Enablers...

Options
Do you have enablers? They are your family, friends, coworkers, and even your workout buddies.

My enablers include my mom and my S/O. They love me and they "support" me, but they never tell me no.
I know how to tell myself no but when those full throttle cravings kick in...I need someone to slap it out of me.
I feel like my family and friends just do not help my situation. No one knows the pain of a food addict unless they are one themselves.

Watching your loved ones scarf down lasagna, spaghetti, meatloaf, chili, fried chicken, Chinese food...etc...while you are eating a Lemongrass Chicken Lean Cuisine....is PAINFUL!

I am my own support system and motivator, and after a while....it isn't enough.

Moral is...I am here to offer my support and motivation to anyone in the same situation as myself. In hopes that it is given in return.

Thanks for reading! Feel free to add me!

    I think that very nearly everyone I've met at MFP can identify with you on some level. I won't "slap it out" but I will be here for you as an ally. Friend me if you wish.
