It's been 5.5 months since I got hit by a car. I started work again last week.

I have a hard time with my diet plan. I do well in the day and I eat dinner and then I want to binge eat. The exercise that you do when you want to binge eat is a mindfulness technique. You sit with the feeling and just "watch it". Let it go over you. Don't react to it. Eventually the feeling of "I want to binge eat" is supposed to pass.

I get so uncomfortable during this time I can only "stand it" for so long. I eventually get up and go for the food that I want which was dry cereal last night. I guess whatever feelings are in the noggin I don't want to think about. I will have to keep trying.

I am learning to walk again. Well I can walk but I look like a robot and I have stamina for about 50 feet. It's really terrible. So I decided I would go on the sidewalk at the plaza I work at and count squares. Today I did 2 sets of 32 squares. (I would say that is about 100 feet per set)

Have a nice day everyone. I hope you are all well!
