Guest guest Posted October 2, 2009 Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 Well I walked to work 4 days this week (it's only 2/10 mile) and I actually have begun to experiment with vegetables. At first when I started IE, it was NO WAY am I eating anything that has to do with a diet!!! - which for me translates to - no fruits, vegies, exercise. So I seem to have gotten some of the rebellion out of me now and am starting to eat dried fruits and adding vegies to soups. I still cannot bring myself to eat salad. It feels like I'm making progress toward really loving and caring for myself. Today I had a crappy day at work. I had a customer that I just wanted to run and hide from and we were a little short on cash this week. I guess this was enough to make me want to escape and I overate when I got home from work. I dont expect to be perfect at this. I realize this is a pattern I've developed and perfected all my adult life so I expect to go into old patterns once in awhile. I also see that things are getting better for me and that I'm no longer defined by these old behaviors. Deb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 3, 2009 Report Share Posted October 3, 2009 " No longer defined by old behaviors " , what a powerful phrase. Sometimes when I am sort of making myself try new ways and not being stuck in those old/destructive patterns, it doesn't feel good. Sometimes it feels very foreign and " wrong. " But I am learning to trust that intuitive voice in me and so it get's stronger. Then I trust it more, and so on, around and around. Thanks for you post. It helped me.
