Guest guest Posted March 10, 2007 Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 Hi all, I've been reading all the recent posts. Welcome to all the newbies. Warm fuzzies to everyone for being so obviously dedicated and commited. This gives me so much strength to stay with this. I started a food journal in the hopes of getting more insight into what I've been eating, why, and to hopefully develop a clear hunger/full scale for myself. I've also finished reading the book and put it right back to page one. It's good to start over with the basics. This morning I realized one emotion and it felt like an aha....I drove my son to his job after eating an IE breakfast (I stopped when I was full). As I was getting in and out of the car I began to feel short of breath...then in my mind the panic, " If I don't lose this weight I'll die, I'm too young to die, I must be in heart failure, How could I be 40 and be in heart failure?, well because I'm so big, I'll die " .....etc. By the time I got home I was no longer thinking this way but I was thinking of eating. I was not feeling hunger!!!! So I asked myself, " what is going on? " Then I recalled the self talk in the car...I had convinced myself that I was dying and was totally panicking emotionally. I am happy to report that I did not eat, now there is hope in action (Thank-you to my Creator for this), I started doing some housecleaning and now I am here. Hopefully this little snipit can help someone else. Audrey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
