True Confessions Of An Overeater...wishing I Could Change
The truth is that I am constantly putting food and junk...mostly junk in my mouth! I am a compuslive overeater and seem to have no shame. I would never go outside naked yet I will go outside and let people see me eating like a pig and nothing could be any more personel than that! It is just as shameful as being stark naked!
I am so tired of eating junk food and never cooking any decent healthy food for Don and I. It started about 2 years ago, with all the pain and various surgeries, the wreck and stuff and now I NEVER prepare healthy meals at all. We eat pizza, fried chicken, slaw, potato salad from Walmart, subway sandwiches,or lots of those already prepared entres that have absolutely no real food value and much to much salt! I am begining to find myself wanting some healthy food lately, and the new direction the forum seems to be taking, is making me want to try again. Only thing, is that I will start on a plan and then get off it and back onto junk so easily!
I would like to start on a healthy plan of eating and try to go from there to cutting down. I did have a call from my doctors office about my cholestrol and it being higher again so am having to start back on Pravastin. I am also taking Lyrica, which is known for causing weight gain. It is now time to take control and do something.
It is my mental state that bothers me with the diet. I honestly KNOW that ALL weight gain or loss starts in the mind. It is not a battle of the belly but rather a battle of the thoughts and pleasures that junk food bring on. I'm too old to be sexy LOL and too old and in pain to exercise, so I have got to find a way to derive pleasure and happiness from NOT EATING the wrong things. Now how to achieve this is the question. I am thinking that wearing a smaller size should bring much pleasure and that seeing my swollen face shrink would also bring pleasure. Now I am too old to really look great in a nice little dress that could slip over my body and be cool and comfortable....but I could enjoy my age and body at this point in my life by being a smaller size and looking better. See I know all this about myself, but still have to get it into my head to start trying and enjoying the fruits of my labor.
Well Here is hoping and I need to be praying that I can do it and lose some of the 220 lbs I am carrying.
Well, now you have it, my true confession and believe me it it TRUE! Gaye
