The child within

April 5, 2012

My last two posts have focused on my most recent appointment with my dietician/psychologist… during which I received some ‘instructions’: No ‘danger’ food, which for me is currently rice cakes (or corn chips now to a lesser extent) and Easter Eggs/ chocolate – because moderation is impossible I jump straight to over-eating or binge-eating Mindful eating – [...]

Breaking Bad… patterns

April 3, 2012

Despite my antipathy towards keeping the food log as requested (*ahem* required) by my dietician/psychologist; as I noted in my last post, I diligently wrote down everything I consumed between appointments 1 and 2 (and continue to do so now).

Wall-e and me

March 16, 2012

Just over two weeks ago I paid my first visit to a psychologist/dietician in the hope that I’ll start addressing some of the underlying factors contributing to my weight issues (aka, why I’m so fucked in the head and prone to binge-eating behaviour). I wrote about my first appointment in my Mad monkey mind post and [...]
