-

Breaking the habit of overeating can be challenging, but with the right strategies, it’s definitely achievable. Here are some tips to help you get started:

  1. Identify Triggers: Understand what prompts your overeating.

      I was always taught that it was boredom.  So I guess it is boredom. 

  1. Practice Mindful Eating: Pay attention to what and how much you eat.                                                           

    I try to savor each bite but people tell me that I eat too much. 

  2. Plan Your Meals: Having a meal plan can help you avoid impulsive eating.   

      Impulsive eating?  What is that?  I don't have that.  

  1. Stay Hydrated: Sometimes, thirst is mistaken for hunger.                                                                                  I try to drink water. People tell me that I have something else in my water jug besides water---like coke. That is irritating as hell as I only have water in those containers!  If I have a coke, I will only have one.  

  2. Manage Stress: Meditation works best for me and journaling.  Talking to a friend also helps too.  

  3. Avoid Skipping Meals: Skipping meals can lead to overeating later.                                                            This is where I skip meals because I would rather not do that hand-to-mouth coordination.  So I skip some meals.  

  4. Keep Healthy Snacks Available:  This is how I do not want to do that hand-to-mouth coordination when I get a handful of nuts or get a small container of yogurt.  See?  I have hand-to-mouth disease.  

  5. Seek Support: Consider talking to a nutritionist or joining a support group.   
      I did join a support group, WW.  

Would you like more detailed advice on any of these steps or additional tips on managing stress and anxiety?  Yes, I want a more detailed advice and additional tips on managing stress and anxiety.  Apparently have this thing going on with my mouth called lip-farting that is I think is related to stress.  I could be wrong though.

Sunday August 25, 2024 | My dream on Saturday night August 24 | Hypnosis for selective mutism

-
I had a dream that I was in the hospital in Galveston Texas like the one I was in when I was 10 years old.  Working on getting rid of SM through hypnosis.  Is there a good hynosis therapist in Beaumont Texas who specializes in selective mutism?   I am determined to overcome selective mutism now or at least most of the way.  Some idiot told me that I won't be able to overcome SM entirely.  Ugh!  Or will I be able to overcome SM entirely?

Wednesday August 28, 2024 | Do parent's say this to their kids who have a disability? (the highlighted words in this blog)

-
Got this from copilot from the question I asked, " would people pleasing be an example of "you don't want to disappoint mom do you"? "   Is this true?   Sorry I had a flash back of my dad saying that question phrase that is highlighted in yellow.    (A phrase that my dad said to me when I was 3 and 4 years.)  Ah, the delicate dance between parental expectations and a child’s desire to please! 🕺🌼 Let’s waltz through this topic, shall we? “You don’t want to disappoint mom, do you?” —a phrase that can carry both love and a subtle weight. It’s like a mini emotional tug-of-war, with the child caught in the middle, clutching their teddy bear and pondering life’s mysteries.   Here’s the scoop: The Mom Guilt Tango : Parents often mean well when they say this. They want their child to succeed, be kind, and make them proud. It’s like they’re handing the child a bouquet of expectations, hoping they’ll bloom into the perfect little sunflower....

I knew this when I was 5 and no one had to tell me this. So is this really true? But because I have selective mutism, my learning challenging and people think that I am stupid. It is that communication thing that people think that I'm stupid. I know the highlighted and BIG LETTERS SOUNDS unreasonable, I just want to get across to people that I am anxious all the time! Do I have to start cursing for you people to hear me? I will. I know that BIG MOTHER OF ALL CURSE WORDS. I bet no one knew that did they? Actually, I got it from those kids at the hospital in Galveston when I was in the hospital back in 1984. So I knew about that word when I was about 9 or 10 years old. Actually when I was 4 years old I felt like I didn't belong because I was trying to tell myself how or where I got my selective mutism and I felt that way for a long time. Maybe my dad has ADHD? Perhaps my parents have ADHD and it somehow turns into autism in children? High-functioning Autism. I th...
