-, Oh hon I'm soooooooooo sorry. With all the crap going

on in your life you are bound to have set backs. Try to take things

one day at a time, no forget that....take them 1 hour at a time. Is

there anything relaxing you like to do that you could do at night

instead of eat. Maybe even just get on here and read posts. Or

sleep....novel idea-lol. Could it be that your scarving then because

it's the first time you've had all day to actually sit down and think

about the crap and then you get stressed-just a thought. Try

drinking something hot and relaxing at night. Drink it really slow

in a low lit room and just concetrate on RELAXING!!!!! Hang in there

and know we are here for you, no matter what. Hope to be seeing your

posts about 10 oclock tonight. Meaghan-- In

I can definitely empathize with you. I have a big problem with nightime binges

as well. I can do well all day long, then I get home and just go crazy! I have

been doing a LITTLE bit better lately, although I am still eating more than I

would like. I have found that it is really bad for me to walk in the house at

night feeling hungry, so I bring a car-friendly snack with me to work, and eat

it in the car on the way home. This gives me just enough to take the edge off,

so I don't feel quite as much of an urge to go into a feeding frenzy!

I hope your doctor can help you resolve your sleeping issues, I can relate to

those too! I have multiple sleeping disorders, and have been seeing a sleep

specialist/neurologist for over a year now, trying to get the right combination

of treatments and medications to help me sleep (she of course says losing weight

is a major necessity for some of my sleep problems). Sleep deprivation can

really wear you down! Stress makes it hard to sleep, but lack of sleep makes

you more stressed. It is a real catch-22 situation, and if you are anything like

me, you turn to food for comfort! Is your doctor going to prescribe you anything

to help you sleep? Sleeping pills or even an anti-anxiety medication?

Good luck, and keep your chin up!

First of all....big big hugs to you...I know very very well how hard it is to

feel like the one that is ''holding it all together'' and simultaneously feel

forever targeted by people who hate to see someone doing a good job of

keeping the ends glued together. I had the MIL from the bowels of HELL let me

tell you!!! BUT this isnt about me now is it??!!>.....Nooooo its about you

and what YOU can do to make YOU feel more in control of YOUR life and YOUR

habits

This is just food for thought (pardon the pun but.....is your situation w/

your MIL, your marriage or any of your responsibilities (kids) going to

change anytime soon ..like in the very near future? No? I didnt think

so.....Sooooooo instead of letting the things you truly CANT change right now

get you down...lets think about what you CAN change...and TADA...thats YOU!!!

You didnt mention water at all in your post so just a hint here...try

increasing your water intake everyday and you will FEEL the difference in

your energy AND hunger levels almost immediately. I dont mean start chugging

it nonstop but if you slowly work your way up to half your weight in ounces (

about 92 oz for you ..I know I know it sounds like alot but its REALLY sooooo

do-able!!) you will notice the difference so quickly you will wonder how you

ever went w/o it!! HONEST!!!

I know too well also how it is when you get home a little on the edge and

eat...then eat dinner...then do the

baths..dishes...laundry.....homework....get the kids to bed things....and

find yourself again exhausted and feeling like you NEEEEEED something!! have

to have SOMETHING...and you mindlessly eat. HUGSSSSSSS!! I know how easy of a

pattern this is to fall into and its ok. Its changeable Its workable!!

What kinds of food are you eating now? What do you like to eat? Do you eat

breakfast at all? Do you have time for exercise right now? ...I really would

be glad to help in any way I can if you would like ...just tell me a little

more about what you do like and what you think would work for you!! ORRRRRRRR

decide this is all too much to deal with right now and just hang out with us

until you feel more ready to tackle this.....thats absolutely fine too!!

Whatever you want to do....we're glad to have you here!! Let us hear from

you again soon whatever you decide!!

I totally understand your frustration!! At night, when I come in from walking,

and I get in front of the tv or computer, the first thing I want is something in

my mouth. So, I chew a piece of Extra gum--it really does last a long time. If

you count calories(i don't), then it has like 5 calories a stick--but that's

less than chips, etc...! Hang tough girl!!!

OK, I'm still here but I've been avoiding all of you! I can't even

start eating bad, OR even if I eat a very good dinner, I get hungry

around 10pm then eat MINDLESSLY! What is wrong with me? I haven't

posted a weigh in because I've gained 4 pounds! I started at 180 and

a week later I'm 184! I want this so bad, but I can't do it! I

know " don't say can't " ! But it's TRUE! I've tried SO many ways and

so hard. I can't take it anymore! I can't control my portions, to me

a serving size is enough to make me feel so full I can't move! There

is so much going on in my life I feel like I can't concentrate on my

weight! I work full time, have 3 kids and a disabled husband, not to

mention my marriage...we won't even go there! Money, custody issues

with my oldest and my exhusband, my nosey-ass MIL, who apearantly was

a perfect wife wnd mother, my own mother who forgets I exist. Can

you believe I went to the doctor and she said she thinks my abnormal

sleep paterns (had a sleep study done) MAY be from stress...don't

know where she got that idea! Sorry for the whining...somebody just

sew my mouth shut!!!! But then I'd probably just resort to snorting

the food! LOL

Oh ,

You CAN do this. You just need to put yourself first. I know

firsthand how hard that is, since I just started doing it. My

theory on it these days is that I have to take care of myself or I

won't still be here for DH and the kids. It took the wake up call

of one of my SIL's passing away at 47 to make me realize that in

order to be here for my kids and eventually grandkids, I need to

make these changes. Its not always easy, but its getting easier.

Please, come here when you need support, or to vent, or laugh, or

cry. We are all here for you, and we want to help. Take care!

Well, that's a HUGE problem for me! (putting myself first)

Hon we are here to vent anytime. No apology needed. Now, what's done is

done. This has to be a new lifestyle. There will be ups and downs, it's

how you deal with them. As for the mindless eating, that is mind over

matter. Work on getting into the habit of STOPPING before eating,

taking a drink of water, brush your teeth, find something busy to do

for at least 10 minutes. Ask yourself some questions like: Am I hungry?

Why am I eating? Do I need this? When was the last time I ate or how

close is it to meal time? I have a rule of thumb, if it isn't 2 hours

after or is less then 2 hours before I don't have anything. It takes

discipline. It takes wanting to lose weight more than the short term

gratification. Some other things are take small bites, make yourself

chew thoroughly, eat off of small plates. Find out what a portion is

and only allow yourself a portion at a time. It takes some getting used

to. You have to really want it.

Just work on little things, one day at a time. The key to weight loss

is doing things you can do for the rest of your life. It shouldn't FEEL

like a diet. Think about doing what is healthy for your body. Think

about how good it will feel to lose the weight. Sometimes it takes

getting mad enough. Sometimes it takes getting scared. i actually got

up to 284 not once, not twice but THREE times!!! I was sooo upset with

myself! Then......... my dad died of obesity related problems. I went

to the doc and he told me flat out, I was going to wind up just like my

dad if I didn't do something. I got scared!!!!!! I'm about 206 and I

can tell you this, life happens. That's why it has to be lifestyle,

learning to deal with things better. Learning from our mistakes. You

can do this. We will be here for you. I suggest going back and reading

some old posts. I'll repost some I'm thinking of with Attn to .

Take care,
