By planning out what is going to be eaten, and the calories, etc, then I can literally just try to forget about eating, and not think about it. I think that's a great way to get ones mind off food. Plan the food out, know what is going to happen. Then focus on other things, professional and personal, and trust in the food plan, and the thinking that has gone into it...

When I can't decide what to wear and I change into a bunch of different outfits my boyfriend calls it a "fashion show". As in, "*sigh*, this isn't going to be another fashion show is it?" This is definitely something that I am working on. One of the reasons I want to lose weight actually is, ironically, so I can care less about looking perfect. I just want to be able to pull on a simple skirt and shirt, or jeans or whatever, and not worry about it. But I think you are right: not worrying about it is a goal unto itself.

So nice to see you are taking this as seriously as I am. Isn't this a great program? I am also really happy with the system and going through the chapters sequentially. Have you found that you are a little bit more generally anxious when you don't give in to your cravings? This is something that has come up for me - as if overeating is a king of self-medication in a way - but I am noticing that the anxiety is subsiding as I head into week 4. Anyway, thanks again for leaving me comments. (This is my first blog too and its so exciting to get comments!) Good luck on your program. I'll be rooting for you. -Marina (foodluv.blogspot.com) Hi Emily,

It helps to be reminded and I think that will be what I focus on today in order to stay with plan. That is a great shift and one I’m still trying to get into my brain.
