    Oh, I feel your pain.

    I can't offer a quick fix or any good words of advice. Just know that you're not alone. And one day, when your brain and your body and your emotions are ready, you'll be able to control it.

    Don't give up.

    Can I ask where you are getting this food from?
    Fast food or from home?

    You have to get control of yourself...

    I've learned this with my addiction to food, alcohol, and tobacco.

    Find friends to support you, friends that you can turn to. Get a hobby, mine is reading.




    Put your big girl pants on, and get it in check.

    I too am sitting here tonight frustrated with myself. I will do really well for several days and then blow it. I am obviously not the person to be giving advice but I can offer some encouragement... Your efforts are not in vain. Think about all of the good choices you make every day. Don't give up, hang in there and keep on plugging along. At least you are aware of what you need to do. Tomorrow is another day!

    I can relate. I found myself in my pantry many times throughout the day just grabbing a little snack here and there. On top of that I have two kids that have two snacks a day and sometimes they really want things like goldfish. I know if may not be much of an eye opener but the logging really helped me. I remind myself before I eat anything I am going to have to log it and then I can't have anything later that day. I always want a little something good at night.

    Once I started losing weight, it was a big motivator to stop the senseless snacking. I do not cut anything completely out of my diet either so I can still enjoy things in moderation.

    I had lower back pain, and I went to doctors for help, and it never helped. My sister then said to go to a chiropractor, and I did.
    It was a miracle!! He cracked and click and said that one hip was lower than the other, and rotated forward, that was what was causing my sciatica, lower back pain and that. Maybe go see one if you havent already.
