I read a great post in the forums called "binge eating monster" for those who also suffer from binge eating or are curious about it. Her journey spoke to me as well as her comments about what's worked for her. You can also find it on her blog at nauticalowl.blogspot.com in the article called, "Binge Eating, My Gobble Monster". It's worth a read if you struggle with binging.
I continue to feel great, happy & healthy. And, I'm excited to review the "lab results" as I continue to in addition to logging my food, also log what I'm feeling before & after I eat plus how hungry I am before & after. I'm not sure if the results will be conclusive about anything, but I'm curious to see if there are patterns. (For the record, from what I've been reading about emotional eating, the logging should be done with curiosity instead of judgement... so I'm trying to keep my inner critic at bay!)
TGIF! Our weekend is a little in flux. One of my husband's best friend's mother-in-law passed away & the services are tomorrow but about a 2 1/2 hour ride from our home, so we're sorting that out. We were to have dinner with friends tomorrow night, but now that's in flux too. In the past, my OCD would have kicked in & I'd be anxious about deciding what we'll do, but I have to say that the serenity prayer is working & I'm feeling much more serene in general and much more willing to speak up to him about what I want/need (in this case to do either or, but not both).
So, to continue with my serenity, I'll begin my day in prayer --
God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His Will;
That I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him
Forever in the next.
Amen.
And again I will take it one day, meal, bite, moment or emotion at a time & through each I'll pray, breathe, log, post & express! xoxox
