Its only been one week but I think this first period probably should be the hardest in finding how to detach from my lower brain. I am from South Africa and study from home and my parents constantly bake bread. I always start my day off by saying, no bread today. Then at 1 pm I let go and eat almost all the bread there is to eat. Recently bingeing was expected atleast 4 to 5 times a week but I do moderate exercises and binge on wholewheat foods that fill me up uncomfortably quickly. I would not consider myself as obese but Im not thin either. I usually blame my boring study routine as the reason I binge. However I discovered this book by chance last week and believe that God wants me to know that I am perfect and need only let go of a bad habit. Because that is all it is. The Truth really does set you free!! In this week I did binge a bit on Monday. However it was so different because usually by the evening I would stuff my face even more because I already did, would unsuccessfully try to make myself throw up, and then feel depressed when I went to bed. This time I realised that I followed the urge but that I still had control and because I was so full decided to skip dinner.
Anyways I know its early but it feels awesome. Kathryn thank you sooooo much!!!! With your knowledge and the Holy Spirit as testimony I know that I truly am fine and a normal person.
it is so simple but I mainly will just need to keep remembering that the addictive response should only be recognised. When you recognise it you are already in an awesome position to break the habit compared to you attaching anxieties with an urge. Recognise. Relax and don't respond. That is all!
