Well, it's been about 5-6 days "clean" so to speak. My eating disorder has been inactive for the week, or since last Sunday. I feel good about that. I know I may slip and fall, but I am trying hard not to. IF I do, I will pick myself back and will start again.

Some days it's a real challenge. Yesterday at work there were delicious cookie treats, and I wanted some sooo badly. But I knew it would be emotional eating again, so I abstained. I tried to envision the cookies as being fat going directly to my belly, when I'm trying to lose weight.

I did splurge at dinner. I'm allowing myself one full meal a day where it can be basically a normal meal. I'm using Slimfast shakes otherwise for breakfast and lunch, and allow myself a small bag of healthy nuts as a snack in between.

So today I feel pretty stable with my eating habits, and proud of myself. It's encouraging me to keep going.
