I have finally admitted it. Yes I have an addiction to food. It is my stabalizer, my emotional crutch, my comfort and my downfall. I am 5'4" and weigh currently 192 (down from 198.) I have never liked being fat, although I don't want to be thin. About two years ago I lost 40 pounds and weighed 169. I loved it! I was still big but I felt so good about myself, not to mention I had energy and felt great physically! So that is my goal. I don't really care about the pounds. I care about how I feel about myself and the inches around my waist. The first steps in the process were:
1) Finding this site (THANK YOU!!)
2) creating a daily journaling of what I eat, and it gets written down as I am eating so I don't make mistakes or forget (been doing it for a week now)
3) I ordered a book about overeating and the compulsion and emotional things behind it (still waiting for that to arrive)
4)Getting back into working out (I miss going to the gym but it does get boring for me any suggestions on how to "not get bored" are appreciated!)
The goals I have set for myself are:
1) Eat when I am hungry and only when I am hungry!
2) lose inches (size 12 by January 07)
3) save up money to treat myself to the tummy tuck and breast lift after I have acheived goal #2
So it begins.......

I think most Americans are food addicts. Why else would there be so much money spent on diets each year? :) As for not getting bored, I like to read through fitness magazines and get ideas from their trainers. I'm pretty frugal, so I've found that the best way to do this without subscribing to 10 different magazines is to visit the library and make copies of the stuff that interests you. This way you can pin up the workouts for a reference if needed and you save cash. I personally like Fitness: Mind Body Spirt, and Fitness RX because they feature toning moves you can do at home, in the park or anywhere really, where as Shape has a lot more advice for gym goers. Take care!

Start - Thanks Krystin for your input! I will def have to check out some mags!!
Well, For the most part I did REALLY well yesturday. I spent 7 hours cleaning the entire house (yeah me!). This is a big accomplishment for the shear fact that I am so drained all the time, I have been wanting to do it but could never muster up the UMPH to do it. So I have a clean house. I was really proud of my self as far as eating yesturday. I ate only when hungry. And then came dinner, with a trip out for pizza. I ate 5 breadsticks and two slices of pizza. I was full after two of each. But the breadsticks were so good. But I wont feel guilty because when I feel guilty I give in all the way to feeling bad, which comes with binging. So ..
This morning I woke up, I was hungry after a while of being awake. I had the choice of sweetrolls with icing or Life cereal. I really wanted the Life I am not sure why I went for the sweetrolls. Talk about feeling sick. Still 4 hours later and I can feel them in the back of my throat. Note to self...no matter how good something "sounds" go with what you want.
So I am off, to listen to my body tell me when it is hungry!

Welcome- I hope you are able to find it within yourself to do what you feel is right:). Good luck. Go easy on yourself. Here are some tips I have read and some I follow. Maybe they will help you.
1. Exercise- At the beginning of each week I look at my schedule (which is crazy busy) and write down what I will do each day and what days I will take off because my schedule is too busy that day. I allow myself two off days. I do something different each day. I do not belong to a gym so I rotate between videos, walking, exercise machines I have at home, and biking. If I know ahead of time what I am going to do and when I am going to do it, I am less likely to make excuses and skip the exercise. I keep the list on the frig and cross them off each day after I complete them.
2. Eat a snack (an apple, cucumber, or other low calorie item) and a drink full glass of water 20 minutes before a meal, especially if you are going out to eat.
3. Allow yourself one meal a week where you eat whatever you want without ANY guilt. When you are feeling tempted, remind yourself that you are going out for whatever on whatever night. It helps keep me in line.
4. When the emotions are coming on and you feel like eating, write in your journal about your feelings rather than eat to comfort yourself.
I am not sure if any of this will help you but I have found that they work for me. Good luck, keep the faith in yourself. You can and will do this!

| Why do you assume you'll need that tummy tuck and breast lift before you're finished losing body fat, and why would you consider it a treat when it's risky and painful? Wouldn't it be better to just keep going and see the final results of the natural solution before you decide? I'm the first person to say do whatever helps you feel better about yourself, but I think Extreme Makeover and other shows have created this perceived necessity around plastic surgery.

