Like you said, I usually just feel horrible, frumpy, fat afterwards! Thanks for the reminder! Post-binge feelings are anything BUT what I desired to feel before I gave in to eating tons of unhealthy food! thanks so much for writing this post! :)Jenny Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10918414981437642775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4940532301117802640.post-120139848039440092010-03-19T09:13:29.050-06:002010-03-19T09:13:29.050-06:00Good for you for going back to weight watchers in ...Good for you for going back to weight watchers in the face of a gain.

When I was in my 30's I used food as my *drug* of choice. I didn't do other drugs, so the food drug did the trick. And it is legal. Cramming myself full of sweets (mainly) helped to block out all of the yucky stuff in my thoughts and life. But I didn't mind cramming myself full of burgers, fries, pancakes, chips, or tacos either. <br /><br />You made a good decision with the wine over the dessert, plus as you wrote, it was what you really wanted. <br /><br />This whole messy journey to a healthier lifestyle that we are all on is complicated. It seems like you got a handle on what you need (want) to do. Now, go out and do it! I'm rooting for you.<br /><br />Margie M. writes at:<br />www.myhealthylivingthruweightcontrol.blogspot.comMargie M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10310100815284895284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4940532301117802640.post-63808345476641178732010-03-16T19:48:07.518-06:002010-03-16T19:48:07.518-06:00I so struggle with how to indulge with something o...I so struggle with how to indulge with something other than food. But I love what you had to say about stopping, thinking a moment about what you really want (the glass of wine) and honoring that. I need to do that stop and think part.Amy Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14347143994861783676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4940532301117802640.post-84802944120331326612010-03-16T14:38:23.539-06:002010-03-16T14:38:23.539-06:00This was a great post.

LOL.<br />Great job passing on that dessert and relaxing with a glass of wine. I think it helps a lot to actually STOP and THINK instead of automatically say yes... which is what I'm sure a lot of us are used to doing when it comes to food...TinaMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07887169551220353462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4940532301117802640.post-45022485724478915802010-03-16T13:08:46.493-06:002010-03-16T13:08:46.493-06:00Ditto.

It was my bday on the 9th and I think I regressed back to about age 4, where "wanting to pamper myself" consisted of crawling back into a diaper and kicking and screaming (inside only) to have what I wanted which included about half a bday cake along with several other decadent choices. If we really want to be thinner, since when did pampering mean eating half a cake?<br /><br />I think it actually does have a lot to do with childhood and how we handled stress back then and how, now when our buttons are pushed, we go right back to food and then, we call it wanting decadence. As a little kid, I didn't have those exact words, I just knew I wanted what I wanted. And as a 54 year old, I knew that too.<br />I wonder if it ever changes? Dr. Drew would say "You're in your disease." I'm on the cusp of attending OA.Levihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07369763028982948026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4940532301117802640.post-52904057557739190992010-03-16T12:33:52.134-06:002010-03-16T12:33:52.134-06:00Man this post is made of win.

You know, I...Man this post is made of win. Truly.<br /><br />You know, I can relate to this. Because food is my numbing agent. Especially when things are going so fast around me. And I truly ENJOY eating. I love food. But still...<br /><br />I love the fact that your therapist gave you some insight and some suggestions for controlling the triggers.<br /><br />I just know you will turn your ship around and head into the right direction once again! :)<br /><br />~Kellie<br /><br />http://chubbygirldiary.comKelliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15840536814259570544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4940532301117802640.post-68032006986310095102010-03-16T10:52:51.046-06:002010-03-16T10:52:51.046-06:00OMG, this is exactly how I've been feeling thi...OMG, this is exactly how I've been feeling this week. Everything is so up in the air for us right now - I might have a new really cool job, I might not, and it would be in a totally different city that I don't love like this one - and I'm just so blah. I skipped last week's WW and the two before (one of which I was out of town) and I keep telling myself I need to go. I'm so overwhelmed and I totally binged last night. It's exactly what you're saying (and hello, damn THIN MINTS!!!).<br /><br />I really hope this week goes a lot better for you (and me).

Feeling overwhelmed is an enormous trigger for eating crap (for me, anyway!).<br /><br />Do you like how you feel when you run? Even though it sounds counter-intuitive and the last thing you want to do is try to squeeze your runs in, it might be just the thing you need to add some balance. But only if you like how you feel after you do it...when I used to run all the time, I used to feel like anything could happen to me, but I wouldn't care. I felt good, so bring on the s**t.<br /><br />Your workouts can be the new decadence!Ex Yo-Yo Dieter Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10833922126301063523noreply@blogger.com
