Inner struggle with change

[Guest guest]

I don't post here much, but I have gotten to number 19 of the podcasts

and have been keeping a journal (and just started the success

journal). I have been doing a little better with stopping when I am

satisfied, and my overeating episodes have been much smaller than

before. However, sometimes I still get this voice in my head that

says, " You don't want to stop eating the way you do. You love eating

all these " bad " things, and its no fun if you can only have a little. "

I try to reason with this voice that there are not " good " and " bad "

foods (because a big part of my binge eating is guilt and categorizing

foods into good and bad) and that I much prefer the way I feel when I

really enjoy the food I am eating and stop before I am stuffed. Most

of the time, though, it hasn't worked and I go through the rest of the

day with this " It's not fair. I don't want to have to learn how to be

normal " attitude. Anybody else go through this or have any tips on

how to get out of this funk?
