Satisfy a thought ?

Their's something that I want to satisfy; but I don't know what it is ? That's why I drink or sometimes eat when, I'm not hungry to fullfill that satisfcation that is deep in me but. I still try to figure it out??. but what it is, I don't know? I guest their something in all of us that we still trying to find out !. WHAT IT IS ?? If anyone on the broad have a idea of what it is let us all know????

Just found this board and thought that I would respond. I wish I knew the answer to the question. My Counselor that I have been going to for years asked me a few weeks ago what is bugging me and its not about food even tho I use food as my ''drug of choice''. What is it that I am searching for, needing, loving and or hating that makes me go search out the ends of earth and then put it in my mouth. If (big word there) I stop and really think am I hungry I am never ever ever hungry. Sometimes it is worse then others. Lets put our heads together and find answers.............Sharon

Hello Sharon ! Sometimes IT so strong. IT seem like I cannot control IT. I get board to quickly needing other things to do . At times when I leave work, I just want to keep driving and don't want to go back home. Need some adventure in my life, just tired of doing the same old thing. Have no children, no grandchildren and my husband board me to death sometimes it seem that a counselor connot help. I may need to answer my own questions to find a to the solution to my problem.

I am not alone ha? i was beging to think that I was go to go crazy. I feel so guilty at times when I just wont to be by myself and than I say a prayer to God that I dont wont anything to happen to my family but I need some me time. I have a 21 19 and a set of 5 year old twins plus I work at a school with 6 and 7 yr olds. The eatting thing is worst than anything. I always give in and just go get something or a drink. I still eat sweets and night. and of course we all know what happens I start to feel funny and than the next morning i will dump a little. I think it is a strong part of who we will always be. Just like the drug and alchol additcs. sorry for my speeling skills . But it feels great to know i am not alone.

Reading your comments and knowing a lot about food being a "drug of choice", I want to add that sometimes I just want to know "What about me? Where do I fit in to the plan...last in line...?" I know that this sounds boring, but I really never got to be part of the fun when I was morbidly obese. Now I feel that I have to be cautious that I fit in because people monitor you when you're fat; then you lose weight and people monitor the "new you". Seems like I'm not sure who the new me really is? When I fumble or feel disappointed, I still feel like heading for comfort food. I only eat a little bit of it now, but the habit is still an issue for me. Food is a drug, but I need to eat so I am trying to learn to separate the emotional part with moderation. Moderation is NOT helping me find where I fit in...so maybe that's what I'm searching for? It feels like that might be my target goal...to find out who I am and love who I am when I figure out what I want to be when I grow up (now 50 years old... LOL) someday. Ro

Hello Ro !! You express yourself very well, you have wrote down some of my thought also and I'm 50 too and I'm learning how to love myself and dress up every day and wear makeup on a daily basics. And look at the new me. Ro maybe you have to do the same thing to get motivated to love yourself more. (LOL ) Leawanda

Wow Ladies, I am in the same boat with you!!!!!! HOW I LONG FOR EASIER ANSWERS AND SOLUTIONS! I am 48, have always struggled with weight. Now feel like I still basically don't fit into the so called NORM molds! Have been stuck at a loss of 96 lbs for almost 3 months; and battling desperate depression to get back into the game! I have also found many judges and critics out there; have felt like I have been under a mircoscope lately! Hate being here!!! Need basic motivation once again.. Best of wishes to all.. Hugs, Judy R
