Guest guest Posted December 27, 2008 Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 Cheryl in AZ Awesome post about how to control eating. I think a lot of us try to " self medicate " with food. Anything to feel better!!!! I, for one, am in pain 24/7 with pinched nerve in back due to spinal stenosis, and have been in one kind of pain or another for many, many years. Needles to say, I am about 130 pounds overweight. (none of the pain related to my weight, though, Dr tells me) One other hint to add to Cheryl's post is also kinda funny but it has worked for me, have a water bottle with a squirty top with you all the time, water, Crystal Light, Iced Tea - whatever with no calories, and it is something to have when you need it, (here comes the funny part) I have often thought that when we need a bit of comfort and have that water bottle with the squirty top, we can always reach for it, is it not unlike the comfort in a small, small way of the bottle when we were babies that gave us so much comfort? NO I don't mean we have to suck on that bottle, but the comfort is there, somehow hahaha. Hey anything is a help when we are so desparate. Oreos, I can actually have in the house, cause I am not a chocolate fan, but Doritoes... Can't have them anywhere! Vicki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
