BY Munch FOR Munch!

Feeling much more positive today. Been doing lots of reading on minimins.com about food addition. Have been panicking about next week when we will add an evening meal - A LOT. Feel slightly calmer about it now. My fear is that next weeks weigh in if we do lose an acceptable amount of weight then i will feel like what is the point of sole sourcing if we can eat and still lose weight. But just had a bit of a revelation so writing it down to read next week in case thats exactly how i feel!

To Munch - you are sole sourcing because you have an unhealthy addiction to food and by removing it for 4 weeks at a time you effectively go into rehab where you can have a break from the addiction and will over time unlearn your addictive behaviour and develop a new positive relationship with food. If you were able to eat an evening meal continually and lose weight you would have done it by now - think of all the other diets you have done. Of course you lose weight when you stick to the plan but for you longer than a week is difficult still because eventually you will be faced with a choice of food and you will choose something that will trigger a binge and you will be off the weight loss path. Eventually you will be able to eat like a 'normal' person but before that you have too steps to make - lose all your excess weight and relearn a healthy relationship with food.
Try to remember how relieved you were to discover this diet and how perfect you thought it was for you. You have always said that being in control of food was as important to you if not more as being a healthy weight.
Now get back to sole source!
