Update

So, since I've last updated I spent time volunteering at a camp for special needs children. The only thing I could eat was beans and iceberg lettuce! Ugh! I had corn chips and other non-E2L things and am struggling (Once again!) to get back on track.

I'm really questioning whether or not I'm ready to do E2L . I think about food all of the time when I'm on a "diet." It's an emotional thing, not a hunger thing. I know I'm a food addict. If I could just eat one meal a day, I'd be fine. I'm fine during breakfast, but the binging starts once I hit lunch. And I binge late at night as well.

At this point, I'm really considering going back to the way I ate to lose the bulk of my weight. I ate cereal, fruits, and vegetables. It's something that's doable and sustainable for me. The only reason I was eating that way was because it was cheap, satisfying and convenient. I didn't have cravings or have the emotional desire to eat anything else; I had just become vegan and still had my [soy]milk and cereal as a SAD comfort.

I'd like to try eating this way again. I think I'll just modify it a bit so that it's as nutrient dense as possible. I recently bought a blender on sale (Specifically made for smoothies), so I'll definitely be drinking a lot of blended salads.

I'd love for people to weigh-in with their thoughts!
