*^~*^~Goals for Today~^*~^*

It's time to set some goals again. Pick one thing you would like to accomplish - make it small and measurable so you don't set yourself up for failure. If you feel comfortable, post it here so you have others to be accountable to - that always helps me.
My goal again for the next three nights (Tue, Wed, Thu), is not to eat after dinner. I typically have an evening snack, but due to digestive problems it would be better for me if I didn't. I will check in tomorrow to let you all know how I did.

Actually yesterday I did set a goal for this morning....
I have been eating junk food again lately, and that is all I have been eating for the last couple days, so I made a deal with myself last night that I would start out my day with a healthy breakfast. This morning I had Cheerios (o: before I even read this post, lol. That tends to be my major weakness is fear/avoidance of certain foods (mostly healthy ones) and living off of junk. It comes and goes.

Whether or not you see it, there's a rainbow after every storm.
OK, so last night I didn't make it. We had dinner at a restaurant and I hadn't eaten much during the day (doctor's appointment, work,

Kristina,
When I was seeing a counselor for ED she put me on a nutrition plan and I was told to eat little but often...
Thank you for the encouragement Michelle. I really am questioning if the not having a snack is a good idea. I too eat several small meals a day and dinner is typically the 5th time I eat something. More and more I am thinking that I need to set a time limit just because of the digestive problems I have, and make sure it’s a snack, not a full meal. I will see how it goes tonight. And I when I do go to bed hungry, I don’t tend to sleep as good.
Love & hugs, Kristina
Thanks for asking (o:
I have my "moments" but overall I am doing much better. I haven't had a scale for ages so I am not sure of my weight, but my pants are getting tight which I am actually accepting with a positive attitude! It hit last night.... like a huge relief; a sense of calmness/happiness....
I resembled a "biker chick" yesterday. Wearing hip hugger cut-offs and a tight black tee..... my stomach was actually hanging over my shorts (resembling a mini beer belly)
Wow, that's great progress Michelle. How awesome is that. It's nice when your body, or the size of it, finally doesn't rule your life or mood anymore.
I woke up this morning concerned about the size of my snack last night and fear that I would gain weight. It wasn't pleasant and I have not had that feeling in a looooong time, but I started thinking positive thoughts and asking God to help me through it. I started feeling better and didn't starve myself all day like I initially wanted. It's interesting how programmed those ED thoughts are and how hard it is at times NOT to give in to them. I keep reminding myself to do the right thing.
