I'm having a very hard time trying to be confident. I feel guilty after every single food that I eat, and I have no idea what to do about it. I'm afraid of some bad habits to come back... :(

    Why would you feel guilty? You NEED food to live. I'm having a "Son of Baconator" from Wendys as I type this, nothing to feel guilty about.

    need to repair your relationship with food.

    Coming to grips with the reality that food is fuel.

    once you realize that - you can stop worrying so much about what kind of food it is- and more about are you getting enough to fuel your body for what you are asking it to do

    ^^This, and more than fuel, it is OK to enjoy your food!!! Food is life! There is nothing shameful in savoring your allotted amounts of food. In fact, I encourage it!

    Thanks everybody! I'm trying pretty hard, and some days are definitely worse than others. I get super optimistic, and say "whatever, I love my body, I'll eat this cake!" and others I feel horrified that I even thought about eating something that isn't my regulars.

    But I am going to look into more practice with dealing with my feelings and try to erase those negative thoughts.

    Once again, thanks!
