I'm really struggling...

Hi Lynn,

I can really relate... I'm actually more comfortable with my cheeks, north and south, my chest and legs, but I hate the extra tummy that comes with it. And I do understand that strange sort of feeling fat in a size 6 or 8. Who would have ever thought. And no, I know that we are no where near anorexic or conceited either.

I think that adding in exercise on a regular basis may be the key for me. I have never liked it, but I may just have to suck it up and do it anyway.

Barb~
((((hugs)))) I am sorry you are struggling. I wish you all the strength in the world to get back up on your feet. Thats great you have made the choice to start logging things that you eat/drink. That always helps me if I start slipping. Best of luck to you Barb.. chin up friend.. YOU CAN DO THIS!!!!!


Let me know if I can help

Darcie

Thanks Sweetie... How are YOU doing?

(((((HUGS)))))) Barb!  I am so sorry you are going through a rough patch.  This, too, shall pass.  I know it may not be good behaviorally, but sometimes when I want to eat for comfort, I pick something that won't do much damage calorically....and eat all I want of it.  For example, I'll get some carrots and lite ranch dressing....heck, there's only so much of that you can hold, right?   While it may not address the underlying "eat for comfort" problem....at least you won't be doing too badly with the eating....

I know you will pull out of it...you are so strong and such an inspiration to the rest of us here!

Hang in there!

Lisa,

Thanks for the understanding, support and suggestions.

((((((((hugs)))))))
So sorry you are going through such a difficult time.  I will keep you in my prayers.  You have been such a source of encouragement for all of us here!  I am sure you will be able to quickly turn this around! 
take care of yourself..........

Dee,

Thank you for your supportive encouragement, but I think the fact that this has been going on for months is what scares me. That said, while I'm still scared, I'm hopeful.

Barb,

Much love and hugs to you, my friend.  While I am squarely in that honeymoon phase, I don't have much wisdom to offer you in this time of struggle.  I can, and do, offer you my support and love and that if you need anything at all, please let me know.  I'm just a phone call away.  My hope is that as we walk through the Beck Diet Solution together, that you will regain the strength you need and I will gain it for the 1st time.

Love you.

Hi Angela,

Your support, care and consideration are much appreciated and I too hope that as I refocus my energies on identifying and managing those destructive behaviors I will gain the tools necessary to help me be truly successful.

Thanks again,

Barb,
I'm really sorry to hear about this struggle!  i certainly understand why you're stressed & you have every right to be stressed with all that's happening with you and yours!

Go back to Beck!!! I know you can get a handle on this you are a strong woman!!!  You've already been through so much, i know you have the strength & perserverence to handle this too.  But i will say one thing.....  Barb, step away from the bullseyes!!
How about this.... every time you feel like putting something in your mouth you give me a call....   I'll talk you down!!  Love Ya Barb.... Hugs to you!!
