Sometimes I skip a meal and feel powerful and in control for doing so.
Then I go a whole day and think to myself, \"now I\'m really getting somewhere\".
Then the hunger starts.
I tell myself that I\'m not hungry, that\'s just the fat going away.
Then I eat someting, and I hate myself. I tell myself I was doing so good and could have held out longer.

I understand what you are saying. The thoughts like -you aren't hungry and its just the fat going away- are negative thoughts, they are hard to look past but what you should see if you can do is start writing when you have them and determine if they are your thoughts or if they are thoughts that will destroy you. The hardest thing to do is know what you want, not listen to any of the voices and know that food isn't your enemy, the voices are. I hope that helped just alittle.

My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
