Hi guys. I just had an idea.
I was just thinking, I spend a lot of time beating myself up when I have binges. But I don't spend a lot of time recognizing how much effort I put in EVERY DAY resisting those binges. In other words, the small-scale, HEALTHY choices I make are often overlooked. I only pay attention to when I "screw up" and binge. I don't give myself enough credit for all the little good things.
So I thought it'd be a good idea to have a thread where we can post about the GOOD food choices we made that day. Even and especially if they're small things! Maybe that will help us remember that we're working our butts off to change our habits and that, most of the time, we DO make good choices. We deserve recognition for those! Let's celebrate together!
So, for example, today I:
- chose to drink flavored water instead of soda or wine
- passed up buying chocolate at the grocery store (this is BIG!)
- split a package of nuts (a binge temptation for me) into single servings
What did YOU do today that helped keep you from a binge? What temptation did you overcome? Share!
