POST 27

As I have said before, I am finding food freedom in my life, by eating what I want, when I want it, but only when I'm actually hungry. 

That last bit, about eating only when I'm hungry, that's the tough one for me.

I started the habit of turning to food for comfort at such a young age, that I now have years of experience of turning to food and eating for many other reasons than feeling hungry.

I have a difficult time even recognizing when I am full.  I get confused and find myself so focused on how good it tastes that I want to keep eating, regardless of if I am even still hungry.

Lately, I find that I seem to be adjusting to this routine.  I am starting to feel a certain peace come over me.  The fearful thoughts and worries about my weight and what food can do to it (if I don't excersize like mad, or stick to a strict eating plan) are slowly dissipating with time...

I know from experience that time can go a long way in  healing a broken heart, but I never really thought about its ability to create change in ones life.  I'm finding that if I do something long enough and over and over, time seems to help me along.

I feel that I am adjusting to my beliefs in food freedom, and am beginning to trust this process.

I no longer feel that I am dangling over a cliff, with the possibility of falling to my death, screaming.

I am starting to feel safe and content with my relationship with food.

Obviously, I am still struggling at times to only eat when I am hungry and I still get tempted to substitute the food I feel like, for something that I know will be less calories...

But I'm getting there,and the road is feeling alot less bumpy.

So today, I want to convey that this journey, at this time, is getting easier.

Woop woop, and hip hip hooray, this journey is easy today!!!!
