Wow. Thanks so much for all the input and encouragement. It is so helpful to hear from people who understand this process.
I definitely agree with the belief that much of my struggle is mental, and I have spent many hours analyzing my eating habits. I know why I eat what I eat, so now all that is left is to make better decisions. I think that is what is bothering me the most, I understand the behavior so I now have no excuses left. I need to make the right choices. Ugh, not as easy as it sounds I have figured out. But alas tomorrow is a new day, and I can do this!
Perhaps I'll go pick up some new books tomorrow!
Ooh, as for what I do (as a behaviorist) it is very similar to what Tummy Girl mentioned, I work with/create behavior plans for children with autism, emotional impairments, congnitive impairments, and any other children who may benefit from my services. It is definitely challenging and extremely rewarding, sometimes exhausting, but I love it!
