Well hi everyone,
I am climbing out of the pit of binge and despair. Pretty dramatic, huh?
I have been bingeing for about 2 months and I've gained about 20 lbs.
I figure it all started on June 15th when my daughter had her graduation from middle school. I got "low carb" ice cream on the way home and that was the end of it.
Really, I've been struggling since I started my new job. I guess I knew deep down that was going to happen. I can control the binge eating as long as I am leading a life with very little challenges. I have a deep-rooted history of feeling "not enough" so now that I'm back at work all those old feeling come back because you are learning new things. Also, it requires that you balance work and home life, which I've always sucked at.
So you always feel like you don't do things right. And then you eat to squish down those uncomfortable feelings.
My work clothes are getting tight. I'm not happy eating so I'm deciding to try to use my tools that I've learned over the last years and deal with my emotions. I was in a women's group for several years and we learned how to deal with emotions so I think I have the tools. I just have to be willing to feel the feelings. Recognize the feelings and let them pass.
Thank you for all of your nice tags and for thinking of me. I have thought of all of you, too, but I have been hiding.
Shelly
hey don't despair! at least you are starting again... and that's a HUGE STEP FORWARD!!!
I wasn't in hiding; but I too have put back on all those pounds that I had lost in the last few months... isn't it just NOT fair that some of us have to struggle so hard to keep those pounds off. Well best of luck to US again. Hang in there!
YOUR BACK!!! YOUR REALLY, REALLY BACK!!!!
I HAVE MISSED YOU SOOOO MUCH!!!! I know what ya mean with the binging. I did too after May. I was lucky enough not to gain too much weight back and it went away just as fast as I gained it so, I was happy about that. I'm just glad your back in case you couldn't tell...lol I've been hovering between 275 & 277 here lately. Wish I could get over the 275 hurdle. It's getting frustrating. But I will keep on trying after all its all any of us can do is to stay in the fight and not give up. I'm glad your back fighting along side of us all.
I think it's time we all got serious and start kicking some dieting Butt
...lol I'll TTYL Ciao Staci...oh did I mention that I'm glad your back
You have made the first step on the road to recovery. Forget about the past 2 months and go from today. Today is a new day for new beginnings. You are in my continual prayers.
I am here for you.
