Still struggling

Well I am still finding it very hard. I am still for some reason in binge mode, so I keep asking myself why

a) because I am bored, not much work on and so no focus
b) waiting to hear about 2 day job and longer it goes on less I think I will get it - so am frustrated by that
c) in a what the hell kind of mentality at the moment

Things to do
am going to 1 day workshop on saturday and am confident that will give me a boost to get me back on track
am making sure I do at least 11,ooo steps a day - yesterday did 15,000 so that is good
am making sure I don't beat myself up because of the bingeing - more accepting it thinking that for some reason this is what I need at the moment - or is that just an excuse???
I should hear in the next couple of days if I am through to interview no 2 so won't have to wait for much longer for that.

aaagh I suppose I am concerned as I know I am not really trying to do IE but unlike others who say the less they try the better they are, I seem to have regressed seriously since coming back from holiday - can't cope with real life maybe............a life on holiday for me then, if only!! Big concern is that I will just get bigger and bigger and I am not sure I can cope with that.

You won't. It's hard speaking from the other side of taking the leap, as I think you start to forget how it felt to want to believe it but be too scared to.
I was thinking about this tonight, and realising that if we try too hard at this, it will backfire as it becomes yet another diet with rules that we must stick to.
Tuning in is my favourite principle. If I'm tuned in, I can notice, and it is the noticing that makes the change. When I say "sod it" to myself, I do sod it, but I make sure that I stay tuned in as much as I can. I can't stay tuned in the whole time yet, but I can stay tuned in for longer now than before. It takes more practise than you might think!
Nobody gets it right all the time though, not even Sophie! It's okay to get it wrong. The nicer you are to yourself about it, the less backlash you will get.

Still, that's easier said than done. You'll get there xxx
