HI Manymoons,

what a wonderful reply! I have only been macro for 4 months now, so it is very very early days yet, and I am intensely aware that restricting myself too much is not a good thing for me, having come from a very restrictive background in terms of eating disorders and things, so at this point i time i know that having and allowing wide variety of wholseome macro foods is essential to my healing, even including the occasional non-macro sweet every now and then, and allowing myself to enjoy its taste, texture and nourishment. And yes sometimes i feel i eat too much, or had too much sweet food for comfort, and my mind does like to go into overdrive telling me how silly i am, and that i need to restrict what i eat for the next day etc etc - but I am also AWARE that it does this and why - i think its the combination of past patterns being triggered and the yin, exapansive energy - and in this way I am becoming more and more sensitive to how i feel after ive eaten, and to what ive eaten, and can now even recognise which foods calm me down and mellow me out, and which ones leave me not been able to sleep....and despite all these feelings, to me being macro has really opened up a sense of freedom within me, freedom to eat as much as i feel i want to and not feel guilty about it as I know it is all such nourishing food, freedom around food, well for the most part anyway! im still working on that of course.....arn't we all?!

anyway so about the #7 - when the time comes when i feel i am in the state to be able to handle what comes up, i will do it as you said, one day at a time and just go from there, i really resonate with how you explained it to me. Thank you so much
