I am Nina Kay and I am a compulsive overeater, all-around food addict and a binge eater.
I have been consciously thinking recently about how I need to work on my recovery program for my eating disorder again, as I've been obviously ignoring my problem lately. I've had too many other things going on that have been taking my attention and just plain not wanting to consciously deal with it right now since I've always so far ended up right back where I started.
For this month, I have so far, been able to abstain from eating Obvious Sweets, thanks to the thread that Jack has started and maintained here and all of the support and encouragement that I have recieved from each and every one that participates in that thread.
So now, because of the good example that Dave is being, I have made a decision to begin consciously working on an eating plan once more. My main problem, though, is that I get overwhelmed very easily and then eventually throw in the towel. Happens everytime. I'm an extremist and I always go at things in an "all or none" manner. So this time, I've thought about it and I've decided to focus first on my Breakfast Only. I don't plan on going overboard in this area either. I want to gradually work on eating a healthy breakfast and not overeating it. At first, I have decided that I am going to focus more on the "not overeating" part of my breakfast, until I feel like it's a pretty strong habit. However, I will try to make the most healthy choices I can without stressing over ingredients, at first. I really have to remind myself to relax and keep it simple, so as not to overwhelm myself.
I also plan on coming here and checking in on this thread to hold myself accountable. I'm trying to remind myself each day to be more faithful to come here to the ED forum and check in. For me, it's easy to get slack and then to withdraw and isolate, so I have to consciously make an effort to come here each day. You all seriously make a world of difference in my life. I love you all.
If anyone would like to join me, jump right in.
