Judy Ann, another member one time shared this thought that she had read - 'eat

to get healthy, not get healthy so you can eat.' or something like that. Have

you found out which foods are 'well received' (not irritating) for you and which

ones a NOT? I don't see how 'weight' can be THE factor in such a determination.

I see where stress can be a factor but until you really know what is 'ahhhh' and

what is 'oh no!' for your body, it would seem that focusing on 'weight' would be

distracting from finding what YOU really need to know.

One of the suggestions that can be hard to do at first is to be gentle with

yourself. Musts and Shoulds haven't worked so far have they? And like WHO can

know best about YOU other than yourself? Don't panic and gift yourself time and

patience. I bet you find yourself in a better 'place' sooner than you think.

behavior problem, but because I have IBS I really need to drop 45 lbs and start

eating foods that doesn't have an adverse effect on my body. I have been under

quite a bit of stress the last several years... and I really need and desire to

move forward to resolve my financial and family situation. Eating appears to be

of comfort for me, but I still need to stop " the cycle " of eating when I'm not

hungry and snacking on foods that aren't completely healthy for me.
