Ruchie:
Do you have food/guilt issues? That's what I'm picking up on from your post. YOU ARE WORTHY OF SATIETY/YUMMY and safe and healthy foods! Know that you can always eat more, later or tomorrow and that IT IS NOT A FEAST OR FAMINE world.
Keep it simple. Don't cook so much.
VISUALIZATION is a powerful tool. In your journal, "rewrite" or "rescript" the past. See yourself acting differently in the future. Talk to yourself affirmatively.
Ask yourself: am I eating to "numb" out or to nourish hunger. Stay well hydrated. Spend more time out of the kitchen. Pack up leftovers a.s.a.p. Measure serving sizes.
Log intake. In a separate column, make emotional notes/encouraging doodles.
Treat your feeding like you would Shanna's--no table scraps and keep a schedule.
REMOVE all thoughts of dieting from your head.
Get out of the house, or immerse yourself in ideas, activities, hobbies that have nothing to do with food.
Honestly, I just eat when I'm hungry and there's usually a rhythm/schedule to that. Slow down when you're eating, savour, appreciate, be thankful...use chopsticks? If anything, stress/anxiety takes my appetite away--which is the opposite of your behaviour. Somedays, I have to coax myself into eating. I just know, that I'll feel worse without NUTRITIENTS. So, I lead this horse, this body to food and water and encourage her to eat/drink.
I send you unconditional encouragement and HUGS. Try knitting or needlework.
