I'm taking my life back!

TJFreeman

Hi all. I've been a member of this site for quite some time, but not a regularly active member. I have tried weight loss program after weight loss program, only to fail miserably. It isn't because I don't want to lose weight, or because I hate to exercise. I have what is called binge eating disorder. I make excellent food choices throughout the day while I am at work, but I struggle from the minute I walk in the door at home until my husband gets home. He works until late in the evening, so I spend most evenings between 5 p.m. and 9 p.m. alone. It is during this time that I eat everything, and I do mean everything, that I can get my hands on. Not because I'm hungry, but because it is there. I have tried distracting myself with other activities, but quite honestly after I work all day I just want to come home. I tried to replace eating with exercise, but the food is just too powerful. Well NO MORE. Today, I made the conscous decision to beat this disorder and take back control of my life. I know having the support of the other members here will go a long way in helping me. Please wish me luck!
