I really like what falls said. This is such a big deal for you, Dinah, to even have such a goal and to be willing to try to make such a change. I think maybe you aren't giving it the time and/or weight it's due. Letting the initial frustration get to you? Boy, do I know that scenario.
It will be another process within a process, so to speak. My guts says it could lead to something pretty deep. But I imagine in the meantime it could be really scary.
I'm happy you did not hurt yourself. Any time any of us don't act on those various urges (for me, it can be as seemingly silly or mundane as NOT eating an entire bag of chips...because one of my unhealthy coping things is to *abuse* food...often...daily...) we show strength and growth. I really believe that. (And, what you meant was more immediate and serious than overeating, I know that.)
Hang in there, Dinah. We see progress where you see failure. Perhaps the *lens* we're peering through is a bit clearer than the one you're using right now? Hugs, - 10der
