I've had 2 good days in a row now and am already feeling better. And last night the miracle occurred....I didn't finish my dinner! I am normally the "lick the plate clean" kind of girl. I hate wasting food (which is a ridiculous thought anyway...that's what the fridge is for) and I felt so good last night when I decided I was full and didn't polish off the last of my dinner. It really was an internal battle. I was arguing with myself:
"You're actually really full so you don't need to eat that last 1/2 cup there"
"Yeah, but it's only a 1/2 cup so may as well just eat it"
"But you're full. Really, you don't need it"
"But then it will go to waste, just eat it and you'll not have to throw anything away"
"No. YOU. ARE. FULL. Stop! Back away from the plate"
"Yes! You're right, I am full! I don't have to finish it all!"
Seriously, this is huge for me. Just last week I had lunch out with my husband and he didn't finish his fries, and even though I was completely full, I ate the fries so they "wouldn't go to waste".
So that's my little victory for this week.
P.S. Thanks so much Scarlett for your comment on my last post. It's easy to feel alone in this process and I really appreciate your encouragement:)
