Just my thoughts, sorry for being so long!
« on: July 31, 2011, 09:03:33 AM »
BEING OVERWEIGHT

"Most" of us in the United States do not eat because we are hungry, sadly. We are "emotional" eaters, "bordum" eaters, (now I know what the term bordum kills means! ;D)we eat when we have a bad day, heck we eat when we have a good day! If people at work offer us food, we're "certainly" not going to turn them down!
Now, it seems there's a holiday just about every month, and what does that mean? MORE FOOD! Food to an overweight person, is like alchol to a drunk. It's an addiction. We're so used to the way we've been eating for years, we don't see the harm in it! Even when people are screaming saying "you're going to die if you keep eating this way!" Same thing for an alcholic. They don't care as long as they get their next "fix."
But, there are a few of us ;Dwho are sick and tired of being overweight. Not being able to fit into the "skinny" jeans! That we have put our foot down and said "no more!" No more will I eat like a pig! No more will I eat until I make myself sick, no more binge eating, no more bordum eating! We have finally come to the realization that us and nobody else is in controll of our lives. We have the will power to say no to food!!

Here, here Stephanie! :) :) :) :) :)

I've been living this way for almost 1 year, and my appetite is nothing like it used to be.
Eating like a "pig" was not uncommon for me. In fact, looking back, ALL my portion sizes were WAY to BIG! :o :o :o
And overeating too often most days did not help either.

I've also found that when I reach that NORMAL "full" (satisfied) feeling, my appetite immediately disappears.
I love the feeling of not be overstuffed!... There is so much more to enjoy in life than FOOD! :) :) :)
What you do today is what matters!

Oh yes...I agree.  I use to stuff and hated the feeling...now just eating until comfortable is great because I know I can eat again if I'm hungry and it's not going anywhere. lol
Peace and blessings,

Snobles, you hit on the head.  While reading your post I thought about my evenings in front of the tv.  Never would have considered myself a "binge" eater but now realize I probably am (was).  I would grab a bag of chips and get started.  Before the evening was over I had eaten the "whole" bag.  Is that binge eating or what?

You said it so very well - it is all so true.  Little by little (and I've been really trying to work on it the past couple of weeks) I'm weaning myself off of nighttime snacking.  My favorite snack of late is some deli turkey, mayo, and a pickle!  Yummm.  If I want a crunch, it's pork rinds and a bit o' salsa.  I am sick and tired - I have reached that point where it's now or never, and never just can't be an option.

Thanks for your heart-felt thoughts - they said it all.
