Hi!

My name is Lisa - and I’ve been here before..many times. I lose..I gain...I lose...I gain! It affects every part of my life...literally is the ONLY thing I think about all day. Eat this..don’t eat that...Start a new diet...let’s try intuitive eating and haes. There’s got to be more to life than this.
Counting drives me nuts...I feel restricted and binge.yet not counting I let myself go. I have no control.
Help! Anyone been in this boat and gotten through..could use some words of encouragement
Thanks

    Have you tried working on the restraint, and scheduling and eating regular meals?

    Google "what is normal eating?".

    I think it's all to do with your mind set. Reading your story is just like my own. Start... fail... Start... fail... Start...
    I joined Biggest Loser Challenge on MFP and that kept me accountable for a while... until I fail again... but I seem to keep going back to them...
    I also set myself fitness goals, so this year was to complete a half marathon without stopping to walk. That helped. I had a schedule, I kept to it... until I got bored.
    What I'm trying to say is, it's completely normal to feel this way. I've been on MFP for 2.5 years and I always manage to get back to it. I guess eventually my mind will just switch back on again. Mind over matter.

    My husband always says to think about where you would be if you didn't keep starting over....probably in a pretty horrible place. So, maybe you aren't where you want to be, but perseverance counts for something
