You guys have no idea how much I need this wake up call. I really appreciate the comments and I think I'm off to a pretty good start. I'm starting out with small steps by trying minimally processed as possible foods, more fruits and veggies, chicken or meat for the protein, no fast food so far (it has been 3 days), tracking my calories and using my weight watchers app to track my daily counts, and really attempting to listen to what my body is telling me. I want to get to the point where I'm eating for nutritional purposes, not because I'm bored or I like the flavor. Is there a taste bud removal surgery?? JK!
I do recognize that I am a food addict and this is not going to be easy. I realize this now at least. The first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem...I'm trying. I really want to go to group counseling or even an Overeaters Anonymous meeting. Have any of you gone to any of these types of meetings and is it worth going? I am also going to look into professional therapy, maybe cognitive behavorial therapy or even hypnosis or accupuncture. Anyone try these?
Please do not stop talking to me! I need you guys I need your encouragement and support and I need you to kick me in the butt probably a lot of times. Don't forget about me and visit me again please.
Worst Case Senario!
