Personal Evaluation
1. What experiences have been most helpful to you in developing attitudes for lifetime freedom from unhealthy eating behaviors? Having a list of "bad foods" has really helped me maintain this lifestyle and see how my life can be without eating added sugars and refined flours. Additionally, calorie counting and food journalling has really freed me to understand food and my cravings as well as allowing me to understand what I eat and how I feel after I eat it.
2. Do you still feel unsure of your ability to be free? What causes you to doubt your ability to succeed? I'm worried about the strength of my addiction to foods, as well as my lack of self control. I don't want to fall into these patterns again and I worry that once I'm outside of the program guidelines, that I won't be able to maintain this lifestyle and I'll fall back into the easiness that unhealthy eating brings.
3. What positive attitudes can you develop to replace your doubts and insecurities? I can adopt the mentality that I am a confident and successful person. I'm not going to come all this way only to throw it away for my old habits. This is a lifestyle I will maintain because it's working for me and because I enjoy it. I don't need to worry about going back to my old ways, because I've created new attitudes and behaviors that support my new lifestyle. There is no turning back.
