Time Passes...food addiction remains
Apr 08, 2014
It's been five years since last used this website for accountability. I have a full life with a beautiful four year old daughter, a husband, and thriving businesses that keep us busy. But the stresses of life trigger addictive tendencies and my compulsive eating reared its ugly head. I have only gained 15 to 20 pounds from my lowest weight after surgery; however, since I never quite reached my post surgery goal in the first place, I've been struggling with the numbers. Over the past five years I have opened two restaurants with my husband, had a child, all while maintaining my full time government job. To say that I am busy is an understatement and exercise and healthy eating dropped to the bottom of my priority list. I felt pain everyday in my knees and back, and had no energy. One month ago I decided to face the reality that refined sugar and white flour trigger compulsive eating tendencies in my body. I must come to terms with this reality and stop fighting it. Stop being angry about it. Stop. So I cut these items out of my daily food intake. My compulsions to overeat are going away and I feel physically much better. My plan is to also reconnect to this website for strength and inspiration. If you pray, please say one for me.
