Inner selves fighting - NOT hungry but still want to eat
I struggle with what all of you have posted. I think of the issue like this....
Remember the old Weigh****chers slogan--"It's not what you did...it's what you do next!"
Well, I am still using that. Some days I am weak and eat like a fool. I try to shake it off and be kind to myself. I don't use namecalling or self-abuse to torture myself. I am human BUT now I will do better. I shake off the bad behavior, say a prayer and re-commit to get back "on the wagon".
It doesn't hurt to keep a journal or blog about what has been gained with peaceful, healthy eating. Some of my gains are:
less medications
better skin
less allergies
can cross my legs
great clothes
can work out and do normal activities
don't sweat all the time (winter and summer)
I'm not tired all the time
I have more self-confidence
I save money on food, too!
Hang in there, everyone. We can do this....it's not a "once and done"....it's working on this everyday the rest of our lives. Sheila
