Again!?!
I was doing well, lost 8 Lbs. Last 2 days seem to be out of control again. Why do I mess it up when I'm doing well? Does any one else do this? any ideas how to catch it and stop it? I need to get my A1c down but I seem to be my own worse enemy.

Stressss
I have a fairly simple life but due to certain circumstances I get stressed easily. My go-to is food. I am trying to replace the sweets with fruit but gave in yesterday. I don't feel shameful or guilty about it though. I see it as learning a trigger and being aware of what is going on. I need a new go-to.

How to feel happy
This is just something to think about. How do you feel happy? Not when this or that happens, but just as things are happening? As I continue to plow ahead in my ED recovery, I find stopping ED behaviors far easier than healing my thoughts, dreams, wants... I continue to have thoughts of when I run a certain distance, or…

I eat when I'm bored or in front of tv
Hi, I eat when I'm bored, or when I'm watching tv...Its kind an unconscious sort of eating. I quit smoking over 6 years ago, and I think I might have replaced one habit for the other.

Here's a strange one for ya
Through years of counselling, I've come to a kinda weird realization. I am afraid to lose weight. As a child, if I wasn't being ignored, I was being belittled. This continued into my young adulthood. As a result, I gained a massive amount of weight. People couldn't ignore me any more. In the process, I developed a nasty…

Family ties and tears
Whoa. Doing well with food (well way better than I would have here with family). But lots of emotions. My mom is complicated, puts us all on edge. Friday was ok and my son looked great. Friday night he slept terribly and that threw off his fragile system (he has stomach issues). That derailed us all and things got slightly…

Keto, hormones, and emotions
Feeling discouraged. I've been doing keto for 43 days now and lost 9lbs but then started getting intense hunger and sugar/carb cravings, which I think is hormonal, but nonetheless intense. Now I'm gaining weight everyday. I'm up 2-3 lbs. I'm discouraged, tired of the keto foods, and irritated I can't have carbs. Super…

Constant cravings.
Is it only me who gets constant cravings for stuff they can't have, then feel depressed because they can't have it. Then have the will power to not have it for someone to go and say 'oh go on its only a slice of pizza' GRR. So you eat the slice (that the skinny person told you to eat) feel like crap and eat more.. vicious…
