Re: Im in seroius trouble

[Guest guest]

Dear ,

Just to throw in my two cents, I think what you are going through

is what all of us have experienced at one time or another. We are scared that

this is just another way of losing weight that will ultimately fail just like

all of the other diets we have been on throughout our lives. I know I had

that fear before my operation. I used to think that somehow, either I or

something would screw this up and that I would be going through it for

nothing. I never realized just how much of a mind game this thing is as well.

You have got to convince yourself that eating what you think is little more

than normal isn't going to make you look or feel the way you did before.

Because if you don't then you really have gone through all this for nothing.

Like I said, just my two cents. Good luck.

Thanks for posting. I am so glad that there is another all or nothing

person out there. My theripst see's my danger also and she is working

very hard to get me to change before I have my surgery (another 7

months or longer). I did not even realize I was like this. Yes the

mind can be our greatest enemy.

I will keep you in my prayers. I know the struggle, I am very

familary

with it. Keep working at it. It's not something that is overcome

overnight.

Be at peace

,

I'm so sorry that you're struggling with this. I can totally understand the

panic, guilt, and stress that surround eating. I feel guilty just about every

day! Unfortunately, my love of food overrides that ;-)

I think you're incredibly brave to confront your problem and seek help. I'm

sure you'll feel so good once you start eating in a physically and mentally

healthy way. It's a life-long struggle for most of us. I'm glad you're around

to share your troubles, and allow us to help you through this.

Hope to see you at the NWH meeting. I'll be swapping clothes, and then have

to skip out to go to my shrink ;-)

Big Hugs,

Alice A.

I am so sorry to hear of your situation. Have you spoken to Dr.

Thayer and his staff about this? I would think that THEY would be

the ones to help you!

Please keep us posted. We care.
