Guest guest Posted August 8, 2005 Report Share Posted August 8, 2005 I think one of the hardest things to learn if you're a " helping person " by nature is that there are people whom you cannot help and that, ultimately, the determining factor as to whether someone succeeds in improving health (barring the unexpected) is whether he or she has his or her heart in the effort. That said, I must confess (and please don't interpret the following as intolerance) that I just don't understand food cravings or, as so eloquently put it, junk " calling your name " . Yes, food can be delicious. But there isn't a food I can't pass up, especially if it means the difference between life and an early death. But perhaps there's something else at work here: I dare say most of us thought when we were twenty that we were immortal. Likewise, I suspect that far too many of us think complications happen to " those other people " ; they're not going to get *us!* And all-too-many of us find otherwise the hard way when it may be too late (but isn't always, thank goodness). Put another way, in situations such as with 's friend, what we're dealing with is an inability or unwillingness to apply rational thinking to the situation and a lack of self-discipline or, perhaps, even a fatalism ( " eate drink and be merry for tomorrw you may die!

Guest guest Posted August 8, 2005 Report Share Posted August 8, 2005 Eating is a head game. My wife council's a lot of people with eating disorders and an eating disorder is the inability to say no to food, or, totally avoid it and starve to death. Most think an eating disorder is just anorexia and starving to death. Not true. Obesity is an eating disorder as well and requires counseling.

Guest guest Posted August 8, 2005 Report Share Posted August 8, 2005 Guiess I was lucky in one way. I have been diabetic since the age of 22 months, so never grew up with cookies, cake etc. My mother was always at a good weight herself, so us 3 girls learned how to eat correctly as youngsters. I was 10 and went to live with my aunt because of family situation and that is when my eating habits became bad. She felt sorry for me not being able to eat junk food, so she quickly taught me how! (she always had a weight problem.) After tha, even though I went back to live with my mother, I had learned how to like junk food. We didn't eat it much at home as we did not have it, but I use to spend any extra allowance on Dairy Queen and candy bars-which my mother did not know about! Re: Fw: lab Eating is a head game. My wife council's a lot of people with eating disorders and an eating disorder is the inability to say no to food, or, totally avoid it and starve to death. Most think an eating disorder is just anorexia and starving to death. Not true. Obesity is an eating disorder as well and requires counseling. Mike, your quite lucky to be able to view food the way you do. Probably because your parents were balanced eaters and modeled good eating habits for you?

Guest guest Posted August 8, 2005 Report Share Posted August 8, 2005 You are right Mike. She has given up without even trying. For instance for breakfast this morning she had a bowl of Wheaties with a banana and a piece of toast. Basically no protein and all carb. She has insulin dosages set so she can eat stuff like that and not have high blood sugars and I keep telling her that she could take less insulin if she quit eating so many carbs, but it falls on deaf ears-so I rarely say anything to her anymore. She definitely needs counseling, but won't go. Re: Fw: lab > > It is very hard pat to see friends killing themselves like that.

Guest guest Posted August 9, 2005 Report Share Posted August 9, 2005 Hi all, Yup, it seems to be very difficult for some folk to comprehend the seriousness of the situation. It is just like a couple of my teenage daughters. They simply can not internalize the long term consequences of their actions. They see something they either want or want to do and any thought of future consequences goes right on out the window. In the case of my children one of the major problems is Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS). This seems to play the very Dickens with the part of the brain which deals with self control. It is actually a rather sad situation as these youngsters just do not seem to be able to grasp the concept of consequences. Some people just simply can not see ahead longer than a couple of seconds. Between the FAS generated problems and the natural inclination of a teenager to firmly believe that they are truly invincible I have pulled out most of my hair. While it is true that some folks just give up and do not even try to maintain a healthy diet it si also true that some folks just flat can not internalize the damage they are actually doing to their body by their poor eating habits. Cy, the Ancient Okie.... Re: Fw: lab > > It is very hard pat to see friends killing themselves like that.
