Sick and tired of being sick and tired

Postby purplepansy » December 6th, 2005, 9:21 am

Hello all,
It has been awhile. I must say I am so disgusted. The last few months I've been on an eating frenzy. Eating when not hungry and eating to push away the anger and feelings i've been feeling for years.
I started a new job in Sept and that has added new anxiety and stress.
Can you tell I don't do stress well?
I made a list last night of all the reason's I need to lose weight. Mostly to be healthy for my children. I truly feel I am an addict. I need medifast to clean the slate so to speak. I don't want to think about food, points, calories, grams of carbs.. sigh I am so low right now.
Thanks for allowing me to vent..
this is a journey on which today I took my first step..

My dear Purple ~

There are many here who have been where you are... including me! I not only gained back what I lost on Medifast, but added on 6 pounds too. You aren't going to get scolded - at least I hope not! ;) If so, then I need a real good one myself.

The important thing is that YOU ARE BACK. YOU CAN DO THIS! :)

It's a tough thing to resist the Need To Feed. Oh I know! I am in the middle of the dark hours for me; all day Monday and most of today, I had it all planned out what binge foods/wine I would buy. I even left my car right outside my front door last night because I anticipated running out for that 3,000 calorie pizza shortly.

Instead, I went to My Virtual Model, created one of my future skinny body, and I "shopped" for clothes, trying on skimpy outfits on my imaginary body. And I tried them on my current fat body too. Boy, have to say, everything looked MUCH better on skinny me :lol:

After an hour of that, and eating my MF dinner, the pizza whines had been reduced to a tiny whisper. I didn't do it.

Tonight, I parked my car in the garage, and told myself, if you want it, you walk down the snowy driveway to get the car.

I came on here and read a LOT of posts. I thought about my 4 "pure" days back on plan so far. Did I really want to blow them for one dinner? Start over at square one tomorrow morning? My jeans are no longer killing me... I can tie my shoes without wheezing in the morning.

I still want that pizza and that wine... but for another day, I am not going in give in. I have used the excuse of "just today" or "just once a week" too often! Where does that get me? FATTER!

:x

So, trust me, you have my understanding. And my support! You and I want to lose just about the same!

Let me remind you how wonderful it is to throw back the covers in the morning and think "How much weight have I lost today?" and get to see those numbers down at your feet... rather than waking up with a food hangover and dragging through the day, only to be "comforted" by another binge later.

The difference between the two... :yippee: or :sadblue:

Purple: :hug: Tie on that Medifast Bib... :bib: and start watching those numbers drop!

Hi Purple and welcome: :wave:

Good post Sarah and congrats for not giving in to the Pizza demon. :twisted: Eating is such a gratification for about an hour. :| Then the guilt sets in and it just isn't worth it. Starting over........again... and the feeling of depression :cry: is the pits. We've all been there...but pat your self on the back for not giving in. I truly believe coming to this site vs eating really does help!! :-P

Keep up the good work Purple and Sarah, it's worth it. :D

;) ,
