I had a Revelation today. Everytime I try to do the monthly challenges I get obsessed and begin to rebell myself. So, I realized today that I need to just take it slow and let myself transition slowly and comfortably. I want to continue to focus on becoming rather then feeling like I have to be perfect right now. That's part of my Eating Disorder - Perfection.
So, I think doing the monthly challenge for me right now makes me to obsessive and too weight - food focused and then I relapse/slip feel guilt and then that starts another bad cycle of well forget it I already messed up. So, for me it's healthier to continue to strive to the best of my ability without guilt or the need to be Perfect or 100%.
I'm removing my weight to remove my weight section in my sig to assist me in letting go of weight focus.

I am beginning my HEALTH FOCUS, now!

    I also just pulled the weight tracker down and have not let myself weigh in for days. I do the challenge more for a fun daily check in, but I can see how it would become more of a hurt than a help if you're struggling.

    Stick to your guns, lovely lady!!

    And STAY RAW!!!

    Congrats on your revelation! I can relate. I made changes in my life recently to lose weight and have learned a few things. It's been fun, challenging, unusual, messy and sometimes my beliefs about how things "should be" were turned on their head. I've also learned the more I tried to control, the less control I actually had! So, breathe deep and get ready for a walk down a path less traveled. Remember...there's no such thing as "perfect" as an ideal. You are perfect just as you are now! :)
