I just couldn't do it. It was a phobia I developed as part of all the other issues.<BR/><BR/>That's when I truly realized how focused our society is on food and how all activities seem to involve eating. Trying to come up with excuses for not eating around other people wore me out. Everyone expects you to eat if they're eating.Big Pissyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11024226667518288383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17159042.post-76158816159600169882007-03-20T22:37:00.000-04:002007-03-20T22:37:00.000-04:00oooh..oooohhh..ooooohhhhCONGRATS ON LOSING 100LBS!...oooh..oooohhh..ooooohhhh<BR/>CONGRATS ON LOSING 100LBS!!<BR/>you are my hero!wmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13134588850017094604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17159042.post-23788852289218471552007-03-20T22:29:00.000-04:002007-03-20T22:29:00.000-04:00What I find amazing is the intense amount of self-...What I find amazing is the intense amount of self-hate I can muster up for myself when I cheat on my diet. I tell myself not to eat a certain food, and it seems like I am powerless to stop myself sometimes...and then, after eating, I mentally beat myself into a pulp!! Being overweight is sooooooooo much more than what size you are, or what diet you do or dont do...it is a psychological nightmare, thats what it is!wmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13134588850017094604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17159042.post-75576026264317634672007-03-20T21:25:00.000-04:002007-03-20T21:25:00.000-04:00I find myself thinking about foods I can't eat any...I find myself thinking about foods I can't eat anymore and then thinking is it really worth it?

So much of our lives are evolved around it, so you are faced with this almost every moment but alcohol is'nt everywhere, not to the extent of food is.<BR/>Alcolhol is a drug, food is a necessity. <BR/>Good luck sweetie.<BR/>tcAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17159042.post-9404369756790942312007-03-20T18:23:00.000-04:002007-03-20T18:23:00.000-04:00I feel the being addicted to food is just like alc...I feel the being addicted to food is just like alcohol and cigarettes in that you will always need to be on your guard for the rest of your life. Someone that has smoked can so easily slip back into it 10 years after quiting.<BR/><BR/>What you said about it being different then alcohol is so true. You have no choice but to eat and you will always be tempted. Alcohol you can just not put yourself in that situation as much as possible and be on your best behavior to not slip. With eating, you should probably be doing that between 3 and 6 times a day. How can you stop thinking about food when you can not get away from it.<BR/><BR/>I almost can not think of a way to reward myself with it involving food. It is just part of our society. What is a wedding without the reception and so on and so on. You so hit it on the head with this post.

Our culture is built around food in the US and Jewish culture even more so. <BR/><BR/>But I agree with Ted about staying in the moment. It is just too overwhelming if I have to think about all the protein I have to eat for the rest of my life, esp. with the nausea, which is, unfortunately, back.<BR/><BR/>*S*Team Kittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09846930687749190758noreply@blogger.com
