Wise words have once again been sent my way..
"Supplement".. it's means "extra".. not a "replacement" of meals, or else they would have been called "substitute" I suppose.. (Very good Mark.. top marks for that one!). It would be easy for me to want to say now: "I can live on the supplements". But that's not possible. It would be the easy way out. I wouldn't be dealing with the problem that I have.
They are helping me to get better, at the moment, for now.. But not forever.. I have to keep that in mind.. They are important NOW.. But not forever..
So far, I feel like I've been good, so then I find myself thinking, Ok, haven't I done enough now? Now I can stop and get back to normal living again.. It's all good...
But then I rethink it, and I know that I do have to keep on going.. But I ask myself, on days like today.. "Will the battle ever stop?", "How long can I keep on going?" Surely I'm going to get to the stage when I think.. "f*ck it, I'm feeling fine now, can I not just stop this constant struggle and get on with my life?"
But those are just thoughts that last a few minutes, because I know that it won't be like this forever. My life won't always feel like it revolves around food. But right now, it does. But it has to. It's what i need to do and in order for me to have a normal relationship with food. I need to rebuild the relationship. I need to change my beliefs that I have towards food.
Just because I had a few good days, doesn't mean that I'm cured.
Just because I'm taking my supplements doesn't mean I'm cured.
Just because my mind is clearer and I can think properly, doesn't mean I'm cured. Just because I'm feeling hunger pains again, doesn't mean I'm cured.
Just because I'm feeling full all the time, doesn't mean I'm cured.
Just because I'm eating constantly, doesn't mean I'm cured.
To live a normal life, you have to be able to see that there is so much more than the consumption of food. Some people say "love makes the world go round", or "money makes the world go round". I say "food makes the world go round". It probably sounds ridiculous, and I hope my attitude and beliefs towards all this eating will change, because not until then, can I start living properly again and be able to say "I'm cured"..
