OK...I have basically been maintaining my weight HOWEVER after the past week or so of festivities I have gained back 6 pounds from candy.:noway:

I can not control myself. If it is in the house I eat it....:sick:

ESPECIALLY when....

I fall asleep on the couch and wake up to go to my bed. It is like there is another person that comes out and has to eat because I pass thru the kitchen.

I can hear the rational part of me inside my head SCREAMING...DONT EAT, but I can not help myself...it is like an alter ego that eats away!!!!!:devil:

HELP ME!!!!

    I know how you feel. I get possessed every once in a while too. You just have to take control. And not let your self do it. You know it's wrong. The healthy you just needs to win. As for your 6 pounds. You will probably find that the majority of it is retained water, that will go away with a couple of days of healthy eating and water drinking.

    THROW THE CANDY AWAY. GIVE IT AWAY. JUST GET IT AWAY!

    6 pounds is, what, 21,000 calories? That's about 105 candy bars, or 15 full sized bars a day. It's got to be water weight. Drink water and it will come back off.

    Oh I so feel for you. There is a monster that comes out in the middle of the night. I ate so much freaking candy in the middle of the night it is disgusting. But it's ok I'm gonna turn on the tv and do some extra workouts today.

    If you don't eat in the middle of the night I wont. Hows that sound?

    I have reluctantly been tracking the calorie intake. Honestly, I have been eating about 3K plus calories a day because of the candy factor and alcohol.

    That is so BAD!!!

    I wish I could put an electric fence around the kitchen at night to shock myself when I attempt to eat.

    I have already called two of my friends to go for a walk this morning and then again this afternoon.

    We will see...one day at a time. Thanks for the support!
