Hi everyone,
I don't know about you, but I used to use food alot to help me cope when I was feeling rubbish, or anxious and particularly when I felt angry. I could just eat a massive pudding or pizza or take away, and for a little while I would feel ok, although it was shortlived and I would have to do it again after feeling guilty and hating myself for eating too much.
Thing is, now my habits are changing
and I'm making good progress which I am happy about
. When I'm having a hard time as life is sometimes tough I find it hard to cope.
I'm not wolfing down some kind of lard at every opportunity anymore, so I feel like I've no crutch. I'm glad with the change, but I feel like my emotions are all over the place sometimes.
I talk to my husband who is so supportive and a beautiful human being
, but trying to lose weight feels like its a solo thing in a way, like it's my journey and not his. I don't talk to my friends about as they are pretty much all a healthy weight and I don't think they'd get it.
I wondered if any of you experience the same kind of difficulty, and if so, how do you cope without food as a crutch?
I also wonder if any of you feel impatient to lose weight
. I know it will take a while as I've alot of weight to lose, and I'm taking it just day by day which is really helpful to me. But sometimes I feel impatient to lose weight and that frustrates me a little
. Do you get that? If so, what do you do about it?
Ok, I think that's my moaning done for the day!! I hope I'm not bringing anyone down.
Keep up the war on extra weight everyone
