Food Addiction Support Group

An individual suffering from a food addiction disorder frequently experiences episodes of uncontrolled eating, or binging, during which they may feel frenzied or out of control. They will eat much more quickly than is normal, and continue to eat even past the point of being uncomfortably full. Binging in this way is generally followed by a period of intense guilt feelings...

"You cannot prevent the birds of sadness from passing over your head, but you can prevent their making a nest in your hair."

i like this one (snicker) the message is kind of the same as the quote about falling down vs. staying down.

the choice is ours - we can either feel things and let them go OR self-indulge (a nicer word than wallow - but it means the same thing!!)

there is a story about Abe Lincoln - someone asked him if there was something he could say that would always be true, no matter what the circumstance. he replied, 'this too shall pass'. that's how the story goes anyway.

all things will pass - we can't stop life - but we sure can get 'stuck' in an emotional place ... you know .... if we let birds make nests etc.

I am not saying that there is ever an excuse to binge or self indulge. But sometimes we may not feel strong enough to take life's punches and therefore we fall back into our old ways easily for comfort. I joined Jenny Craig a few years ago and lost 55 out of 75 lbs. I felt pretty good but I was plateuing at the time. Also the truth came into my face that there was a developmental problem with my son AND just to put the icing on the cake, some so called friends who I thought were good friends, who I sacrificed my time to help out.. backstabbed be and judged me for something that I did a long time ago without KNOWING the story nor were willing to believe me. Anyway thats a side issue all together but.. sometimes when we are severely knocked down (when it comes to not so good news in regards to your kids, its much harder to deal with than it would be in regards to yourself) you just don't know how else to deal with it at the time.

Therefore as I had failed to add, I am back to where I was a few years ago, and I have a load of weight to lose again...
