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.
