“This is the third day without a “binge time.” I can hardly believe “it” could be this simple. I have permission to eat and even do something different such as make a meal but still eat. NOT do something totally unrelated to what I feel I want to do. Other diets involved trying so hard NOT to eat, telling me to distract myself. Somehow the counsel to eat if I want has taken away the obsession to eat and to eat a lot. Actually, I don’t even feel like eating because I am sincerely not hungry. I eat or drink what sounds good without feeling deprived.”
