    Now it's just a matter of doing what she tells me. I wish therapists had a magic wand and they could just wave it and make you better without your having to do anything... Too bad we have to work for it. ;)

    This...on so many levels. :) They gave me all the tools, but would I actually use them? *Sigh*

    Just for today, 4/7, I will:
    1) not binge. :) Really, really wanted to. Instead, I took the food I wanted to binge on, portioned it out to fit into the calories I had left for the day, and put the rest away.
    2) not multi-task my food. Focusing on what I'm eating instead of simultaneously reading or surfing the web will probably help with #1. :( No, not at all. I listened to an audio book, checked my email, read some forum posts here, played games on my phone...
    3) keep an open mind at my first therapy appointment (I've never done anything like this, but after gaining 15 lbs in 3 months due to binge eating, it's way past time to ask for help). :) Now it's just a matter of doing what she tells me. I wish therapists had a magic wand and they could just wave it and make you better without your having to do anything... Too bad we have to work for it. ;)

    Just for today, 4/8, I will:
    1) not binge.
    2) not multi-task my food. Trying this again.
    3) vacuum, take out the trash, do a load of laundry, and clean the bathrooms.

    Congratulations on having the courage and commitment to seek help when you need it. Smiles!

    I work/live in a very small town under 1000 people. We have not even had a gym here for over 2 years after it shut down because it could not make it. A couple just reopened one a few months ago. It is very laid back.... the owners have other full time jobs. I was down there today and they have good equipment, but no staff hours. It is the best I can ask for at this time without having to drive into another town about 20 miles away from my work and 40 miles from my house.

    That's how it is for me :) They offer 24 hour access because it's so small and not staffed. It's 4 blocks from my house. So pretty awesome!
