I decided that today I was going to get on track and take control of eating. I am having the hardest time this morning. Why is it that I have let food run my life for so long? Why can't I be in charge? Somebody give me some words of wisdom or a swift kick in the butt!!!!! Melissa

ALWAYS! I'm always struggling. I wish I could help, but I can't even help myself. Food addiction sucks! Kathy

It does suck. I have found myself wondering if even Gastric bypass isn't something that will work for me!!! Can you tell that I am in a funk!!! Melissa

Maybe this would make a good subject for a reality TV show, lol. Watching people struggle with food addictions on a daily basis. I would rather be addicted to alcohol than food, at least you don't have to go to a liquor store all the time and it's much easier to avoid than something you need just to keep you alive. God, it's just not fair we have to continue to go through this and it's definetly not easy to stay on track everyday of our lives. I'ts the same with exercising, it is so hard for me to get motivated when I hurt all over from the fibromyalgia. I keep telling myself it will get better but the pain kicks in and kills my desire to work out, so walking is about all I can do most days. I want to work out with weights, but I might as well try lifting a mack truck, it's just about that hard and painful to do. I guess we just need to keep on trucking and do the best we can. Mary

You are so right. We should make a reality TV show. We would all be filthy rich and famous. It is so hard. I think maybe I need a therapist. I just don't seem to be able to get my act together. I don't know what my problem is. I am just sitting here pulling my hair out today!! Melissa

Melissa, I have been saying the same thing. The only thing that has helped me is starting to exercise. I walked ALOT when we were in Florida and it made me feel better about eating. I was thinking about you yesterday as I was baking in the sun. Wish you were with me. I was by the pool from 9:30 until 2:30, it was great. You will have to plan on coming to the beach here in August. Mary

Oh Mary! I wish I would have been there with you yesterday. That is one thing that I can do and not think about food.....sitting in the sun!!!! I would love to make a trip this August and spend time with you at the pool, beach, anywhere that we can just sit in the sun and enjoy good conversation!!!! Melissa

I think we are all in the same boat at this point. If I have "bad" stuff in my house I have a hard time - if not impossible - resisting it. Today I started on Dawn's kick-start diet to see if I can get more of this weight off. I have had a protein shake and a protein bar so far and am getting ready to have another shake....so far, so good, but it is definitely not a walk in the park! If anyone comes up with the magic answer, they will be kzillionaires (I know, not a word) Susann

I was inspired by Dawn's idea to get on track starting today. I have done it, I am just in a funk about it. I am feeling sorry for myself because I am not eating junk!!!! Isn't that the craziest thing you ahve ever heard!!!!! Melissa

i agree, I am having a hard time too. I started my day at a funeral... and as I left I wanted to go right to see Ben & Jerry. But I knew they would just make me feel worse, so I didnt. I hate Mondays..... but I know I am getting closer to my surgery and then closer to my new life. I need to meet with my boss and tell him that I am going to be out of work in 4 weeks for 2 weeks....and I am dreading that. WHY AM I SUCH A "GD Procrastinator??????" oh, and the funeral.... was right near my ex bf's house. And I had not travelled those roads in 4 months.... and let me tell you..... I did not like it.... lol. (ps. do you know who Ben and Jerry are?) lol J.
