Topic: Root of emotional eating
Seems alot of us are battling emotional eating.Mindless eating when we are not even hungry.The stress I am under is unbearable at times. I am so glad I had a fill last week and I cannot over eat but this tool works to a point and then I will go back to the mindless eating. I need to get this under control the root and cause. I have mean nasty inlaws and dealing with both of them end of life care is taking a huge toll on me. Both have dementia and the death bed confessions has ABOUT destroyed my hubby and myself deeply.. the alligations are so unreal and yet mind blowing how does someone keep secret like that especially when it could have a huge impact on my children and my well being.Thank God the alligation are so untrue and when I asked my kids they assured me their uncle is mental on drugs and needs therpy and unfounded but brought back my root and cause why I became obese, Like many people who battle obesity many of us have a molestation or rape back ground and to ignore it does not make it go away. Ten years of therpy and a self commitment to a mental ward 10 years ago help me to stop the self abuse distructive cycle. I was a cutter and I ran from pain.. But I replaced it with Food and over eating and beCAME morbid obese Talk about continuing the self torture self abuse cycle I was not dealing with my issues I am so mad right now and angry at my inlaws I was hoping God would take them now!! So I can be done with his family but NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO they are gonna be the type that are gonna probally live to be 100 and demented. Ok they both have dementia been already documented LOL I know I am surely not alone in the outlaws issue. Maybe we should have contest on who has the worst inlaws .. LOL I know I will win the most crazyest (did I spell that right?) and most dememted inlaws. I so want to eat them away but they would not even taste good with ketchup
LOL They are so not worth one bite of MINDLESS ANGRY food or extra calorie eating I JUST NEEDED TO VENT!!! I love the Idea of a massage and body rub but dammit with gas prices I have no extra money to pamper my self but nooooo it was spend on gas seeing dealing with the inlaws and taking care of their ungreatful sorry !@#$%^&* Dont get me started on gas prices I Paid $4.45 a gallon. I spent 100 dollars to go there to help them that could have paid for 2 massages. OK ALL I AM DONE VENTING I feel better

Topic: RE: Our surgeon lost his house in fire
I feel for all those who are dealing with the fires I said to a friend the other day we need to suck up all the water here in Cedar Rapids and dump it on the fires in Cali. We have lost 1000s of homes and thousands of people have been displaced here too so what your dealing with hits close to home.

Topic: RE: back again :)
Amanda sucess is a process and we will always battle this food addition the difference is we have a tool in place and we now stop and think more about choices as before we never gave much thought to what we were doing. We have not failed weight loss it is a process and a journey we are gonna have good days bad days but the key to sucess is being accountiable to each other and honest with ourselves.. and our mess ups plus share in our success and share in goals and miles stones.. We all need each other .. I often wonder how the men folks are doing as they left us months ago .. I am a emotional eater and food was my drug of choice.. I will be here.. even if no one else will be I promice I am here for the long hull.. With out this board I would have failed along time Ago, We are family here and I will never pass judgement on anyone .. I have a disease and it is call obesity but I HAVE A TOOL to help beat that disease.. welcome back Amanda
and everyone who wants to come back .. we need you like you need us

I am so happy to hear from you. I can tell you that not getting in your vitamins and protein in can cause some of the feelings you are having. The B vitamins are so important to energy and nerve function.
I noticed that when I stress eat that I gravitate towards slider foods. I can not eat very much at a time but I seem to eat every hour. I also start to grab more processed carbs and this just left me feeling hungry all the time (which is actualy the stress talking).
So, my strategy this last time was to NOT grab a refined carb. I felt the feeling but reached for pure protein. Meat, yogurt, nuts, etc. I found out that it just snuffed the eat-eat-eat feeling I had. Seems simple but it worked.
Stay in touch....

Topic: back again :)
Hello Everyone
While I read the boards at least once a month I just dont seem to be able to post regularly. Everyone here is such an inspiration to me, I just feel so disconnected from everyone and everything. I'm down to 175 pounds now, thats 130 pounds gone. While that is good I'm finding myself doing just as suggested in the why we need this board more then ever post. I too am a stress eater. I eat for comfort. I am starting down the path again. I pick and pick and graze and graze, never full never content. I mean i am capable of feeling full i just never eat enough to make me full. thank God I stop when I am full, but still this isnt the reason I got the surgery. I got the surgery so that I could live life like a normal person.
I am close(only 40 more pounds until my goal) to my weight loss goal. However I am so far away from my life's goal. I wonder if sometimes a person can mess up so bad in life that there is no way to ever fix it. I am so far away from everything I ever thought I wanted for myself that nothing seems within reach. I know that I suffer from depression, and I am currently on meds but I just dont think that this is depression talking. It's a voice of reason.
I really need to get back to the board and start participating. I have never went to a support group, and cant say that I am getting in vitamins and protein. I think I just need to be around people who are like me and understand that this battle with weight is far from over. It is really just beginning. So hopefully I 'm back for good, and I wont just wander way because I'm isolating myself.
peace and protein
