I've been under control for 15 hours. Before that, I went on a crumb cake binge. It made me sick... shaky, tired, and irritable. So after the binge and before bed last night, I read a few pages from What Are You Hungry For, and it inspired me to try to regain control of my thoughts. It's true, there are competing messages whirling around in my brain. Desire and rationalizations. I must try to not succumb to bad habits. I need to be more aware and focused on making choices that will make me happier in the long run. The short-term pleasure of eating high-sugar treats has led to my feeling miserable lately.
I've gained a lot of weight in my midsection and it hurts. My hips and knees are feeling it too.
But I don't want to weigh myself right now. It would be too discouraging and I still don't want to give up.
I'll try to keep myself on the right path at this moment.

I know how you feel. I walk into most stores and all you see is candy. I have the craving for it but I have been working on telling myself that I don't want it. All it is going to do is make a sugary paste in your mouth and it is going to make you feel sick. I am at 403.4 lbs. I have back and knee problems also and I struggle everyday so just keep your head up and you will make it.

If weigh-in will discourage, then hold off a couple of another day or so. I've been taught that there is a difference in thoughts and thinking (even though we typically consider the words synonymous). Thoughts are presentations. You will have thousands of them in the run of a day. But thinking is processing. Every thought you're presented is not worth processing. I try to think of my cravings in those terms. The thought of cookies is not worth thinking since it is such a deterrent from my goals. I'm encouraging you to drop the dreams of sugarplums and Think Good Thoughts = A slimmer and healthier YOU! Stay committed and you can do this.

Baby steps. Trust me I know that temporary gratification better than anyone. I like what Cyd69 said, "telling myself I don't want it". I give into temptation lately too easy. I don't keep stuff at home, but one trip to the store or restaurant and I lose all control. Don't weight yourself, just wait til clothes feel loose. :) Good luck!

Been there, done that, so I too know what it feels like. Do you have someone you can call when you feel things getting out of control? Haven't binged in a long time and I am very thankfull. That was a time when I felt sick . I definately did not enjoy the food I was eating, I felt ashamed, defeated, lonely, fat and very ugly. You are not alone.
