#Resound11 - Day Twenty Nine - Letting Go

Letting go can be hard. We get comfortable in our current situation. We have a tendency to repeat the same behaviours and patterns even when we know they are not in our best interest. Sometimes we hold on to relationships, dreams, feelings, or stuff just because we can't let go. But letting go sometimes is what we need to do.

Letting go is very hard to do, I let go of the binging this year! Since September 2010 I've been working very hard on having a better relationship with food in general, not demonising certain food (like bread) as it then becomes even more desirable (for me at any rate). It's difficult because I know bread is a trigger food for me, but now I know it's the trigger I can do something about it, knowing is half the battle I think. The other thing that has been important is letting go of impatience, I want to weigh less NOW, I know that's not possible, it's just hard to come to terms with. The thing I need to let go of in 2012 is self criticism, I beat myself up when I falter and that's not good, I expect to fail and so I do and when I do I hate myself for failing - but I'm actually setting out to fail so I'm just fulfilling my own prophecy.
