'celebrate my progress'. This yo-yoing has really affected my confidence in my abilities to lose weight in the past.
This is the first week ever where I haven't eaten any junk food. This may sound trivial but I cannot express how elated I am. I am finally starting to understand what people mean when they say that losing weight is more about changing your mindset than controlling your diet and depriving yourself. At the start of my diet I thought that after going an extended period without junk food would lead me to binge but this doesn't seem to be the case. I feel confident that even if I do eat something unhealthy, it won't be the end of the world. I'm confident that I can eat a portioned size and go on with my day without it leading to binging. And I don't even feel deprived of my binges since I've come to realize how ridiculous they are.
Could this be the start of a new me? I don't want to get too ahead of myself, since it's only been half a month but I can feel that this time it is going to be different. I think I am finally starting to develop a healthy, non obsessive relationship with food.
Love this community for all the love and support that it gives. Your guys's advice and stories is what keeps me going :)
