Guest guest Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 Hi, Arlene Sorry to hear of your troubles... I'm not sure what ME is... :-? Just wondered... do you think you could walk in your home? In your living room? Because the " Walk Away the Pounds " DVDs are easy, low- impact, but yet really pack some punch! And, you don't need a lot of room ... you need only walk in place! ) You do 4 moves... walking in place, knee-lifts, kicks, and side-steps. And, the one-mile walk only takes 15 minutes! FLYLady says " you can do anything for just 15 minutes! " ;o) See the WAtP website: http://www.lesliesansone.com (And, FLYLady is here: http://flylady.net ). All things are possible... just take it one teeny step at a time. For example, you could just watch for your hunger signals for this week. Or, even just for one day! Watch for your body's signs that say you're actually hungry! Don't worry about the rest for now. It'll come. Be patient with yourself, and know that this is a PROCESS. It takes time to relearn to follow your body's cues. ;o) {{HUGS}} Jenn <>< I've just reached obesity - probably because of Christmas - and I'm getting really scared now. I didn't think I would ever allow myself to get this heavy but I just can't seem to stop eating. I crave food all the time. I also have ME and need to sleep/rest a lot, and can't often leave the house - so I don't even have exercise to help. I don't know how I'm ever going to stop eating so much. There are so many things going on - ME, depression, OCD - and it just seems so unmanageable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 Hi Arlene, Please don't beat yourself up about gaining weigiht. Remember that the weight means something. It sounds like you really want to leave the house and go out to do things. Is this because of a lack of car? Do you live too far to walk anywhere? It sounds like you crave food all the time when you might be craving to live life and be with other people and doing things. I know that I went through an experience with binging when I first got married and didn't have a job. I was home alone all day, and we had just moved and I didn't know anyone. One thing that helped me was getting a job so that I had stuff to do - that took my mind off food a lot since loneliness and boredom were my triggers at that time. I also got involved in volunteer work, a bible study, rode my bike, and went for walks. Basically, I just got a life, and it really helped me to stop living for food. Hang in there Arlene. You CAN overcome this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 Welcome Arlene, I am sorry to hear you are having so many issues. Hang in there. What is ME? Take it one day at a time. Have you gotten the IE book yet? Give that a read and see if there are things in it which will be helpful for you. Take care and chin up!! Michele Arlene wrote: Hi.
