slightly less crazy--breakthrough thoughts
Feeling slightly less nuts than yesterday-- all the insane thoughts have calmed a little--at least i feel like I can get through the day today. The feelings of not really having a legitimate ED are a little calmer today, although still there.
right now, pre-occupied with food thoughts. Let's examine this:
I am not hungry right now, so it is ok to stop thinking food.
I ate breakfast recently, so it is ok to stop thinking about food.
There is food I could eat in the kitchen, so it is ok to stop thinking about it: If i do get hungry, I can go to the kitchen like a normal person and have a snack--the food is not going anywhere, it will be there when I want it. I don't have to eat it now, just because it is there.
It is time to think of WORK, not of food, so it is ok to stop thinking about food and ED things for awhile. I don't have to be thinking of ED things non-stop, endlessly: it is ok to take a break and think of something else: it is ok to put aside all those thoughts and think of something totally unrelated, like work, for awhile. IT IS OK NOT TO THINK OF THE ED FOR A FEW HOURS! Take a break, Jen!
eta: the above thoughts are a breakthrough, of sorts. Not sure why, but they are. BRAVO me. :)
