    October Goal: Read Geneen Roth's "eating guidelines" early in the day each day to remind myself how to approach food and eating.

    W, Oct 10

    beatrix: 8
    The Binge: 2

    :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile: :frown: :frown:

    ● Yesterday I did well until the end of the day and into late evening.
    ● I did not think about my food choices at all today, did not monitor my time eating...just ate. This is why I need the goal to read Roth's guidelines _every_ day. :tongue:
    ● I have been sleep deprived for a couple of weeks now. I think the sleep deprivation is now affecting how well I cope with stress overall. Therefore, I'm going to really work on establishing good sleep time and quality for the rest of the month.

    Edited to add: I did log yesterday and today, and I consider that a good thing. :)


    :heart: Daily Reminders--Geneen Roth's Eating Guidelines :heart:
    1. Eat when you are hungry. (Truly hungry, body hungry not mind hungry)
    2. Eat sitting down in a calm environment. This does not include the car.
    3.Eat without distractions. Distractions include radio, television, newspaper, books, intense or anxiety producing conversation and music.
    4. Eat only what your body wants. (Big difference from what your MIND wants!)
    5. Eat until you are satisfied. (This is different than full.)
    6. Eat (with the intention of being) in full view of others.
    7. Eat with enjoyment, gusto and pleasure.
    ❤ and...❤
    8. Eat slowly.
    Thanks so much for sharing with use!:flowerforyou: I love seeing how process this and it reminds me to be more mindful too and I am sure it will help others too! Keep up the good work!!

    As of October 9, 2012--goal: to binge no more than 7 days

    Me: 7
    Binge: 2 (10/5; 10/7)


    I ate a lot of Chinese food last night and was way over my goal, but it wasn't a binge. It's getting easier to determine what is a ninge and what isn't. I still need to work on controlling both my binges and overeating habits.
    Good job on distinguishing and being more mindful of binges!

    Food for Thought…..

    What will you think?

    I've learned that negative thoughts are inevitable.. the negative thoughts

    about myself will always come and try to scream louder than the Truth that

    is in all the positive things about Me.. So I write down my attributes, my

    accomplishments, my victories great and small, and I Speak them aloud.

    I give them a Voice, I give them MY VOICE, the only voice I will

    not reject and something stirs in me as I continue to read and speak about

    Myself. A power rises up in me, a realization, a strong assurance and

    boldness now carries the sound of Truth about who I am and what good I

    have done and continue to do, it shouts back at those negative thoughts and

    words that might circle in my mind attempting to belittle me, trying to chip

    away at my worth, my ability, my reasons for striving. My Voice is the

    weapon that is cutting away and drowning out the lies, the half truths

    and the distorted images, My Voice speaking about Myself to Myself in a
    Positive way renders those negative thoughts powerless. It is said, there are

    at least ten negative thoughts per one positive thought, but I have learned

    One Positive Thought can birth a Hope that creates a Visions that breeds a

    Plan that Produces the Results of a Dream that was once just a Thought...

    All I need is ONE.


    - Be Free My Friend from self hating hurtful thoughts, Only You can change the way You think and feel about Who You are and what You are capable of.
