Hi!
Just joined this fantastic forum. I won't bore you with my whole life history, but to stay within the last couple of weeks; they have been awful. Due to medical conditions I ended up admitted in hospital several times (cortisol crisis etc), missed a vacation abroad and job seminars etc. My whole body is out of balance and sick. So what do I do to in this "crisis"? I do what I always do (just realized how severe of a case I am) - I eat. And eat, and eat, and eat. And feel shame, and more shame and so on. Of course this won't help my body at all
but I can't stop myself from stuffing my face. I want to get healthier, not the other way around!
My plan is to try to quit sugar and flour (that's my main problem sources, chocolates, cakes, bread...) and that should benefit inflammations and other illnesses. But I need support! My family has zero understanding and are all thin. I'm the overweight one, and soooo tired of it. If there is anyone else here who is planning to loose 20-30 kg (I'm swedish, so not used to pounds), with emotional eating difficulties, and would like a "buddy" in the process, please contact me. And anyone who has succeeded - please say something that can help me out of this dark eat-shame-circle. Thank you!
