Uncomfortably FULL.

13Mar08

I’m trying to break myself out of the way I’ve been eating for the past few weeks. Not only is it unhealthy, it’s uncomfortable as well.

I just ate a turkey burger with cheese, some French fries and a cookie for lunch. I’m FULL. Not just regular full. Uncomfortably FULL. And I don’t like this feeling at all.

Today, I’ve set a task to begin re-reading The Beck Diet Solution. I KNOW that the concepts in the book work for me because they have in the past, so I need to get back to that place, where I have self esteem, where I’m not overeating, where I’m feeling good about myself, and most importantly, I need to get back to a place where I am the one in control, NOT the food.

I know I’m just having a rough patch right now, binging on foods that I’ve felt I’ve been deprived of and miss. I know that I can get back on track, it’s in me somewhere, I know it is. It’s just that I’ve been going overboard and am having a hard time trying to stop. If I keep this up I’ll be right back into the 170’s instead of trying to get down into the 150’s.

I’ve finished the first part of the book and have started creating response cards. Some of the stuff is a little redundant since I’ve read it all before, but it doesn’t matter. It’s the same as going to WW meetings. I’ve heard all of the topics before, but I NEED that reinforcent so I don’t ever forget all of the things I’ve learned with WW that will give me continued success with the program.

I’m trying. I am. I’m gonna get back there. It’s just gonna take some time.

I’m determined to work out tomorrow morning. I WILL work out tomorrow morning.

    You talk about the Beck Diet Solution. What is it that you like about it?

    Author and motivational speaker Brian Tracy says that people are happy to the degree that they are in control of their lives. I have found if I take control of just one thing that has been flopping in the wind it really helps.

    Emotional eating is triggered by, well, negative or stressful emotions. Adding the stress of beating yourself up over your eating is counterproductive to stopping emotional eating. Of course getting to the underlying reason why we eat when emotional is the real issue. But taking control of some small things can help on the emotional front – make it just feel a bit better and reduce some of that constant gnawing anxiety over food.
