I would give ANYTHING to be somewhere that all I had to do was exercise, socialize and have someone else prepare my meals. No Chance of cheating then is there??? I am careful not to eat anything too bad but damn, no matter how I try my crappy marriage is overwhelming to me and I catch myself in the middle of a mouthful like I was in a trance till that point. I hear myself convincing myself that I don't care anymore but I do. Point was, watching that show makes me realize what I could be/ look like if I lost control. I got up to over 300lbs, medical reasons where a contributing factor but not as big as stuffing food in my miserable face. Having a craving for a food I DON'T need, so now I suddenly understand (note I do NOT sympathize, I do howerver empathize with them) the addiction. I don't want to give into it but it is still there 3 days later and I have no idea why I am craving it either. Anyone else have a cure? I tried dill pickles, I tried eating GOOD foods till I couldn't move (turkey breast, fire roasted red peppers, cucumber and tomato) but still wanted that. I was so full I had no room for it, but you bet I still wanted it!!!! Thanks for listening to my rant. |
You're so close to your goal now! Loosing 68.2 lbs in a little under a year is definetly nothing to sniff at. You've done a great job so far, and you just need to keep chipping away at it
I'd honestly say there's no cure. I used to imagine that when I was at my goal weight, everything would be perfect. Well, I'm almost there now, and I still have cravings, I still have fat days, and I'm still not happy with my body. I've learned that even though I've lost (most of) the weight, I'm going to need to monitor what I eat for the rest of my life to maintain it, because of the simple fact that I love food. I love food that's good for me, I love food that's bad for me, I love it all. I've also learned to love exercise, and I'm sure that will help, but some things will never change, and if I want to make this change a lifelong one (and I do), then it's going to be consistanly on my mind.
Everyone gives into their cravings once and a while. Stress, opportunity, there's tons of factors. What matters is getting back to it. You should like such a strong person, and I'm sure you will get back at it, and I'm sure you'll loose the rest of your weight. You're not stuck, you've only paused.
