Things are a little better today - just a little. Last night I was able to unload the dishwasher, soak the dirty dishes in some disenfectant, load them into the dishwasher and then turn on the dishwasher. That hasn't been done in quite some time I'm afraid.
However, I only ate popcorn and peanut butter for supper. My tummy was not happy.
I get frustrated that I can work on my housecleaning a bit and feel better about myself, but then stay up too late in the evening (morning) and have a hard time getting out of bed, and hence be late for work (a job I just started).
I did manage to pack a breakfast, but woke up too late to pack a lunch or snacks (problem #1). Of course I got afraid that I wouldn't get enough to eat when I went out so I bought several things at the restaurant and ate them all. Of course, because I 'know' that I am going to clean up my food again, I have to eat things that I won't be able to have for a long time - white flour, sugar, high fat.
Is there such a thing as a complete remission from sugar, fat, white flour obsession?
To try not to sink too far into a funk, I thought about some goals for this month and posted them on this website. I hope they bring some clarity when things get rough.
Hope everyone had a great day.

You just gotta hang in there. There may not be complete remission, but if you stick to it even 95% and fill your day with nonprocessed foods, you'll be amazed at how quickly those cravings go away. I found it easier for me to think not of what I couldn't have but what I could have. And I also tried to remember that cutting out all the yuk was not just a temporary thing but the way I want to live for the rest of my life. Thinking that way, I find that I can tell myself it's okay to have something not good for me every once in a while, because the next day or even the next meal I will be back on track. Great idea posting your goals--I find that putting it down in print makes it more concrete and as you say, brings more clarity during the bad patches. Hang in there!

After a few days, things get better. You can do it, you got yourself off to a good start. Try again. You made progress and that's what counts.

Awesome girl!! Sometimes it takes baby steps. Tidy one thing at a time, focus on cetain parts of the house. Fix your food intake for breakfast first, that sort of thing. So you took some steps back towards the path today and that is a wonderful thing!!
