I Love Food!

I love food, and apparently food loves me. The fact is too much of a good thing is just not good, and too much of a bad thing can only be destructive. Dealing with my weight has been and will be a lifelong process. However, sometimes I just do NOT want to deal with it. Sometimes life gets so crazy; I have to ask myself what I am doing this for. Sometimes I can think of nothing but eating. It can consume me! That sounds awful, but it's true. This doesn't make me less a person. It makes me a true person being honest with myself. To date I have loss well over 100 pounds with more to go. The weight loss was not all downhill and immediate. I have made major changes in my diet and routine. I face controversy from some people, who have other issues. I feel pressure from others who really need me to be strong for them, and I am really trying. Sometimes, I don't feel strong for myself and problems arise. Food is such a comfort for daily stress. I can slip back so easily at times and eat galore. People say to me, "You looking so good". I just wish I could control my inner most emotions, and then much of my food habits would follow. I am taking this one day at a time. I would love to hear from others. We do need to talk about these issues!

Yes, I love food, too! I have been a yo-yo dieter for the past 27 years. I do a lot of binge eating. I eat for comfort. I've been struggling lately because I've been sick and my husband been ill and I've fallen off of my wellness plan. I logged back onto MFP for the first time in a month just this week. I have been too ashamed to keep track of my food consumption but I thought if I came on the message boards I might get the inspiration to keep track again.0
