NOTE

Embrace Each Day as a Fresh Start

Engaging in a cycle of restriction and binge eating can create a mindset where one feels compelled to start afresh each day. Each morning serves as an opportunity to reset, dismissing the previous day's challenges, and approach food with a sense of renewal. This approach acknowledges that feelings of deprivation—whether physical, mental, or emotional—can lead to obsessive thoughts about forbidden foods, ultimately triggering binge behavior. The persistent cycle of attempting to maintain a 'healthy' eating regimen collides with surges of extreme hunger resulting from prior restrictions. Recognizing the tendency to feel that any deviation from the plan signifies complete failure reinforces the importance of resetting each day, allowing for a more compassionate approach toward one's eating habits and emotional responses.
