I have an appointment with a therapist at noon today, who deals with eating disorders and body image. I hope she can help me get to the bottom of why food is so important to me (other than the obvious reason of nutrition).

I am on the downside of the full liquid diet, and last night after I had already met my protein requirement for the day, I found myself eating hummus with a spoon and a small piece of white cheddar cheese, neither of which are on the full liquid diet.

It is as if the devil is whispering from one shoulder to go ahead and have a bite, it won't hurt anything; and an angel is on the other shoulder saying that I am really not hungry and have eaten all I need to, so don't touch it.

I can't wit to figure out how to stop this self-sabotaging behavior :(

Had my appointment, have another scheduled for next Wednesday at noon. I think I am going to like this doctor. She has some things for me to try with th mindless eating. She also said that her and her team can help me along with some baggage that I need to set down. I am excited about this whole process of getting my mind, body and spirit in sync.
