Eating Like I'm Scared

like I'm scared that I'll never be able to eat like this again. What the hell is that about anyway?

 

I want to be free from feeling like I must consume everything in sight, that I must have many many many "last" suppers. And yet what does that say about my desire to do well? Like I'll cram it all down my gullet before I can't anymore, rather than beginning now, claiming now as the best time to start eating right and taking care of myself.

 

I see now that this an emotional journey as well as a physical one.

To me every emotion is tied to food. I celebrate, go out for a meal, right down to having comfort food when I'm down...... And yeah, I'm eating like I'll never eat again, well, I won't, LIKE I am at the moment. Last supper, breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea, and snacks. I'm even getting fed up with myself. I don't know how much I've put on, because I won't get on the scales, but I feel the extra weight. So yeah, it is emotional, you're so right Nancy. But you know we'll get there, so many other people have before us, I've been reading their stories, and found that they've been through all that we are going through. And there will be others behind us too. Getting their inspiration from us. Good luck to you.

I ate so much before being banded that I made myself sick. Fast forward 13 months and thisclose to goal and who cares about eating to excess...I look great and feel so much better than I did last year. Once you see results, you will feel the same way.

luckyknickers57 - oh hon, don't be so hard on you. Take small steps, walk a bit, eat one good meal, and then two and then three. I'm in your corner!
