Scales going up!

Oh my gosh! I got on the scales this morning...they've gone up. Someone slap me and tell me to quit eating! Tell me I'll be o.k. I'm eating out of bordem. It's depressing....help!!!!

Stop eating!!! (unless its pouch worthy!!!) drink water!!! eat protein!!! walk or exercise!!! cut back on salt and processed foods and sodium!!! no refined sugar!! DON'T GIVE UP!! Don't react----act to get back on track. Do something fun to get your mind off eating. Turn off the tv,there are too many food commercials. Post on the board we have all been there . glenda

Tina, You hang in there girl. We all have those kind of days. We I find myself wanting to graze I reach for fruit or try and drink water just to curb that feeling. You can do it girl. Just tell yourself do I want to continue to lose or do I really want to eat this. I know sometimes our head hunger wins out but you know what girl, just pick yourself up and get right back on it. Love ya Denise

I do not know what else to tell you. The scales will continue to go up unless YOU change your eating habits. YOU are the only one who controls what goes in and out of your mouth. If you dont want to gain the weight then you need to get a grip on your eating. We've talked to you about this, we have given you ideas of what to do, we have offered to be your work out partner... the rest is up to you. There is no more sugar coating. You've got to do the work. We all have our issues with food and we know the struggles... you've come too far to go back to gaining. Its been 2 years - the honeymoon is over - the hard work is here and youve got to do it or not do it and be ready for the weight gain. YOUR NOT GONNA BE OKAY IF YOU KEEP EATING LIKE THAT!

Hey, Tina, I am sorry to hear that the scales are continuing on their upward trip. You have gone through surgery that completely altered your insides. You endured a great deal to get that weight off and I know you would like to lose more. So please do not throw it all away for a morsel of food. It is just not worth it. And I know that it is so much easier said than done too. I have a binge eating disorder and I wake up every morning fighting it and go to bed every night fighting it. And I will for the rest of my life just like an alcoholic or drug addict will have to constantly be aware of their addiction forever. I have been through classes and done self help books and I go to support group and I come on here to stay in recovery from my eating disorder. And it is not easy but worth every bit of work. I have been very lucky that the self-significance class I took and the self help books on binge eating disorder, local support group, and this site have been enough for me so far. But I really think it may be time for you to realize you cannot do this without some help. Help is out there. I think you should call the Rennaisance Place and see about getting some therapy. If I was or am ever in your shoes of feeling out of control again, I will get some therapy. I will not let this disorder overtake my life again. So please get some help before it is too late. Make that phone call that is going to save you. Lots of Hugs, Melissa Taylor
