I think you are doing fine. I wouldn't expect this to be an instant fix. I personally know how deep compulsive eating behaviors run. It took me years to get to the point that I no longer feel controlled or overwhelmed by them. Sometimes they still whisper to me, but I can shut it down effortlessly and immediately without any attached emotions. But like I said...it took a long time. My only hope is that this may be a way to lessen the power it has by being able to tell yourself, "I can't have (insert food temptation here) now, but I can have my planned meal tomorrow. Hopefully that will defuse some of the anxiety and stress of having to make food related decisions.
