Before You Take That First Compulsive Bite: Starting at the beginning

Starting at the beginning - gratitude

I am grateful for my HP and a program to work, especially in times of pain
I am grateful for my husband and his commitment to living a life in program
I am grateful I can say sorry and make amends
I am grateful for sunny days and how they improve my mood
I am grateful for friends and the gifts and lessons they bring me
I am grateful for credit cards and the freedom they can bring me
I am grateful for my job, and the security it brings my family
I am grateful for my pain and how it motivates me to make my life better

My abstinence

Three moderate meals a day, nothing in between except unsweetened coffee.

No Food with sugar as one of its first 4 ingredients including:
Biscuits
Cake
Chocolate
Sweets

Need to be mindful of eating food that can affect me, if I am not in a good space I need to be careful eating:
Bacon
Crisps
Dried fruit - apricots, prunes, sultanas
Fatty meat
Nuts
White bread

I need to keep my body healthy and happy. I can eat greens such as vegetables and salads, if eaten as part of a meal. Cooking myself healthy and tasty meals, meals that do not have to 'look' like I am on a diet, is an important part of loving self-care.
