Personal Evaluation
1. What is the most common statement you make about yourself that reinforces negative behavior? I tell others (and myself) that I am a "food addict" a lot.
2. Is the above statement about you true? If so, how can it be restated more positively? In this way, I'm reinforcing the fear and feeling of abnormality that
surround this statement, as opposed to being a recovering victim of the
circumstances.
3. What are some things in your life that you enjoy more than eating? Watching Days of Our Lives, going to movies, shopping, hanging out with family and friends
4. Did any of these things suffer in the past because you gave a higher priority to the "activity of eating?" How does that make you feel? No, the things I love doing I loved because the activity of eating didn't affect them, or because they didn't make me feel bad about myself because my weight wasn't as much of an issue in doing them. There are other things I know I'd love to do, but was kept from doing them because of my physical limitations or my health issues. Now, as I weigh less and progress in my journey, I know that I will be able to physically and emotionally be able to do them, because weight and health are becoming less and less of an issue for me.
