Hi Laura! Your 2006 video made me sad - I felt so bad for you. I hope every day today is not as much of a struggle.

I noticed that you actually use food as a reward for when you exercise...do you think that perhaps a non-food reward would help decrease your obsessional thoughts about food more effectively?

I'm also very concerned about your statement, "If I have a perfect day, I spend some time with a good friend either on the phone or in person." Two issues - first, the focus on having a "perfect day". You should feel good even if you have a "pretty good day." Perfectionism is the route to self-hatred. Second issue - you need to reward yourself with positive social interaction WHETHER OR NOT you had a good or "perfect" day. Positive social interaction may be even MORE important after a "horrible" day - it can help you take better care of yourself the next day!

Good luck - and be good to yourself!

I like the idea of playing the DS. That would be a good reward for me. Also my WII. I really need to get back on track, it's amazing how fast this beast can fall backwards.

I appreciate this 3 parter Laura! I just want you to know that I read your posts just about everyday while I'm at work during my lunch break. For the past year after finding this site, your posts have been one of my motivators in coming to grips with "actually" changing my "eating" lifestyle cultupuling me down 56 lbs over the last year now!

Thank you for your courage to write about things that so many of us confront!
