I can't believe I just lost an enormous post. Gone but not forgotten.
Regarding getting too hungry, tired, etc. We call it HALT for never let yourself get too hungry, angry, lonely, or tired. Seems like a pretty good principle. Part of me taking care of me needs to do more planning ahead. I've gotten pretty good about taking water to drink if I'm running errands in the car. It really wouldn't be a big deal to take a healthy snack. The key to all of this is going to be for me to stop what I'm doing and take time to do what is necessary for me to keep me happy and healthy.
I think we are too hard on ourselves when we slip up. I am very guilty of getting off track and staying there for a year at a time. However, the logical approach would seem to me to be to just STOP and don't keep doing it. I guess if I were capable of that I wouldn't need this forum, now would I?
I ate chinese today and actually got full pretty quickly. I really think it's because I haven't been eating sugar, bread, and chocolate. Empty carbs seem to really set me off. I assume that eliminating sugar binges will eventually result in weight loss. I was knocking down half of a big bag of M&M's or a pack of cookies before I could stop. It was a compulsion. I just couldn't stop. Foodaholic. I am a recovering foodaholic. Maybe I need to approach it that way. I've been to a couple of overeaters meetings and just couldn't hack it. Am I in denial?
Today I will try to be nicer to myself. I will take a little more time and try to look my best. I will be patient with myself and try to just take this one day at a time. I just want to be free of the burden of my fat. I will try and be like Ruby and take baby steps.

Hey Beth - nice to see you back here!!!  I know it's not much consolation, but I am so in the same boat with you. I feel ya for sure. I am so sick of regaining and feeling so fat and yucky. I'm off work for the summer as of today, and am (hopefully lol) recommitting myself to being consistent with diet & exercise once again. It's effecting me in every negative way possible. Blah. Anyway, I'll be checking in with you to see how you're doing!!!
