I've decided to keep posting updates, mostly for myself. It feels good to throw this journey into the world.
I've struggled with food obsession, binge eating, and worst of all boredom eating. So I've made a commitment to only eating when I'm truly hungry. It's going surprisingly well. Today for lunch we had McDonald's. And I was kind of a glutton. But I wasn't hungry for breakfast so I ate until I was full then stopped. And I'm still full. I had a few bites of what I made for my boys for dinner but truly only a couple bites.
I feel very hopeful. I've been able to stay in control of myself the last few days. I can stave off the cravings because I tell myself that when I am hungry, I can have what I want. I'd like to keep this going for a few weeks and then lean into portion control. The restrictive nature of diets is what I have such trouble with. So saying "yes, but" is extremely helpful.
In 3 days I've lost a pound. It's not much but it's a start. I read on someone else's post a while ago that she kept motivated by having 5 lb goals. Even though her over all goal was more than 100. So I'm working toward that 5 lbs. And I'm gonna celebrate when I hit it and then jump towards the next 5.
