Down 16 lbs since June 26th - not a world record... but I will take it. Read a really great book on changing your thinking so that you can learn to LOVE yourself. Still strange to me to think that is so difficult for me to love myself. In one of the lessons in the book I had to write an apology letter to myself and ask for forgiveness from my body for mistreating it so with food. List out all of the pain I had caused myself (physically and emotionally by eating so much)... I never really thought about it before, but each time you overeat you are mistreating yourself.. which is not love - it is abuse. Sometimes what starts out as a coping mechanism for dealing with something tramatic becomes your go to for dealing with everything that happens to you. Then you never learn to deal with things in a good healthy way. At the end of the letter you have to ask yourself for forgiveness and also for God to help heal you... it was a very humbling and eye opening lesson - so I thought I would share. Even if food isnt your demon of choice, maybe you can still relate.
