The breather was brief and life has regained it's former insane pace, which, unfortunately, is a regular occurrence for me. Still struggling with feeling fat and out of shape, which is not my imagination. I am heavier and am losing conditioning by the day as I spend longer hours in the office. But, on the positive side, I feel like I'm gaining more awareness each day. I'm more aware of when I've had enough to eat and more aware of when I'm hungry and when I'm not. Unfortunately, awareness is one thing and taking action is another, and that's definitely where I feel like I'm dropping the ball. The schedule is just too crazy. I feel like all I can do right now is try to keep my head above water at work. Intuitive eating always takes a back seat to the activities that bring home the bacon (pun intended!).
But the one positive action I have taken is that I have started working with a therapist. She specializes in eating disorders but also works with people like me who are just screwed up when it comes to food but don't have a full blown disorder. She also specializes in IE. Had my first session today and it went very well. I'm feeling very good about it and looking forward to seeing if she can help. She's already given me some steps to take in the coming week when I'm traveling once again for work and wants us to keep in touch by e-mail. I need a supportive resource that can talk me through the tough spots and give me concrete tools to use. Let's see how it goes....
