That's a huge question! My current mindset is one of acceptance and learning, and is influenced by my current read (I'm doing a self-guided DBT workbook). Accepting truth in duality. Finding middle ground between seemingly opposing thoughts/beliefs, learning to operate from a place of 'wisdom," instead of pure emotion or pure reason. Learning to accept that ambivalence is part of the process. Learning to recognize my own cognitive dissonance. Learning to keep my feet planted in reality, rather than getting swept away by the hyper-emotional storm All of that fun stuff. I used to be more rigid - my thoughts and beliefs surrounding food (among other things) drove me to mania (GAD with panic attacks, BED with purging). One skill I'd like to improve/strengthen is getting more comfortable with discomfort, and not have it turn me into a raving bitch or piggly wiggly. This is a great question. I hope other people take a moment to respond! 

Yes, i, too have GAD AND BED, used to purge, its been 2 years since purging. Thanks for responding. Thats very insightful. Its tough getting to that place though... Healing is a process, one that wont end 

Lightbeing, are you ok?  

frustration that I haven't dropped the little bit of additional fat that I wanted to have gone by now. and fear that I won't be able to maintain my new hard earned physique.. moderation isn't my strong suit unfortunately...not by a long shot.  

My current mindset is to remember how far I’ve come, yet be mindful of where I’d like to be. My issue was emotional eating, being aware of that has helped me develop new habits. I’d like to be more consistent with working out and sticking to a routine. I know what I’d like my body to look like, it’s putting in the work and effort and believing I’m worth that work & effort, that’s what I need to work on. 

My current mindset is I'm trying to do body recomposition. I'm not trying to rush everything, because I'm doing this to be healthy for the rest of my life and not trying to fit in a dress. When I first start my journey 2yrs ago, my mindset was to just lose weight and lose it as fast as possible. I enjoy trying to build muscle and I'd like to start doing mini workout seesions with bands when I get home from work. We'll see, because after work I'm sorry and tired 

This is a great question thanks for asking it Dazey. I'm still learning n figuring it all out tbh. Pretty sure I was / am an emotional eater n that binging was an issue. Prior to that I would starve myself for years when I was struggling with mental health. Most days if I can keep the calories in a decent range and eat something healthy I'm happy. I started off working out and just eating healthier. Then transitioned into CICO and deficit.. just began intermittent fasting maybe 2 ish weeks ago. I try to get 10k steps n have found that if I do that and eat in a deficit I lose every day. It isn't always possible to achieve but it's what I strive for. And weights as much as possible.
