I have an appointment tomorrow with Dr Hope and I haven’t done my homework.

I am a bad girl.

I have been thinking a lot, and eating well (except the weekend), and doing some walking, and finally feeling better physically, and keeping a food diary, but I did not do her exercise of rating my hunger and where I was for each meal, plus what I ate.

I saw Ratatouille, do you think she’ll give me credit for that?

It’s funny how those ingrained childhood reactions never leave us. I am nervous and dreading the appointment because I didn’t do my homework. Never mind that it is ME paying the woman, and ME not getting the benefit. I feel guilty.

And feeling guilty has no place in my Low Stress Weight Loss world.

MIDNIGHT UPDATE : I felt so bad about not having done the homework that I whipped up a word document (table) & played around to make it pretty and set up a page a day w room for 3 meals and 3 snacks (although I rarely eat all those times in one day). Filling in today was a snap & w my food diary I was able to reconstruct the Monday & Tuesday without too much trouble so I have some of the homework done. Whew, now I can sleep without that on my mind!
