    Tell yourself this EVERY day: I'm worth it.

    Repeat as necessary, since you are :)

    If I'm having a hard time I try to keep in mind why I'm doing this. Also I remind myself how I felt physically and mentally if I over endulged and how it's not worth feeling that way.

    Add me! You can message me anytime about anything. I can't guarantee that i'll have the best answers but i'll always reply. No one should feel like there alone. Medication isn't always the best answer, glad your looking for other options.

    I've been in the SAME boat for most of my life! I know what you are feeling, and I would be more than willing to encourage each other! I am about to turn 27, and I have decided that it's time to find happiness, not just for me, but for my kids. If I am not happy, they won't be. YOU are worthy of health and happiness. Tell yourself that every day and believe it. :)

    I don't know if these work or not but this site has foods to eat or avoid to help with anxiety disorder.

    I had really bad anxiety for a long time and never used medications. tell yourself its okay and you are worth it. take your time and focus on you not the outside world. I had to take a step and remember to focus on me its not selfish a better me is better for everyone around me. it takes time, but you are stronger than you realize :)

    I have suffered terrible anxiety, depression, etc over the years. I dealt with a lot of it by eating, and then eating more, and it never made it better. I posted this on my profile this morning " If problems weren't caused by food, they won't be fixed by food. The only thing that is fixed by food is hunger." Whenever I feel I "need" to binge, I repeat this over and over in my head. Ice cream tastes good, but it won't get rid of the pain.

    Good luck, you can do this.

    It sounds stupid but... my advice is... Just keep going.

    When you have negative thoughts, just repeat to yourself. !Stop. I can do this. I can do this".

    You will be okay, you've done so well to lose over a stone, you're on the right track. :smile:
