I've been eating well for the past couple of days. I had the repeated epiphany ring through again that if I don't eat things that can make me gain weight, then I won't gain weight. If I eat only healthy foods, then I will likely lose weight. And, over the past two days, I have done just that - ten pounds. I am sure a lot of that was water weight, but nonetheless, it was pounds that had to go. I have been eating apples, 1 banana, mandarin oranges, chicken, spinach, and raw nuts. I have been dI did have a small brownie piece last night because my daughter made them and was super happy with how they turned out (they are delicious!) and a forkful of chicken alfredo penne, just to taste it. Overall, however, I have been eating well. Hopefully, I can stay on track.
Last night, I had to tell a friend of mine to stop messaging me. It was a really difficult thing to do. I struggle with setting boundaries, especially with someone I know who is needy. Melody Beattie says that a person cannot simultaneously set a boundary and take care of another person's feelings. My friend has continued to message me. She said she didn't sleep at all last night and had to take today off - all because of what I said. It's difficult not to own that. Thankfully, I have an appointment with my counsellor this afternoon where I can have the opportunity to talk about this should I so choose.
