Hey Ladies
As you all might have guessed I went on a binge!! After almost three weeks off of sugar I ate a candy bar and I haven't quit eatig sugar since. But tomorrow is Monday and I'm starting over. I had lost 6 pounds in three weeks and now I've gained two back in 3 days. I've read all your post and I've said a special prayer for all of you that are going through bad times and sickness. Love ya, Judy
Thank you Judy....2 pounds...youll have that gone in no time...like you said Monday is a fresh start, you'll do it and probably loose 2 and then some! We are all entitled to a binge once in awhile, I allow myself one day a week to blow it, where I eat anything I want, junk and all....it seems to work for me. Anyway just wanted to say sounds like your doing fine and you have it under control 2 lbs isnt a big deal.
Aw, Judy, it's ok sweetheart! Oh, I am SO LIKE YOU! It's that ALL OR NOTHING sensibility we live by - either I'm ALL GOOD and taking 110% good care of myself, or ALL BAD, in the food doo-doo and hating myself and feeling like CRAP. Judy, that's no way to live! It's just not realistic or sensible. What we have to do is just find a way to be SANE about all of this. I've just bought a book I found at Border's, can't remember the name of it but it's written by a woman who many years ago was just insane with her food addiction - you know, the shoveling fast food in her face while driving, eating an entire box of cookies or donuts, secretly, thinking no one knew her shame or behavior - going through the garbage to pick out the food that she threw away because she couldn't stand herself anymore - just to shove it down her throat at 3am anyway. She was out of her mind with the addiction. And then she just discovered how to be QUIET. How to quiet her mind and her surroundings. And that was the trick for her. This is as much as I know because I haven't really started reading it yet, but it was enough to hook me, because I really think this is my problem. I have such a sense of urgency all the time about everything... that if I can just figure out how to feel quiet, I can quiet this Demon Voice that is in my head about food all the time. Anyway, honey, I'm right there with you - all the way, all the time. Love, Maureen