I know I will still need the TT and BL after because I have seen my body at a lower weight. I never loose the roll around the middle, no matter how far I get down. After having a few consultations and exams I know that my stomache muscles bend out like so () instead of being like so ||, which in turn makes my mucle fall into my sides. I am not doing this now to loose wieght or fat so much, but to gain control of my eating habbits. I will admit I would love to loose some in the process, but more so I want to regain control of when my body is hungry and not to have the self-destructive behavior that comes along with my binging ect.
The breast lift I know I need. I have had stretch marks since I first began to develop and they only got worse as I gained and lost poundage. The doctor explained to me that women are born with a certain thing in there breasts (can't remember the term) that once you begin lactating (as you do with every pregnancy) you loose those and that is why breasts loose their firmness. I am not doing the BL for size but so that I don't have to wear 5 pound bras to lift me for the rest of my life.
I admit I want the surgeries purely for my own self esteem. I see them as a "treat" because in the past with working out I could firm up my arms, loose the fat in my thighs but those two areas never changed. So instead of getting discouraged as I have in the past, I have allowed myself to know that once I am "healthy" in my mind and comfortable with my size then I will be able to fix those areas.
I do not find it neccessary to have plastic surgery, although I did undergo Lasik Eye surgery this past March, and to be honest without my glasses on I feel better about myself. I also love being able to see 24/7 without any help. So to me this is no different.
Thanks for your input!

So I have been sick since Sunday, flu-like symptons and the more I think about it, I am really going through a withdrawl on some meds I am taking. I forgot to refill them so I went three days without. Symptoms seem the same as what I have read up on concerning the drugs. So I refilled and started taking them and feeling a tad bit better.
What I don't get is when I am sick and not hungry (not to mention having tummy troubles) I still eat. I actually force myself to eat kinda like 'If I eat then I can't be but so sick' weird mentality I have. Anyways I ate three meals yesturday, and popcorn last night. Then today I had a bowl of cereal and 2 slices of toast for breakfast, at about 10 ish when i got out of bed. Then around noon i had the same thing over again. I wasn't hungry just the life cereal was calling out to me so I ate it. I still have not been hungry yet today.
Overall, I have been pretty proud of myself with this new eating thing I am trying. When I get ready to eat (with today as an exception) I ask myself are you hungry. If I say no then I don't eat. I have never experienced that will power before. Interesting.

| Honey, If the Life was calling out to you, even though you were sick, your body was most likely trying to tell you that you needed to eat......At Least The Chocolate Cake Wasn't Calling Out To You!! So maybe you could consider that to be a victory? I would! I am glad you are seeking out a lifestyle change, it will make a huge difference in the way you see yourself. Taking charge of your own physical health can be soooo good for your mental health as well, it makes you feel good about yourself!! :D Why don't you look up Mama Bear and her weekly challanges on this site? We are all new to this, her challanges give us all a chance to join together to help ourselves. It also helps when we know we are not alone in our journey. Take care!!!

Ok, so I had a good day as far as eating. I ate a package of oatmeal and an english muffin for breakfast. I had a cucmber for a mid-morning snack and popcorn for lunch (didnt take anything - bad me!) I had a bowl of cereal when I got home, I was hungry! Then I went to dinner with the man and had a little bit of salad, I took a breadstick but I was full and never touched it. I do have to admit that I kind of slipped tonight though. I had ice-cream even though I wasn't hungry and I am paying for it right now  I know why I ate it, some emotional disturbances in my world. I did however let it fill my need and before I got through half of the bowl I carried it down for my BF to finish it off. So I am not feeling as #%@&! as I possibly could be.
I have been doing this whole eat when I am hungry thing since July 14, 2 weeks tomorrow. Not fairing so bad so far. I feel a little better, a little slimmer. I am not having as many fat days as I used to (in fact I can't think of when exactly I had my last one.) I have not lost weight, but I think I am ok with that for now. I know that my main goal is to control my eating, not letting my eating control me. So as long as I keep that in mind, I know I can do it.

Another long boring day at work. For some reason we are feast or famin. Who woulda thunk it with database design/programming?
Anyways to the subject at hand I have to say I am quite proud of ME! I started my breakfast this morning with two toasted poptarts. I ate the first and kinda sat back and asked myself
'Self...are you still hungry?' and you know what I honestly answered myself. I ate only one poptart and wrapped the other for later. About 30 mins later I had hunger spasms. I didn't give in and realized they were false (I know there are false labor pains so why not false hunger?), I never did go back to that poptart until.... About noonish I ate my salad for lunch, was rather disappointed with it so I went for the second poptart. If I don't remember anything from today this is what I need to keep in mind. Never ever ever go for a poptart that was heated up and set aside for a few hours. YUCK~! So needless to say I had three bites and threw it out. I then came home and not having spaghetti o's that I really wanted, I had some chips and dip. I stopped myself when full. I am however wanting a bowl of ice cream. I am also full full full. So i am managing to stay clear of it.
Did I mention I weighed myself this morning?? One more pound to my first goal!!

