Guest guest Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 Good morning everyone! As I go through this process of giving up dieting, I realize how much free time I have because I am not thinking about points, when I can eat, what I should eat, nor am I reading every single article on diet and weight loss that comes in all the magazines. That leaves a lot of time on my hands and somewhat a feeling of loss. This is a habit I have had for 40 years and now I am trying to give it up. It is hard to give up the food police and all the rules and trust in yourself and your God given ability to know when you are hungry and what your body needs. I went for about 4 weeks and maintained my weight; then I was hospitalized and had to cancel a trip abroad due to my health and that was all stressful not to mention it happened a week before Easter and all the candy, etc. - and I gained 4 lbs. comforting myself with food. Those lbs. are not going away and I am very concerned that the scale will continue to go up instead of down. This concern is making me think, for the millionth time, about going on some diet . . . . if I could only be thin, I need something else to be in control, yada yada yada . . . . . I so want to stop this destructive pattern. Any words of wisdom? Thanks. Debra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
