I've been working hard at losing weight and being mindful of the food I'm eating. My biggest problem was usually my mental approach to eating and food, especially as I have an all-or-nothing way of thinking that I'm working on.
Yesterday was my mother's birthday, and her second one in lockdown, so we (my sisters and I) wanted to make it special. We all live together, so we decided to make some of her favourite dishes, and we ordered special chocolates and flowers. And guess what?! I still stuck to my calories and didn't gorge myself! Sure, I ate a few more calories, but I was still well below my BMR. Other times, I would basically binge just to "celebrate" but this time I actually was super aware and genuinely enjoyed the foods that I ate that weren't normally part of what I eat on the regular. No guilt, no shame, AND I got to really enjoy my mom's birthday.
This comes after a few months of working with a therapist and getting my medication to the right dose, but wow.... It's amazing what your brain can do when it's healthy.
