Hi Charlotte,

I heard a quote once, “I don’t care that you don’t love me because you don’t like my drapes.” Well, you can use that in any situation, even talking about/to yourself.

There’s the right thing to do, and you do it, even if you’re plagued by uncomfortable emotions. You have to separate your correct actions from your emotions. Say, “I am eating. I feel guilty for xyz. So what?” In fact, tell your emotions and brain, “So what?” every time they make you feel bad.

The breakthrough you had was strong and powerful! Of course you’re going to get “kickback”. In fact, expect it! “You know you’re on the right track when the Devil notices it!” is another quote I like.

Millions of women have an eating disorder, are on a diet, or are on a “regime” of “health”. Notice men don’t have this (as much). When we say, “I’m stopping the Food Rationing,” you are saying I Exist, I DESERVE to Exist, and there’s MORE TO LIFE, and I’m LIVING it!! Very, very powerful. Political, even.

Congratulations, and keep seeing that therapist who is GOLD!
