So far I will say that I have done, not excellent, but well enough. I have managed to eat every fourth hour (think it was healthy food).
I have been very tired and have had to sleep much, 9 or 10 hours last night.
The one problem I felt was most difficult to begin to make a habit of was ignoring intrusive thoughts. They kept repeating themselves, but I managed to not give into them.
My problem is that I get an idea and follow it often when I cannot. Let's say that I have decided to go for a walk, but right before I'm about to leave, I get the idea that perhaps I need to find out about this or that (may be about, as an example, a car I am going to buy in two years if I can afford it, or about a trip I want to take later). That can take me to the Internet and after using a lot of time on finding what I looked for, I feel tired and have to drop what I really wanted to do, in this case: the walk. After that I become sad, more depressed and full of self blame.
I hope that ignoring thoughts that drag me away from what I want to do and have to do in
the here and now, will make weaker the urge to follow them, disappear and hopefully the intrusive thoughts will disappear as well.
