Had a dark day yesterday, in terms of my mood. In the middle of it I found myself thinking about my changed eating habits. This really helped me see just how connected to emotion my eating has been for most of my life. In the middle of an emotional moment that had nothing to do with food, I started thinking about my diet! Incredible. I think it's very much tied in with control and pain and anger and god knows what else. Interestingly enough, my thoughts were about how food wasn't going to control me, about how I wasn't going to overeat or eat stuff that wasn't good for me. Before I'd embarked on this attempt to change my life, I think I would have definitely sought out food for comfort after a day like yesterday. The sad part is I wouldn't have even realized that that's what I was doing. I was such a mindless eater. It never occurred to me to ask why I felt the need to eat the way I did. I hope I'm leaving that part of my life behind. I think I am.
Moving on to other topics: I need a digital scale. Even though I make sure to set the scale to zero before stepping on, I never feel like I'm getting a precise measure of my weight. Need to put a digital scale on the shopping list.
