Hello everyone! Jayagoddess! Hope all is going well and the weekend was good to you! Mine was not so good...fell off the wagon and binged I had a very close family friend pass away this weekend from complications from breast cancer. She was 37. Sometimes things like that really puts life into perspective. I was so upset...I started to want to eat everything around me...I really need to stop thinking food is going to make me feel better. Sorry for the down talk...just had to vent. Even though my weekend was tough it I know getting back on the right path is going to make me feel so much better. Hugs to everyone and have a great week!

[Sassy_Chick]

Penngirl - so sorry for your loss of your family friend. Grief can do crazy things to ya. Make you do things you normally wouldn't do. Hang in there and we're here for ya every step of the way!

to everyone who needs it and also remember, keep telling yourself, You can do this!

I tend to binge too, especially in the middle of the night. I am "pre-menopausal", and often wake with hot flashes and cold sweats. Once I get up, I usually head straight to the refrigerator. When I wake up, I AM truly a bit hungry, but know I could get past it if i would just try and go back to sleep. I really think most of my weight problem comes from "night binges". Any ideas on how to overcome this? Thanks in advance.

Oh, Penngirl, that just breaks my heart. I'm so very sorry, sweetie. Take comfort in having known her and cared about her. I think that the best "gift" we can give to someone who's gone is keeping our memories of them alive.

Oh, Molly... those darned night sweats. I get them, too. I'm so sick of waking up soaked in the middle of the night. And changing sheets. I sleep on a towel now! aaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh!!!
What are you doing when you get out of bed? I mean, are you getting up because you have to change your clothes, etc?
What about trying some "nice" little ritual when you get up. Have some clothes ready on hand to change into. Something comfortable and comforting. A big fluffy towel to lay down on the sheets so you don't have to change them in the middle of the night...
And just "talk" to yourself about how you're feeling. Most of the time we do things (like heading to the fridge) without any conscious effort. We don't "think" about it, you know?
(okay, if that didn't make sense, it's because I haven't had coffee yet...)
