DAY 29 - Uncovering Negative Beliefs About Eating Mostly Nutritious Foods

• I feel L let people down if I don't eat the food they offer

What It Means to Others (Friends, Family, Colleagues)

• Others will judge me as:

• A party pooper--no fun to be around

• Jealous

My friends/family generally do not say negative things too me, occasionally they will encourage me to disregard the program I am on (go on treat yourself ) they are trying to encourage the child to come out. Also occasionally they will say I am a party pooper but I just ignore that cause they don't mean it nastily!!

What It Means About How I Live My Life

My eating for me is that

• I'll be miserable living without the pleasure I get from my favorite foods.

• I won't have any pleasure in my life.

• I'll stop socializing because people will be uncomfortable that I'm no longer using eating as entertainment.

  
  

  I have seen food as pleasure and until I am comfortable with my food choices I will try to avoid using food as entertainment more than once a week.
