Guest guest Posted November 8, 2008 Report Share Posted November 8, 2008 Hi, my name is Barbra. I'm new to IE also. I've been reading Geneen Roth's book about Emotional Eating. I read two chapters of it this morning. It really brought me to tears knowing that things I do and feel are happening to others! I was shocked when I read her story about the " last supper " and how tomorrow you'll start the " diet " and you binge all day in fear of tomorrow. I can't even begin to count how many times I have done that. It's like a huge weight being lifted off my shoulders knowing I don't have to " diet " and I can live a " normal " eating life. I really had this craving for chinese food tonight. So I stopped to pick some up and they had a sign up that said " cash only " . I didn't have enough cash on me so I opted for Taco Bell. For the first time in my entire life I threw 1.5 tacos in the trash!!! I ate the nachos and by the time I got threw 1/2 a taco it did not taste good anymore. I read something somewhere about how you can get yourself in " zone " and you eat and eat and don't realize your doing it...that is so me. I know many people have had a traumatic past and that was the start of their food issues. To be honest, I have no idea why I have food issues. I can remember WAY back to being a kid and sneaking food and such but I had a normal childhood for the most part. Nothing traumatic happened, it kind of puzzles me where I learned all these horrible " diet " ways. Anyway, I've really enjoyed reading stories and advice on this board. I'm excited to get to know you all better and to know there is a place I can come to cry or celebrate! Barbra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