Well I didn't really want to post about yesturday becuase of how much I ate but I refuse to feel ashamed. I made informed decisions and knew what I was doing so here goes...
For breakfast I had 2 poptarts, I was slightly hungry but not much, I kept eating becuase I had the shakes really bad yesturday (not completely over being sick). I then had my FAVORITE sub in the whole world (just remembering it makes my mouth water!) and I knew I should have eaten only half of it, but well I ate the whole thing telling myself it was ok, I had done well all week and well it is the best tasting thing I ever eat! I then went to dinner with my sister who was in town for a night. I was not hungry at all (stomache still yucky). So we had an apatizer of cheese fries. I did not eat as many as I usually do and I had no issue with leaving alot of them left on the plate. I also had a salad, which is what I really wanted. You know it is sad the only reason I like cheese fries is because I can put ketchup on them. If I could figure out a way to mix ketchup into salad I would be good to go! I am a ketchup freak I admit it. We then went to a bar, and being the DD I had one Smirnoff Ice and watched her the rest of the night.
So overall it wasn't as bad as I usually would have eaten in my pre-hunger days. And I never felt overly stuffed so moving on!Last edited on 31 July 2005 07:11 pm by tatu_me

So yesterday I went the whole day without being hungry, but of course that did not stop me from eating. I started with a cold piece of French Toast (no syrup) and then had two Peanut Butter cookies my mom made. YUMMMMMMMMY. Then about 8:00 last night I had a bowl of ice cream. What a healthy day I tell you *eye roll*
Last night I did something though not sure it will help encourage me or not, but it was interesting none the less. I had taken a picture of my fat belly and then edited to a slim waistline. I then printed both the made over and the real me on the same sheet and hung it on my mirror. I am hoping that will encourage me to get there. Wow what a difference in those two pictures! Now all I have to do is see if I can make it happen in real life! I think in a month I will take another picture and see how it measures up to that first one. Kinda scary how big I actually am without sucking in my gut, or having my fat rolls tucked into my jeans (yes I actually tuck them in).

Yesterday I ate 2 pieces of French Toast, Mac and Cheese, Ice Cream, and 2 breadsticks...oh and the crust of a piece of my nephews pizza. I have got to find some way to kick the ice cream habit. It made me full for the rest of the day, but also sluggish.
Today I had (deep breath)1 pop tart, 1 cucumber, 2 cups mac & cheese, one slice of pizza, and then a sit down dinner of green beans, cucumbers, rice and gravy, 2 biscuits and then topped it off with ice cream. I know that at dinner I was not hungry but I really wanted to sit down with my family for dinner and well I wanted to eat so I did. Big no-no I know. And once again, I have got to find some way to kick the ice cream habit!!
Today I think was more emotional eating than anything. I am waiting for some test results back and even though I know everything is fine, it kinda puts me on edge. Sounds like an excuse even to myself SHEESH! I have to watch that. Especially since I have made my first goal as of this morning!!!! So I set my next goal and am on the way - right after I work out :)

Well I honestly think I did well today. Although I am feeling kinda sluggish after dinner. I started the morning off with one poptart. I used to have two, but then one day I only had room for one so now I just toast one so there is no temptation. I know that if I am still hungry after the first one I can always eat another. I have done well so far listening to my body instead of my taste buds with the poptarts. I then had 2 cucumbers when I was hungry abuot 1 1/2 hours later. I wasn't sure if I was still hungry so I put the third one away and went for a walk, ok I went to smoke a cigarette. Then I realized that yes I was still hungry so I bought a salad (YUMMY) I sat down and thought I was ravenous. I ate maybe 1/2 if that. I sat for a few moments and let myself "rest" to realize I was full. So away went the salad. No talking myself into eating the rest because it was there, or becuase it tasted good, or because it was healthy so it was ok. Then I needed to munch. I admit I was not hungry, had no gum and I needed to chew on something, so I popped some popcorn (30 calories for a whole bag) and munched away. Then for dinner I had three slices of pizza, one too many I think. BUT I said no to ice-cream, even sat and watched the BF and son eat it. Yea me!!!
I am feeling better about my body lately. Not so weighed down feeling, I feel as if I can suck in my stomache again, which I love being able to do. I really hope I can make a go of it this time. That is the main reason I am doing this in steps. I think after a few more months I will have and feel cmfortable with the ability to know when I am hungry and not just eat out of habit. I even turned down a Hostess cupcake today! I just wasn't hungry, trust me I stood around for a whole five minutes trying to talk my body into givning me a tummy rumble. Couldn't do it!

