Hit me in the head with a brick!


Wow, so I am on Day 15 of the work for July so this morning, I was doing the week 3 questions. I have been struggling for sometime with eating a at a certain time of day, or when I am alone. So answering the questions this morning, it came to me like a brick falling out of the sky.

The last week has been really tough and my husband it gone for 2 1/2 weeks and I am alone for the most part as the 16 and 20 year olds boys could careless about mom.

When working on the questions I realized that I am eatting out of loneliness. I find I do really well most of the day till about 3 or 4 in the afternoon. Then I want to eat. I was struggling to feel the feelings. This morning the brick dropped out of the sky when I answered the question what it the current story you have been telling. All the sudden I found myself writing I eat when I am lonely or feel alone. I am feeding the loneliness. This fit when I eat and such a lot of the times. WOW, I feel that knowing this I have something to work with. I am amazed at how freeing it feels to realize that I eat when I am alone. I feel like I can start to feel the feeling and change the actions.

Thank you for asking the same questions over and over. I can start to rewrite my story today!

My new model is
C-By Myself
T-I am alone and eating right know does not serve me
F-Empowered
A-Only eat for fuel
R-Eat only when food will serve me!

Thank you,
Amanda
