Day 5
Today I was supposed to be taking it slow and eating mindfully. I messed upa bit because last night I didn’t take the time to write what I was going to be eating today. I thought I could just go with the flow and eat carefully. Not so. Iwent with the flow and ate the way I have been the past 9 months when I have gained 20 pounds.
Now to giving myself credit. It was one day. I will plan what I will eat tomorrow right now.
Breatfast and Lunch – fasting. In my church we fast for two meals one time a month. Then the money we would have spent on food we give to the church and 100% of the money is spent for the needy. It is a great program and our church helps millions with relief across the world all because of donations. So these meals are easy to plan.
Dinner – BBQ with my family. I will eat one hamburger with toppings, a few chips with dip, and a spoonful of potato salad. Fruit will be for dessert.
My kids’ breakfast will be cereal. Lunch will be peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Dinner will be whatever they choose from the spread.

Hey,
It is easy to eat mindfully when your are fasting. How did you do at dinner? I think it is cool that you are aware of your connection to others.
Stay strong... for you.

I didn't do well at all, actually. Hence the reason I'm starting over and trying to use all of Dr. Beck's ideas and not thinking I know more than the Dr. But I'm so glad you asked. It makes me feel like I will need to be more accountable in the future.