Well I don't think I ate the greatest today. I missed breakfast , I had a doctors appt. So I got to work about 11 ish and had stopped at Subway to grab lunch first. I bought a whole sub and then I ate the whole sub and some doritoes but not the whole bag I didn't get hungry again until I was almost home, so instead of a snack I waited for dinner, and ate around 6pm. I had a serving of spaghetti and 2 pieces of bread. Not to bad I guess, just a 'Full' day. Once again, I have managed to avoid the ice cream monster in me!
When I got on the site tonight I decided to add up my daily calorie intake for once. It averaged about 1600 for the day. Then I got curious as to what the calculator would say my daily burn would be. I averaged at about 3000 (I added my pedometer cals into it as well for the daily walking I do) With those numbers I had a negative of 1400 calories today???!!!!???? Am I doing this right? Sheesh, this is hard lol. I did post above what the calculator told me was my calorie burn on a normal day and another post asking others what their average is. I am hoping for any feedback really just to see if I have lost my mind somewhere, or accidentally added something wrong. Oh well.
I did like the Dr's office scale this morning. I know that sounds obsurd. But I weighed in at 188.3 Not bad considering I was pushing 200 a month or so ago. I know I know water weight...let me have my frills here :P

It's a little hard interpreting the above list since you didn't copy the totals... sorry, I don' t have time to add it up.
But it it's a full 24 hours, be sure you don't add anything to it. That would be misleading as the calculations include all the calories you are burning for the time represented.
And of course it's all just rough estimates...

| OOPS! the above was about 2494, then I realized I forgot undressing, and brushing teeth at night ect. But I added the 2494 with the 450 that I got from "walking" daily . So that is my approx 3000. But you are saying it IS a realistic estimate? I know it only added up to about 21 hours or so. But I could not for the life of me figure out what I did the rest of the day (unless it is spent walking to and from stuff). Thanks for the response Peter!

I have been amazed to receive letters from people who have used my calculators to calculate every calorie they ate or burned over many months and their weight loss was right on. We are all so different... that's why I say it's amazing.
The only way to know how accurate the calories burned calculations are for you would be to keep track of calories eaten and burned for a period of time and see.
I've never done this and rarely have counted calories at all. But there were times when I was trying to learn to eat well that doing so was very helpful.

Yesturday I didn't do too badly, I ate about 1780 calories worth of food, but considering I went out to eat last night it could have been oh so much worse. I didn't eat the whole calzone ;)
Today was bad. And I do mean bad. I consumed approx. 2330 calories. What makes it worse was that about 1500 calories of that came one large tub of popcorn at the movie theater today, which by the way they put so much butter and salt on has made me sick blech! I really don't care for it all that much on my popcorn you think I would learn right? Nah not me. So anyways....
Maybe after I am done on here I will do my workout. Maybe....

Well it happened, my first binge since starting this eating when hungry thing. Here are my excuses for it. Last night I had to go to a sleep observation clinic/study thing. This meant NO CAFFEINE all day long. I barely stay awake and focused as it is. Take away my cappachino in the morning and my diet pepsi during the day and I am kinda just a walking thing. So I decided what better thing to focus on then food...of course I knew what I was doing but I just couldn't stop myself so that resulted in 2150 calories eaten yesturday. Why do I consider that a bing? I had 2 packages of oatmeal, 6 caramel candies, 1/2 small bag of doritoes (the 25cents size), 1 hoho, 1 peanutbutter chocolate thing, 1 hostess cupcake, 1 cup of rice, 1 bowl of soup and 2 biscuits. Talk about feeling retched! I drank lots of water last night with my soup and after in an attempt to make myself feel better (physically). It worked to a certain extent.
Today I did better but was still pretty high on the calories. About 2046.2 Without all the #%@&! food though. I did eat good stuff and only when hungry. So I am not going to be harsh on myself due to the calorie intake.
According to the calculators I still had a loss of about 700 calories per day. Whats weird is today I had a "thin" day, I mean I actually felt good today about my body. I am kind of interested to se what I weigh in at tomorrow morning. Part of me says don't do it - but i know i will!

