confessions from a food addict

I know others are going through some of the same things, but I swear I don't understand why I do the things I do sometimes. Stopped in a store on the way to school last night to buy a diet drink and I came out with a regular sprite and a box of those malted milk balls, and I ate about 1/2 the box before I got to school. Felt like CRAP for about 4 hours, I cursed myself, got up this morning and I had gained 2 pounds since I weighed monday. That is the first time I've actually gained since having my surgery, and it SUCKS! but I know I did it to myself. I as so afraid my old habits will take over and I will gain the other 90 pounds back too. I've got to regain control of myself. Just wanted to vent to someone who would understand.

I have been there, I have done that and I still do that. I have no answer for you or I would not still do it myself. I just feel like crap about myself and then brush myself off andf try to do better the rest of the day. You are not alone but keep your chin up! Patti

i think we all need counseling.. overeaters anonymous.. or something!!! Im right there in the boat with you.. i think the bigger people would smack me now if i walked into overeaters anonymous.. not knowing that i was 320 lbs and STILL FEEL and want to eat like im 320 lbs now. its an uphill battle!!! Hope you feel better soon. (((HUGS)))

This is EXACTLY why I see a psychologist.  I dump, but it never stops me once I have it in my mind that I want something. We have to fight ourselves.  Its a never ending struggle!

I sure am glad I'm not the only one that does stuff like this.  Once I think of it, I eat it.   Hope it gets better for you.

I find it helpful not to do the behavior that leads to the crappy decisions.....like I stopped buying drinks at the gas station because I know if I did-I would probably make a stupid decision while in there We only keep granola bars in the house because I know if we kept other junk I might eat them I don't go to Ryans or buffet houses because I know I'll over eat Mexican is a bad food choice for me-so either my wife takes the girls when I am not available to go or when we all go out--its not mexican I found being pre-emptive helps alot. It certainly does not stop the stupid things we occassionally do-but it does minimize them Chris

I'm right there with you Anita... You should have seen me with a freakkin chocolate donut.. WTF was I thinking !! I ate the entire thing.. and one of his little glazed friends!! Then I layed on the couch for an hour in pain... UgH!
