Cant get it together
I am over 2 years out and it seems like in the past 3 weeks. I have lost my mind. All i do is eat, I can eat alot too. Today I ate a whole 6 inch subway sub. At once. I am afraid to get on the scale. I should know better than this. It is almost like I dont care. I dont know how to put on the brakes. The hard part about this, is i am therapist, and i see a therapist, I know what I should do. I just cant seem to get myself together.
I have felt this way before too and its scary! Sometimes I just don't care or I get so sick and tired of logging food/exercise, worrying about what I'm going to eat for the day or just feel like being "normal" for awhile. Thankfully for me it always turns back around and I get back on the right track again before doing too much damage. Maybe hopping on the scale is just what you need to scare yourself straight! Sometimes that works for me, sometimes it doesn't b/c it just makes me feel worse. You have to figure out what will work for you and then do it! Just know that you're not alone in your feelings and I think alot of us go thru this from time to time. I guess its more important how we handle it when we get into a funk, not the funk itself~does that make sense?!?!?!? Good luck and keep us posted!

absolutely makes sense. funks will come and go. How we handle it is up to us.
I am definately hoovering in some food so I know it is not hunger. It is fear.
I am so close to finishing this race and getting PS. I think this is all fear.
Thanks for replying. I use my State Board very heavily. But somehow I worried about posting this for all the newbies, and because alot of them look to me for guidance because of my being a therapist,. This is hard to admit

I do that, It's called a "meal"
Sersiously tho: depending on which sub you had eating a 6" sub is not unreasonable. Come to think of it, if I ate my favorite (Club) for EVERY meal, that would still be only right around 1050 calories on the day. I do know that I had two in the past seven days.
Getting things together seems to start with creating an honest food log. Once you know what you eat, you can make adjustments.
