Guest guest Posted February 1, 2004 Report Share Posted February 1, 2004 Obviously I can't solve your problems. But I can offer some support. I do know what you are going through. To truly " recover " from obesity we have to quell our demons. Can I suggest that you seek the help of a professional. I also had " Spending Binges " as well as eating ones and it was awful. The financial destruction I caused to my own family was beyond belief. It is also a sign of Bi-Polar dis-order. I am in no way saying you are Bi-Polar (I am and of the people I know who also face this dilemma all spend wildly when not properly medicated). But I think it is something that needs to be looked into. Binging and destructive behavior is a sign something else is going on. Take care and if I can be of any help you just have to holler!!!! Candi - I need some stress relief please. ::language:: Hi everyone, I consider this group one of my first line of defense (support group) and I hope you all don't mind. Right now I'm really shaky...I have been extremely stressed the past week - all week - due to LTD (long term disability) and SSD (social security disability) reviews, being reviewed for Section 8 - housing help, and lastly also for chapter seven bankruptcy due to credit cards, health/medical bills. I am just going to come out and be sickening honest with you. Today I ate 5 1/2 donuts because of my fears/stresses. I do deep breathing, but not all the time can I slow my breathing down. I have binged on more than that in the past, and I am sick of it - and consequently - sick of me because of it. I want to loose weight. I had bariatric surgery NOT to screw it all up by eating this ~ quite honest ~ CRAP. ::sigh:: I was just wishing if any of you could give stress relief or relaxation support techniques, but ones that are not too involved - ie: not getting in to a warm bubble bath? As much as I would love to, it is not happening due to the fact I need and want to be able to curb this stress and hunger due to it, or shopping if that happens! I either eat or shop due to stress/as a " release " action/mechanism/what-have-you. Also, am I the only one out there that binge eats like that when stressed? Am I the only one that has a compulsion to eat and shop, and an addiction to eat and shop, due to stress and trying to survive what seem insurmountable? I thank you eveyone. Take care, be well, much love. Sincerely, ~*~**~ V.
