I’m not going to eat between meals and I’m not going to take seconds. Just Today. And I’m going to try this for a year to see what happens.
I wish I could know you. Are you in shock, frozen with fear because you have so many changes to make and you’re totally overwhelmed? Are you struggling with a chronic weight/food related illness? Maybe you’ve tried to control your eating, but can’t seem to do it day after day after day? Do you worry that you’ll never be healthy again?
Even now, I can answer ‘yes’ to all these questions. And I can tell you, from my own experience that making The Commitment has made all the difference in the world to me. Because now I don’t have to worry about ‘the rest of my life.’ I don’t have to punish myself for the past. I’ve got too much to do today to waste my time worrying about either the future or the past.
Just today, I’m going to find the strength to not eat between meals and not take seconds.

LOL kbird before I clicked the more, I was shouting “YES!” Frozen with fear! That’s me! Overwhelmed! Over here! Me!
At the same time I was thinking, I should be over all that by now, it has been almost 4 months!
So I am sorry that you still feel these things, but also relieved that it is not just me who cannot dispel them immediately.
Finding strength for today. I’ve got to print something to that effect out, and post it everywhere to remind myself that I can do this, one day at a time.
Thanks for providing this place for us, katiebird!
