It's that time of year where it is all about getting together and eating! What is the big surprise about that anyway.. Whenever anyone gets together, I don't care who you are... eating is usually involved!! So how in the heck do you mange this when, you are not happy with how you look, and feel... I once was about 90 lbs bigger than I am now! 90 give or take a few lbs. It has been about 4 years since I lost all the weight and I did it by attending a support group called CEA-HOW - Compulsive Eaters Anonymous - I can't remember what HOW stands for?
Through this group I learned that I am a compulsive eater... Food I thought at one time was my BEST FRIEND.. imagine how stupid I felt when I found out that food was not my friend!! Go ahead and laugh.. but I felt pretty dumb.. it was like the mean girl at school had been fooling me all this time and then I found out she had been talking about me behind my back doing and saying mean things about me to make me look bad to others!! I went through all the emotions... denial, sad, mad and finally acceptance, maybe not in that order and I'm sure I left a stage out and there were several repeats of a stage.. I guess I should say it was a process.. LOL!!
Anyway that was then and this is now.. and one thing I learned from group is be in the NOW!! So right now I'm feeling kinda bad about all the crap I have eaten over the past few days!! YIKES!! So NOW I have to focus on being good and stop eating bad for me stuff... right after Christmas? right? RIGHT!!! Will it never end? YES IT WILL...... Be BRAVE!!!
