Reflections on free day

Saturday, March 31st 2007

So today was my first free day with BFL. Interesting. My goal, as I said yesterday, was to not go crazy. I did not have that urgency of a binge. Ya know what I'm talking about? That desperation to get to that forbidden food. It was a calm choice to eat some normally off-limits foods. This morning I had the breakfast that I wanted and planned. I had those roasted almonds that they roast in cinnamon and who knows what else in the mall. That was my lunch-followed by candy. Lots of candy. ...

BFL week 1 Day 5

Friday, March 30th 2007

Okay, just about a week under my belt and still doing well. Today was a little tougher, but really not until my husband got home and things got more stressful. I'll vent about that in a minute. Normally I would eat emotionally and I really wanted to. But this program kept me focused. I kept saying to myself, I'm not hungry. I just ate. I can eat again at my next snack. I'm just a little stressed out. Good job to me.
Tomorrow is free day. Joy!!! But so many others have warned again...

BFL Day 4 week 1

Thursday, March 29th 2007

Another day down with BFL. I'm loving this program so far and I don't feel deprived (usually). I feel so good about what I'm doing. I read in Cynthia's blog that she likes the structure of this program and I think that's what I like about it too. I think that's really good for me. And, at least so far, I like cutting out all of the junk. It's hard for me to only have a little of something. I wonder if cutting it out completely for 6 days a week will work better for me. We'll see. I don'...

BFL Day 3

Wednesday, March 28th 2007

I'm struggling this afternoon, but I know I'm going to be fine. I just thought I'd write about it. I have eaten lunch-am completely full since it was Taco Soup (super yummy, Ashli). I still want to eat. I'm craving something cold and sweet. It's also TOM as of today. So some of these cravings are part of that probably. I'm so relieved about the TOM due to a mix up with my insurance company and the pharmacy earlier this month, I started my pills a week late. We were supposed to use a back...

BFL Day 2

Tuesday, March 27th 2007

I'm doing it. I'm following the program. It's not as tough as I was worried it would be. At least not so far. But there are challenging moments. I'm using lots of self-talk, mantras, and any other tool I can think of. I just need to keep the momentum going. Momentum is powerful for me.
I'm actually having a hard time getting all my calories in. I never thought that would be the case. I just need to tweek a few things on my program. I'm still figuring it out.
Things aren't too bad r...
