Guest guest Posted February 1, 2005 Report Share Posted February 1, 2005 Hi Kathleen: Our attitude and our way of thinking as you know makes us feel as we do. I know there are days when we are down and we just cant seem to see the sun that day, but always remember, it is there. I know there are days when its really hard to see that all we have worked on for the better just seems to wash away all in one moment...but it hasn't. I know there are times when we wish all could be different and everything stays the same where we are happy with it, but it doesn't and maybe its because things change as we begin to grow. Life is change and sometimes its hard to accept the changes. Think back on your life to all the changes that seemed so hard at the time and how you have accepted them and went on. The important thing here is YOU went on, you moved forward, you learned. Acceptance seems to bring with it peace. I say this as it had been very, very hard to accept some of the things that have happened in my life but now that I have accepted these things I have felt the peace within. And more so an understanding that things happen in life and we have to accept things in order to move ahead in life. As I look back on some things that I felt tragic at the time, that I felt I was at the end , that there was no hope left, turned out down the road to be the best things that happened to me. It helped me to look at things differently, to move forward, and above all to be happier, and many more things. This experience alone has taught me so many things, and probably the best one is, you never know what tomorrow brings. During those difficult days or times keep the thought in your head that..this too wont last.

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2006 Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 I didn't mean that quite how it sounded. I didn't mean that I was the biggest loser of weight in the group.

Guest guest Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 can you get rid of the binge food / not have it in the house or have it elsewhere than the kitchen (things that tempt you or that you can't resist/put down / say no to)? or keep things around that would be good to binge on? I can't eat more than 3 apples at a time no matter how hard I try and keeping things like chips or cookies are just an invitation for me to 'finish' everything there is, no matter how stuffed I get. maybe that's not you tho .. just a thought ... ________________________________ To: insideoutweightloss Sent: Thursday, June 23, 2011 3:16 PM Subject: Re: Today i cant stop bingeing and i dont know what to doooooo.

Guest guest Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 Hi Avie: I know your pain and suffering well. I applaud you reaching out for help! Try this NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) technique I use often to change eating behaviors and behaviors in dealing with my sister who has dementia. It REALLY works!! has used something similar in one or two of her podcasts. How to change your habits Changing habits is easy when you know how, all you need is the proper motivation and an understanding of how your mind works. Theatre of the Mind is a great tool for creating easy, natural change. It is so effective because you are using the language of the mind (imagination) and you are giving it a new direction to go in, rather than just telling it not to do certain things. Like most things in life you will find that it gets easier and more effective each time that you use it, so use it. Hypnotic Programming in The Theatre of The Mind Imagine that you are in your own theatre sitting in a very comfortable chair watching a movie screen. In front of you there is a control panel that directs what happens on the screen. 1. Identify an unwanted behavior or pattern 2. Create a movie of how this behavior typically happens, starting the movie about 5 minutes before the behavior and 5 minutes after the behavior. 3. Watch the movie 4. On the control panel choose some “antidote” states that would change this movie. Maybe if you felt more relaxation or confidence you would act different. 5. Go to the beginning of the movie and give yourself the resources you want and set the dials on your control panel the way you want it. If you want you can score the movie with music that makes these feelings even stronger (like hearing the Rocky theme if you wanted to feel confidence or New Age music if you wanted to feel relaxed). 6. Replay the movie and see how it changes with these new feelings. 7. If it feels good leave it alone and let it loop as many times as you want to make the feelings stronger and to install it into your mind. If it doesn’t feel right change it some more and replay it.

Guest guest Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 Can you try some meditative breathing? It helps me when I feel in a frenzy and out of control. Check out www.withinsight.com for some guided meditations. Hope this helps!

Guest guest Posted June 26, 2011 Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 Good morning, Avie! Since you're online and it's fresh in your mind, can you walk us back a step or two? How did you feel when you first woke up? Rested? Or was it one of those nights where you know you fell asleep... because you woke up so often? Who was around when you had breakfast? Mom and dad? Or were you on your own? Did you eat at home, or was the binge somewhere else? Did you binge on food you at least enjoy? Were you able to get ANY pleasure out of it?
