Re: Craving sweets - going downhill fast

[Guest guest]

I have been in this for a while and the sweets have been overpowering me as well.

I feel like I'm in this mind game with myself half the time. I know I shouldn't eat it, I know I should really listen to myself, I know I shouldn't hold myself back. Now I'm not listening to anything anymore (after a 12 pound weight loss in the beginning) and I'm just craving junk!

I eat when I'm bored, eat when I'm not hungry, eat when I should eat, eat when I shouldn't eat, eat what I should, eat what I shouldn't, eat what is good for me and what isn't.

Seems like all I'm doing is eating and not listening to anything.

I was thinking the exact thing today. Sweets are just overpowering me and I can't stop eating them. I know I shouldn't deprive myself but I can't stop eating them either. Plus, I've gained weight and feel horrible about myself. My clothes are tight and I have to go out and buy something that fits better. I hate this! I just bought "Thin Within" yesterday and am anxious to read it. I'll get started on it tonight.

I'm so discouraged, I don't know what to do anymore.

I've been having a lot of health problems and recently went to a new doctor who is recognized for his ability to balance hormones -- including insulin, thyroid, etc. He has some very strong beliefs about the effects of too much sugar and refined carbs and has a similar approach to eating as put forth in the South Beach diet.So... in that vein... some thoughts about sugar... yes, we should eat what we want but we also have to understand what is happening to our bodies. Eating sugar and refined carbs creates cravings for more. The same thing will occur with some/most of the artificial sweeteners because your body processes it the same as sugar by releasing insulin but then there is no real sugar to process and your current blood sugar level drops and brings about more cravings.Learning intuitive eating is learning to respond to your body... and right now it's likely your body is addicted to sugar. I think there are varying degrees

of that addiction... I've also found for me that certain foods and drinks can bring about more cravings and cause me to eat outside of hunger... Those include refined carbs/sugar and caffeine.Just my thoughts... please don't be offended if this does not apply to you. Oppermann wrote: I was thinking the exact

Thanks for your e-mail. I think I am addicted to sugar. I am hypoglycemic too. All I seem to want is carbs.

I really need to see a nutritionist about eating correctly for hypoglycemia. Until then, I have to somehow get past being so discouraged.

I'm hypoglycemic and insulin resistance... Try to make sure you have a small amount of protein when you eat anything... typically you would want to combine that with a complex carb... like a veggie... I started down the path of IE but because I'm hypoglycemic I've had to adjust... Tribole talks about nutrition later in her book but focuses on eating what you want in the beginning so that you learn that you really can be trusted with all foods... even those you love.I agree that we need to learn that but those of us with blood sugar issues can have a heck of time getting through this phase if we eat a lot of refined carbs... we feel terrible!!!!So finding success with IE is balancing the mind and the body... learning to trust yourself with food and to love your body so that you feed it what it needs... At least that's my assessment from reading and trying to work through the hypo and IE... Good luck!!!

I guess I didn't really think that because I'm hypoglycemic, I can't *'really* eat whatever I want because it's mostly sugar. It's hard because I feel deprived and then go nuts with sugar. I have to tell myself that even though I *can* eat it, it doesn't honor my body so I should make another choice.

You CAN really eat whatever you want... but you choose... or your prefer to eat something that won't make you feel bad... Change the words... change the thinking... For example... I choose not to drink a lot of liquid before bed because I don't want to wake in the night to go to the bathroom. Oppermann wrote: I guess I

Thank you . I for one am not offended. I think there are good things to follow and be adapted from the South Beach.

I'm going to try being better to myself. I certainly wouldn't allow my children to eat all that garbage. I have been feeling depressed lately, low self esteem, so I think that has alot to do with it. Gaining weight and feeling huge even though I can still sort of hide it.

But I refuse to buy new clothes. I can't afford it!

And I can't afford to be bad to my body anymore. I need to start exercising even if it's for a little bit.

Me too, .

I had to stop at a Wal-Mart on one of my deliveries for work the other day and buy some jeans. I've been wearing a 12 (relaxed and stretch style) and they still fit but are snug. I wanted a bit more roominess so I'd be more comfortable. I took in a pair of 14s and they were so tight I could barely get them zipped!!! I ended up with 2 pair of 16 stretch and relaxed and a pair of 18 relaxed. I've NEVER bought a pair of 18s before!!!

BUT I also know that if I go back to dieting it's going to be another roller coaster ride. I'll lose, feel good about myself for a while, and then gain it all back plus some. So I'm determined to struggle on.

All I really want is to stay ONE SIZE. I don't care if that size is something bigger than I'd like to be, but just to stay there. I'm so sick and tired of buying clothes all the time, both smaller and larger sizes. It's just too expensive. And humiliating. The coat I bought last winter doesn't fit so I had to buy a new one yesterday so that I have one to wear this winter.

Thanks so much, ! I know I'm not alone in all this. It just seems like when

the weight starts coming back on it comes on FAST!

I'm wearing the size 18 jeans today and they are REALLY roomy! LOL! I feel so

comfortable in them that I wish I'd gotten the other 2 in the same size. I've

even noticed that my attitude about my body is better today because I'm not

feeling squished in my clothes. My body certainly didn't change, but my attitude

sure has, and all because my clothes aren't tight.

I'm trying a new tactic... since I can't seem to keep myself *away* from chocolate (a HUGE trigger food), I've bought a small bag of peanut M & Ms, and I'm going to have just 3-5 after every meal... see if that satisfies my sweets cravings.

, let me know what you think of the ThinWithin book... I really enjoy it. )

I was thinking the exact thing today. Sweets are just overpowering me and I can't stop eating them. I know I shouldn't deprive myself but I can't stop eating them either. Plus, I've gained weight and feel horrible about myself. My clothes are tight and I have to go out and buy something that fits better. I hate this! I just bought "Thin Within" yesterday and am anxious to read it. I'll get started on it tonight.

I'm so discouraged, I don't know what to do anymore.

This is why I recommended Fred 's "Chunk to Hunk" website -- he's all about changing your thinking from negative to positive. Very much about common sense. His story was just what I needed to get me out of my rut/depressed funk and back to working on putting IE into practice. )

Thanks Jenn. That looks great. In fact, I'm going to order a copy for my brother. (Even though it's out-of-print, I found used copies on Amazon.) He is over 300 lbs, and just found out he is diabetic. He was in the hospital last week because his blood sugar was over 600! He could have died. Anyway, he is determined to beat this and lose weight. By the way, he is an amputee. He was in a motorcycle accident and had to have his leg (from the knee down) amputated. He doesn't want his diabetes to get the best of him and end up with the other leg gone too.

I will definitely read the book.

I have to tell myself that even though I *can* eat it, it doesn't honor my body so I should make another choice.

Rhonda,

Don't be discouraged about the size. Remember, all clothes are made differently. You may wear a smaller size with one brand, and a larger in another. I know it's easy to say - I'm going out to buy some pants today and know I'll get discouraged too. But, we have to look at the positive. We are alive and well and are blessed to be able to buy the clothes in the first place!

Re: [intuitiveEating_ Support] Craving sweets - going downhill fast

I have been in this for a while and the sweets have been overpowering me as well.

I feel like I'm in this mind game with myself half the time. I know I shouldn't eat it, I know I should really listen to myself, I know I shouldn't hold myself back. Now I'm not listening to anything anymore (after a 12 pound weight loss in the beginning) and I'm just craving junk!

I eat when I'm bored, eat when I'm not hungry, eat when I should eat, eat when I shouldn't eat, eat what I should, eat what I shouldn't, eat what is good for me and what isn't.

Seems like all I'm doing is eating and not listening to anything.
