I think I am back.
I've gained almost all the weight I lost back and I am so disappointed in myself.
I'm struggling with my need to eat all day long. I've been somewhat successful with gum but it can only last so long. I noticed I eat more when family things are going on and it is such a struggle to accept that I am addicted to food. A drug addict would grab his drug of choice when things get shitty. I grab food. I've made smarter choices about the kinds of food I snack on but have yet to start my food journal again. I know I need to but I feel just so out of sorts. Food addiction is laughed at. It can't be real can it? All these years I thought "HA! I survived my life without an addiction to drugs or booze like half my family" Yet, I will eat 6 snowballs after a shitty conversation with my mom.
I am giving myself three goals to finish by Tuesday (due to work schedules Tuesday to Tuesdays are our week)
- Work out at least 3 times this week.
- Drink enough water.
- Come to my journal instead of food when I am upset.
I also want to look into some sort of detox. Not really a detox per say but a flushing of my system. I also want to spend less time at my computer which I have recently succeeded. This one will be tricky since this journal is online but I want to cut my internet time in half which still gives me tons of time.