Well today was a good day. I was not as tired as I usually am and was in a pretty good mood all day. I think it might have something to do with the fact that my work load has increased and I am actually using my brain for something!
My food intake today was a 16oz capachino, 1 package oatmeal, pasta roni (2 cups approx), 1/2 twinkie (my son shared since they were my favorite! what a sweet kid) and a bowl of ice cream. This came to be about 1700 calories for the day. Higher than what I am going for but less than what I would have eaten a month or so ago. The majority of those calories came from the ice cream. 500 was my approximate guess for that. 1/2 cup of ice cream is 120 calories and then 1 tbsp of butterscotch on top is about 100 calories. I had about 3 cups of ice cream and 3 tbsp of topping. Dang, I just realized i underestimated. My ice cream by that statement was 1020 calories in itself!!! I could be wrong about the size of the portions but I dont think I am. Dang dang dang! so I really had about 2215......shoot. Well oh well. It is done and over....
I did weigh myself this morning and I have not moved on the scale so it seems. BUT this is ok since I am on my period and usually gain about 5 pounds for three days then. I have not had that weight gain or bloating since I started this journey. I have actually felt better then I have in a long time...good enough to maybe go to the gym? Maybe tomorrow night? Gosh, I would be impressed with myself if I did that!

Well I think it has been about 5 days since my last post. I think I am def. falling off the wagon. I am still trying to hang on though. I am still eating less than before, but I have kinda forgetten to ask myself if I am hungry before I eat. And when I do eat I want nothing but ice-cream! The good news there though is that I can't make it through a full bowl like I used to. I have not changed in my weight at all, but I do fit a few more clothes than I did before. I still wont wear them out due to them being way too tight, but I can get them button/zipped which has not happened in months. But then I had a button fly off a pair off pants this morning - yup those didnt fit yet!
I can't seem to get up the umph for excercise though. I want to but then I think about trying to fit the gym in and have no desire to go, much less fit it into my schedule. Especially with school starting next week. I know I need to start the way I did years ago which was doing stupid fun excercises before bedtime while watching Law & Order or something!
I have been reading this book about compulsive eating, I identify with alot of it but one thing keeps sticking in my mind. In the book the author says alot of overweight women sabotage themselves, becuase being overweight gives them a reason for failure. Whether it be at relationships, meeting someone new, ect. I guess that bothers me because it might be true about myself. I did like beiong smaller, but I think that I am also a little afraid of being thinner. I guess I am curious what my motivations are for wanting to loose weight (as well as what others motivations are). I think it bothers me that mine are simply for superficial reasons such as wearing smaller clothes, wearing more "exposing" clothing to be able to show off my best features which are my tattoos and chest. I know I feel better physically when I weigh less, more energy and all that but I am having such a hard time get the motivation going. I am going to have to find it and soon.

I FULLY UNDERSTAND WHERE YOU ARE COMMING FROM.
THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH WANTING TO TO LOSE WEIGHT TO LOOK BETTER.
WHEN YOU LOOK GOOD YOU FEEL GOOD AND WHEN YOU FEEL GOOD YOU WANT TO KEEP FEELING GOOD. SO MAYBE YOU CAN USE THAT AS ONE OF THE THINGS TO MOTIVATE YOU. AS FAR AS GETTING TO THE GYM, YOU NEED TO MAKE TIME TO GO.
IT DOES NOT MATTER WHEN YOU EXCERCISE AS LONG AS YOU DO!
ANY AMOUNT IS BETTER THAN NONE AT ALL.
I AM IN RICHMOND WHERE R U?

**Sigh** making time, I know I need to! Its just when I look at my schedule I laugh at myself. Up at 4 work by 5:30 school at 11 then back to work at noon home at 4:30 ish, dinner and time with my son. Add a sewing class into the mix and I get dizzy thinking about it. I am thinking about maybe making an hour for myself after work, be home by 5:30 ish to make dinner, and go to the gym during that time. I just didn't enjoy myself much when I went the last time. I just have to find it in me!
Thanks for the reply post! I am in Gloucester ever heard of it. I am maybe an hour east of you.
