Sometimes you just have to vent.

It just takes some people a while to realise: "That didn't fill me up," often does not equal "low calorie."

Chris, I think I would have to agree with Dx the most on this one bro. Stand up in the middle of all this BS psych-babble and say "What the hell is wrong with you people...YOU are the ones shovelling ice cream and cookies into your filthy holes, so why are you crying to the group about it? Shut the hell up, and take some responsibility for your own actions and stop looking for someone to blame!" That'll either get you thrown right out of the meeting, or get a few heads turned your way...either way, you'll get their attention. I personally know that IF I go back to eating the way I used to, I'm gonna get fat again, so ONLY I can decide for myself exactly what and when I want to put something in my mouth. But personally, I have vowed to stay away from the sweets and junk food for good. Eventually, I may go for some of the "healthier" fast food, but no where even close to what I did before. Sometimes in life, it becomes painfully obvious that we need to stand up and verbally *****slap the living snot out of some idiotic people who desperately need it. Give it a shot, and feel free to rant here anytime. We won't get offended and not speak to you, or start a bunch of gossip about you running around telling everyone that you have a big ass here.
