Completely Fallen

Do you think you would benefit from an anti-depressant / anti-anxiety pill?

You've taken the all important first step in admitting that you have a problem and you realize that you have been powerless. It's time to take that power back! No one is going to beat you up because we've all been there, had those days when we were powerless against whatever demons have plagued our lives. I'm sorry that those days have stretched on and on for you. Hopefully this is a good start to a new path on this journey. You've been eating as a coping mechanism to those stressors whatever they are. I hope you are able to start journalling your food and your feelings. Another good trick I heard is to take a picture of your food before you eat it. If you can't stop and journal I've no doubt you have a camera handy (cell phone will do) and snap a picture. A picture's worth a 1000 words after all!

I am a food addict, I admit I am often powerless over food and I've needed a lot of help to overcome the issues that cause me to be powerless. For the most part I've had some success but I've had many days where I've been overcome but I start every day with a plan and focus and hope. I'm far better today than I was a year ago and even if I never lose another pound I've improved my quality of life by so much! You've been there, you can do it again, you can be stronger!
