Lack of Control And New Member Posted: 05-21-07 00:39am
I need help! I have a long history where
food has always been a good thing for me
and that even though I am over weight and
starting to suffer from high blood
pressure I am unable to realize that my
eating habits are what is to blame. It
must me an attitude towards food.
Sometimes I don't even realize that I am
eating or after telling myself that I have
to start to control this problem I am back
in the kitchen again eating.
I think that I am asking for support.
People that can relate to my problems and
are interested in meeting regularly on
this forum to discuss our thoughts,
feelings and maybe our pasts while we try
to sort this out for ourselves.
I recently had a scare where my wife had a
dream in which she was told that she
should enjoy our times together because
she only had four years left with me. I
need to fix this once and for all and be
there for her and my son.
Surely there are some kindred spirits that
could use some mutual advice and someone
to sort their thoughts with.

i cannot entirely relate, but i can relate
to the concept where you turn to food for
comfort, or you just eat mindlessly, like
its a habit. im not sure what i can offer
because im still quite inexperienced for
my age, but i am constantly fighting
myself to control my diet and eating
habits so i can ensure a better future for
myself, physically.
so on the start of the new year, i started
a food diary, planning my food every day
and memorizing what i can and cannot eat.
sometimes i even stick notes on myself to
remind myself that i cannot go back to my
old eating habits, as i used to be obese
and chubby and round and etc. sometimes i
count to ten before picking up unnecessary
snacks, and i think often of how it will
affect me in the long run. im not sure of
your history exaclty, though, so it maybe
be helpful to divulge that tidbit of
informatin?
its a long fight and process, but its
worth it..

If you find that you are eating often out
of a comfort thing rather than out of
being hungry, you could try not buying
junk food at all. Try keeping a lot of
fruits and vegetables. Raw fruits and
vegetables are so good for you that you
can pretty much east as much as you want,
so snack away.
You could also try buying smaller amounts
food. So you could go to the grocery
store and just buy enough food for a
couple of days. That way you can't gorge
yourself too much.
You can also try eating very small meals
often. That can get your body used to
just taking in small amounts of food at a
time, but also giving you a lot of
opportunities throughout the day to eat!
You can also try therapy to get at the
root of the food for comfort issue.
