BIG FAT PEOPLE!

  • Popular Post

Did I get your attention??? :P

Ok, curiosity... when I answer posts here, I am always coming from a perspective of a "food addict"

But many times I have people write back...

"But I don't have an addiction to food"

Which I always think to myself YEAH RIGHT!

Don't beat me up I'm being honest!!

What can I say I'm pessimistic, I also laugh when people say they don't eat TO MUCH so they don't understand how the are fat.. I AM FAT BECAUSE I EAT LIKE A PIG (alone mostly)

Today I thought about, "what if I'm wrong?"

I mean...I am me and I am addicted, how do I know how the next person is???

I'm curious as an addicted fat person how is it for those of you who are not addicted?

Oh and on a side note if I am wrong, then I'm also jealous because I would give anything not to have this problem (addiction)

    If they aren't addicted why do they allow it to happen? If you didnt eat too much or the wrong things and youre aware you are getting fat.. Why not just stop? If you lost all your weight why turn back

My attempt to lift this from a dark place...

I think I matched all 7 leading indicators 11 months ago so means I am still a raving food addict. Gotta make it 1 more month...

I just posted this in another thread about Easter...

One week after Easter!!! I thought I made it through scot free. No such luck! I just got back from my mother in laws house I had to go drop off the dog because we are going camping tomorrow... Well right before I leave she hands two Easter "bags" full of candy for the kids AND

Another bag for my husband and I "if I wish to partake" she said. Lord above help me Cadbury eggs and chocolate Bordeaux Eggs!!!

The agony! The temptation! I need to be strong but being strong has always been my weak point.

Oh and did I mention I'm PMSing (and going camping great combo)

What the heck? Why on earth would she tempt you in that way when she should know better. Frustrates me reading that. Grrr. I would get them out of sight as not to be tempting. Some people just do not understand...and she is family no less. I am going to give Fyre permission to go after her. Lol.

..... but being strong has always been my weak point.

Somehow I really doubt this..... :)

Haha.. Fiddle I think it's my week to be tested! Yesterday with "psycho donuts" today with chocolate eggs! I feel nervous about this camping trip I will be out of my "routine" and there will be many temptations (s'mores anyone)

On a side note. Some people after this surgery can't stand sweets now, not me.

And some people throw up after eating to much, I read it everyday here. I've never thrown up, I feel defective in that way! I want the automatic emergency evacuation method that others have if they f**k up! :P

Have you ever wondered if you ate enough maybe you could slime or throw up?? I mean maybe we are not doing it right! :P

I do get full if I eat at bite or two to much I get miserably full, but that's it!

Yeah, got the same problem. Never have gotten the slimes and can eat what ever, including chocolate. The kids got candy for Easter from their mom, but they have been good about keeping it out of sight when they are at my house. My little one gave me 2 m&ms because here daddy needed some Easter candy too...she's awesome and they were yummy....

Omg me too!! I had one of the newbie thoughts "omg they didn't take out enuf of my stomach! I should be "sliming"" :P

I've had my tummy feel full, like gross full from one too many bites also but never felt like throwing up! Weird.....

Sounds like you, John and I are a few of the "lucky" ones that never had these issues!!

Oh and "dumping" no dumping here! :P

Although a lot of the people who throw up sound like they get dry heaves for hours and stuff like that--sounds pretty awful...
