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 --Previous Message-- : 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 : : : : : : --Previous Message-- : 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 : perfectly, I want to feel proud of myself : when I go to bed tonight. Love to all and : happy weight loss. Love Sandra : : :
