Good morning to all! I hope that everyone is experiencing the beautiful weather like we have here! Sun shining and cool temperatures!
I mentioned yesterday that I was working on a new plan. I have decided that my new approach is two fold, I am going to approach it like when I was first diagnosed with bi-polar disorder, and generalized anxiety disorder. I need to accept the fact that things need to change, that I have to recognise what does and doesn't work, rate how I feel about my food choices on a 1 to 10 scale! One being bad choices in food and 10 being excellent. To graph my progress, like eating with in my RDI, much like I graphed my good and bad days. To joural about what made me eat certain things and what trigger certain choices that I made that day. It's all part of behavioual modification.
So this first day is about saying good-bye to copious amounts of my comfort food, the food that I used as a drug to numb the feeling that I had whether they were good or bad. I know that some were catastrophe thinking, and full of unrealistic thoughts that the food was a replacement for something that would take away everything that I preceived to be wrong in my life. Will I miss these foods? Yes! Will the need to indulge in them rear is ugly head? Of course it will. But like I have had to learn to control my bad days I will learn to control this as well.
I have already accepted that things need to change which was much easier then my life changing diagnosis. The good food will be like my medication that I need to take everyday. And I know that not everyone will understand, but I will educate anybody who wants to learn about it. Well as much as I know anyways!
This day marks the first day of my life changes. I have given myself 65 days to reach my goal. Part one of the plan. My future journals will include numbers, and explainations.
Now onto my daily news lol! Yesterday was not too bad. Work was tolerable, after work it was off to mom's and hung out there for awhile. Then came home and ate till I had all my bad foods used up! The best part of the day was receiving a card from my closest friend that brightened my whole week! It was wonderful, I am so grateful to have this person in my life! :)
Today however I did have planned to go biking but the gear shifter on my bike is brocken so I have to wait and get it fixed! So I'll have to find someother activity to replace it! Which I will.
Well time to go for now! Wishing everyone a good day, full of love and laughter! Much love and respect to my buddies! I raise my ice cold water and say cheers to you all!!
