Tuesday How is everyone doing?

What is EMDR?

It stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. Has been used successfully with PTSD to desensitize and reprocess memories, typically traumatic memories to overcome PTSD. It has also been used for eating disorders, which is what my therapist is using it for me.

Thank you so much for sharing about your therapist and EMDR.  I don't want to overstep but wondered what you thought of it, and if it helped.

I have been seeing this therapist and doing EMDR for about 2 months. I don't actually see much improvement - will keep at it for a bit longer and see if it begins to help. I am uncovering traumas and experiences in my past that my have contributed to the onset of my eating disorder, but I still struggle every day.

Interesting, thanks.  Had never heard of it before.

I'm doing good today :D Good for you for your day 1 BOT!! i'm on day 5 or 6 phew. Trust me it gets easier each day. I've even gone through some emotional days without completely going over board. I've managed to stay below my calories burned every day and have managed to walk every day. Here's my plan for today

B- coffee with sugar free syrup and non dairy creamer

L- 1/2 frozen chicken parmesean

D- (split into dinner and snack) 3 baked chicken legs with spices instead of bbq sauce.

As of now no plan for another snack. Working on not snacking at night!!!

Congrats to you for almost one week BOT.  You're doing great!

LIKE - "Another protein day to calm the demons"  I'm going to remember that saying!

I think you're right about your headache.  When I've been off track, and then get back on, I'll get a headache for at least a day or two.  I hope it gets better and goes away.  

Have a great day BOTTing!  

I had a good food day yesterday.  Thanks to our BOTT group and our posting yesterday, I didn't get into the carbs at evening/night.  I had a planned snack but stopped it there.  I had a good PT workout.  I left with a red face since he worked me hard but I didn't wake up with it aching so that is great!!

B - Coffee, 2 cups w/Splenda and cream

L - Turkey sandwich w/honey mustard

D - Turkey Meatloaf

S - Skinny Cow ice cream sandwich

S - Apple with Laughing Cow French Onion wedge

Have a great BOTTing day!
