has started again!!
Hello! I rejoined my weight loss journey just under two weeks ago, with CD this time, instead of LL. MY first week, tho tough, was good and I lost 9lbs.
However, this week has been so very different. I am now able to admit that I (beleive) I am a compulsive eater. One small trigger and I can (and do) eat until I physically feel discomfort &pain, and often I am sick. I literally cannot stop. I am utterly ashamed of myself, but now I find that as I have admitted this to myself I have called a kind of truce. I now want to help myself, and not just lose weight for vanity. I want to have the same relationship with food that most "normal" folks do.
I have just ordered a book called "Why weight?" by Geneen Roth. I wondered if any of you have read this, or any of her other books. If you did, was it helpful? I understand this book has lots of self-help exercises to get through this self loathing, feeding to blank it out stage of my life. I sincerely hope it helps.
Other than that, I have every intetion of getting back onto my CD diet 100% as of tomorrow. Please wish me luck, as I do you!
Sorry to drone on quite so much too!
