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. |
Your feelings towards those in Brookhaven I'm sure are echoed by others in your shoes. I am terribly sorry to hear about your marriage. Issues in personal lives tend to carry over into eating habits for many, and breaking free is tough, as food can be a comfort. One of the cures to craving all that bad food is not eating for a long while. I've talked to many who have turned to a healthy eating lifestyle and they utter the same sentiment. After eating healthy for so long the bad stuff is no longer appealing. I myself no longer look at a doughnut as a treat, I look at it as a big chunk of fat. I literally envision myself eating a chunk of fat when I eat it. That mindset is natural to me now.
But it's a catch 22! How do you get to that point? There are a lot of tips that can help you curb your desire to eat all that bad stuff, many of which are in here:

If you aren't employing some of those ideas, give em a shot. If you've tried all those items and they don't work, well then we can maybe work on other suggestions with you.
