Guest guest Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 ah, I am right there with you. talking myself into trying something even though I know perfectly well i don't really want it, then eating a bunch of it anyway. that's pretty much my motto lately. thinking this over lately, i'm starting to think that this is a sign of some anxious or unhappy type emotion, for myself anyway, even if i wouldn't describe myself as being anxious or unhappy just then. it's as if you're asking yourself " are you SURE you're ok? are you SURE you don't want to try this thing? it might make you feel better! " i don't know, it's just an idea i'm trying out for myself. thea > > I hate when I do this. I see something on the counter, my kids are eating it, or it's in the pantry, and I have no desire to eat it - I'm not hungry, it doesn't appeal to me in any way, but I talk myself into trying 'just one - in a silly challenge to prove that I can eat just one'. Today it was Sterzings potato chips, and dog gone it I ate nearly the whole bag... Then I felt kind of sick. Why the heck am I doing this to myself? Worst of all, I truly did not want them... I had eaten some the day b4, allowed myself to enjoy them and felt satisfied when I was done. > Knobloch > Sent from my BlackBerry® wireless device from U.S. Cellular > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 I think you are SO right! I'm taking rx anxiety medicine until June 2 when I can see the psychiatrist. Currently I'm in marriage counseling. Wow... You could be an IE coach! How insightful! I have an MS in counseling and still can't figure myself out!Thank you. So Much!!! (3 a.m. It was half a frosted chocolate cake... I'm feel so sick today.)

Guest guest Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 That is funny because I am going through the same thing myself recently. Part of it I think because how much I missed my father. May 2nd was his birthday. May 22 was when my mother died. I am kind of both happy and not happy. I am happy that they are no longer alive because they do not deserve to deal with so much pain. Cancer and brain tumors. But I am not happy because of how much I miss them both. Another thing there two huge bowls on table in living room. Full of candys there and I do not truly had any interest yet I keep pick some of them from there. I wondering why did I do that when I do not really want them. Eliza > > > > I hate when I do this.
