Hi Everyone...I've never had to struggle with weight issues...but I have struggled with other addictions...so I've come to the realization I have substituted one addiction for another. I know I have a huge problem with emotional eating...and have also found I can stick to a healthy diet on most days. However it's night time eating that has me stuck on stupid (for lack of a better phrase. Everything in my closet is a size 4 or 6...but now....I'm lucky if I can squeeze into an 8 or a10 regular. My eating habits are typical of an addictive personality. I want what I want and I want it immediately...which is nothing but my need for instant gratification...this food addiction is very real and if I don't address the underlying issues I'll soon be wearing a 12 or 14. I hope I haven't offended anyone as beauty comes in all shapes and sizes...but for me...I want to fit into my 4's and 6's again. The depression (that accompanies being overweight...for me anyway...is eating away at my self confidence. I just turned 53 and while I'm constantly told I look younger...my body feels like I'm much older...with weight related issues of high BP and basic self esteem. I hope there's at least one person reading this who can identify. Maybe if I made some exercise buddies we could battle this issue together. My user name is Bostonslim 36 and TY in advance for any and all replies.
