Guest guest Posted December 5, 2003 Report Share Posted December 5, 2003 Amen. I have to recognize the disease, recognize what it does to ME, and try to dance around that. If I pretend that I am normal and do not have this disease, before you know it, I am in bed with Peeps again. Or worse, a bowl of chopped fruit (gained more wt on fruit than Peeps). I make the choice not to look a Peep in the eyeballs, because I know who will win that lil show down. And it won't be me. I have identified the enemy and she is me. Thanks, Vitalady, Inc.

Makes it nigh impossible for the brain to make good choices consistently. If it could, ya wouldn't have needed the surgery in the first place. A prize-fighter who's always on the ropes or unconscious hasn't time or energy or will or hope to stay in training even part of the time.

Guest guest Posted December 5, 2003 Report Share Posted December 5, 2003 like i said we love you carol janice Re: Not all of us I agree that it may be all about chemicals, the lack of or the abundance of. Whichever your condition is. However, for me, I had to admit to myself that whatever the unfairness of the cards I was dealt it was up to me to make better choices. I chose too many bad ones. Whatever the reasons I got fat (chemicals, self-infliction, food disorders, genetics, yadda yadda.) I had to recognize that I have a life-long problem. I can not take myself off the hook. The surgery helped with the constant hunger...my brain has to help me make better choices. I feel like a prize-fighter who has to stay in training all the time to be any good. I am indeed only talking about the trials and tribulations dealing with fat in my life. Sure, sometimes I still drag food to the TV, but my choices are not damaging to my health or body. Mostly because I realize that the fat Carol may be lingering behind the ropes in the front row. Those chemicals helped to create bad habits, those of which I still fight and have to make mental assent to on a daily basis, how about an hourly basis. (Depends how busy I am and what day we are talking about.) I am a fat person in a thin body with a 2.5 year old thin mind trying to play catch-up with 40 years of bad habits. I am in the ring most of the time. " Ding " there goes Round 3. Carol G. (who is still finding her way to lifelong maintanance. Who still worries about years ahead and who does not want bounceback. So far so good.) > > For many of us, it's all about chemicals. > > However, the chemicals can get in control, and then we agree with > society that we are weak willed and lacking in character. > > I always have to say there ARE people with eating disorders, of > course, but they are not the majority of us. > > > > > > Thanks, > > > Vitalady, Inc.

If you were helped with the constant hunger, then it is on you. If even after the surgery there is still constant hunger, then you are still at square one. Coping with the emotional aspects of craving food, one day at a time.
