i guess it's day 7 - and finally I'm feeling better. The past 3 days were horrible, I was depressed, eating all the time, felt groce, and basically gave up.
I'm still feeling ugly, fat and all the negative things in the world you can think of, but i'm proud that I got through today. I had set myself the goal in the morning to stick to a good healthy diet - yes, I could've done better I'm sure, and I should've gone to the gym as well.
But hey, I'm really trying, and I couldn't get myself to go to the gym because I felt so yucky. I will go tomorrow though!
THANK YOU so much for keeping me motivated, I know that this comes difficult for every single one of you, and to be honest I've never hard the feeling of being surrounded (even if only virtually) by people who understand me so well.
Let me repeat the advice someone gave me (you know who you are...):
CHOICES, CHANCES & CHANGES! You must MAKE the CHOICE to take a CHANCE or your life will never CHANGE!
This really got me to think, and even though it took me 3 days of binging before I was able to move forward, it had a very powerful effect.
As I go to bed today I'm ending a good diet-day, I look forward to an even better day tomorrow, to feeling better, healthier and with more energy, and being mindful about what I eat. I won't weigh myself before Monday, because I know I've gained weight and it would just make me feel down, but I'm hopeful that my weight will have stablized by Monday, putting me on the right track towards my goal.
Again, thank you for all your support!

Dear One, You MUST try NOT to do the negative self-talk thing [i.e. fat, ugly, etc...] because your BODY hears it, and will respond NEGATIVELY!] [please see dianepetrella.com for more info] YOU CAN DO THIS! I KNOW JUST HOW YOU FEEL, though! and I know it's DIFFICULT at times, but on the WHOLE, you're doing better than a lot of people who have NOT taken those FIRST STEPS toward healthy diet/life patterns... a 10 mile journey begins with just one step, and you, my dear, have taken that first step... now, just put one foot in front of the other, and YOU WILL GET THERE!!! We ALL 'blow it' SOMETIMES, but the evidence of a real 'trooper' is to get right back 'on the horse' and ride! The NEGATIVE experiences are there for us to LEARN FROM! Take your lesson, and be smarter the next time... I cannot tell you how much the Emotions/Food journal I've been keeping has opened my eyes to all the detrimental eating patterns I have.... It has REALLY helped me 'get a handle' on my 'triggers' and mind games that I've used [and still use, SOMETIMES...] to cope with feelings... Ask yourself before/after you've eaten how hungry you actually are/were [on a scale of 1-10]; what your mood is... 5 is neutral higher number = explanation of emotion[s]; and what your level of satisfaction is... [again, scale of 1-10] i.e. still hungry, just right, stuffed - too full!... Try to keep up the journal at least for a week or two, and you will see patterns emerge that can help you 'rein in' that runaway hunger train! MOST OF ALL, maintain a POSITIVE ATTITUDE [which I know can be daunting in and of itself, but TRY!] YOU CAN DO THIS! and we're ALL here to SUPPORT YOU! So count the 'down days' as a learning experience, and go from where you are RIGHT NOW... Don't be SO HARD ON YOURSELF! [The only way these past few days are a total loss is if you haven't learned ANYTHING from them!] All the best, Cheree'
