Struggling

Hi Melissasue! Sorry to hear you are struggling! I can relate and what I have found works for me is making time for "Me". I need time for myself to battle the food demons. I may go to the gym, go for a walk or run, go and putter in the garage or the yard, anything I can do to try to take my mind off food. If this does not work, I limit myself to a small "treat". I work hard at not binging. I recently went through a grazing period and thankfully I asked for ideas and help on this forum and it worked. My only advice would be to find someplace to put your energy and make time for yourself to do so! Good luck

You are so not alone.  I too am struggling.  I have just returned here today because of that struggle and your post was the first to catch my eye.  I have been considering therapy myself for the same things.  While I have not slipped back into closet eating - I do have some truly bad habits.  For example, every night I read before I go to sleep.  I also have a snack at this time.  (I can hear the collective sighs out there).  This in itself is bad I know - but what is worse is that my normal snack of choice - a particular brand of BBQ chips.  I am terrified that I am slipping right back down that slope.

You are not alone.  I am right here also struggling.  All I can suggest right now - today - is we don't focus on "what if" but focus on how to make it through today.  I'd love to keep in touch and share this journey with you!  If you are interested - friend me!  We'll struggle and find ways to get through the day together.
