Hi Ruthann
Thank you, Oh I know why I binge because it makes me feel numb to things, the more I eat the more numb I become and able to deal with it...it's unfortunate but true...I know my personality and I don't think I can sole sourse, when I did CD last time and lost all that weight I added a 400cal meal each day and found that it kept me going because I knew I was going to have that meal. Does that make sense. Ruthann wish you lived here and had that support group :-) I often wish that there was a weekly meeting or something in this area that I could attend. thank you so much for everything. Love SAndra

: Sanda,
: Maybe this will help you a little bit.
: Food Addiction is hard to combat! You can
: decide to never take another drink of
: alcohol, never smoke another cigarette, or
: never use drugs again, BUT YOU CAN NOT
: DECIDE TO QUIT EATING!!!!! HOWEVER, if you
: choose, you can decide to not eat any food,
: and just to use the Cambridge products
: because you can live on Cambridge only.
: Don't do this if you have serious medical
: problems, unless your Doctor agrees for you
: to do this and monitors you. It is too low
: calorie for a sick person. For some of us,
: my self included, it is easier to not eat
: one bite because once we start we can not,
: or do not want to stop. The ten years I did
: the support classes in my home I had many
: students that were night eaters. Many of
: them were night eaters because the rest of
: the family could not see them eat. I had
: others that would wait until husband or wife
: left, got in the shower, or went to bed and
: then ate. Others told me that they ate to
: get back at the person who criticized them
: for eating too much and for being fat.
: Others had had a tragedy in their life and
: overate to help ease the grief. I started
: this support board so all of you can say
: what you want about your weight problems.
: Understanding what are the things that make
: you want to eat the most will help you to
: not continue to eat when these things
: happen. It is hard because most of us use
: food to comfort ourselves. Have you ever
: eaten one thing after another because you
: felt you needed something, but regardless
: what you ate you still felt the same way.
: Try saying, food won't fix it!, food won't
: fix it!, food won't fix it OVER & OVER
: AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!! Then do something else,
: anything that will help you stop. If you
: want, take another serving of Cambridge.
: Sometimes it will stop you from a BINGE.
: When I did sole source for 2 months one of
: the things that helped me not eat was the
: thought of having to go through the first 3
: or 4 days again, Before I started, I had my
: husband take a picture of me in my bathing
: suit FROM THE BACK. Looking at that sure
: motivated me because we were going on a 2
: week beach vacation where I would be
: swimming and would be wearing a bathing suit
: EVERY DAY.
:
: Do your best. I kinow how hard it is.
: Hugs & Love Ruthann

: Goodmorning sweet CD ladies, I had a rough
: day
: yesterday, just got up with v. little sleep
: and felt like I just didn't care and ate my
: way through the day. I have to forgive
: myself and move on and realize that there is
: going to be struggles and hopefully that I
: will learn from them. This morning feeling
: refreshed and ready to tackle the day as
: best as I can. My commitment to myself
: today is NO binging...that's my downfall, I
: eat eat eat till I'm ready to puke...not v.
: healthy but I know I can get through it.
: Today is going to be all about me, I WILL
: NOT BINGE...even if I don't end up doing CD
