My time in PHP is almost up, and soon I'll be back at school. I'm scared, though. I've been having a lot of behavior urges lately, and I'm afraid that I'll cave while I'm at school. At the same time, though, I think it will be good for me--I'll have a more tangible motivation for "being good" and following my meal plan so that I can stay. I just don't know. I'm just nervous.
At the hospital they're letting me work with someone who can help me relearn how to grocery shop, and she's even going to help me simulate the dining hall experience so I can get a little practice with that while someone is there with me (man! I'm so terrified! but I suppose it will be good for me...). So that's all good. I'm still just scared.
I'm glad to hear you are doing well!!! I hope your transition goes well. It looks like they are really preparing you well for living at college. I was curious to how to incorporate dining halls into my meal plan as well. Maybe I will ask my nutritionist when I see her next.
True...it seems that you were in PHP for a very short time, so I hope it has been helpful.
I also am glad to hear that they are helping you to prepare for real life eating experiences.
I understand what you mean by 'being good', but if you can reframe it to think in terms of giving yourself the gift of health instead, perhaps you can begin to think in terms that are not so black/white, or based on being 'good'. I found that my own thoughts along that line only got me into more trouble.
Structure is good, so please follow any meal plan or suggestions that they may offer you. Wishing you well....take care...Jan ♥
That is great. I recently went back to school after being in recovery and it is hard, but things will be okay. I'm really happy for you. I hope all goes well and i'll be thinking about you. :)
