[QUOTE=TaraBaby;1481034]I feel the same way its like i know how to do it but i just cant do it. I try and no matter what its like i just get so upset and quit. Part of it for me is that my parents have always been very healthy and my dad always pushes me with "have u worked out today" "that is bad for you are you really going to eat it" etc and i know hes just trying to help but in a way it makes me eat out of spite. its terrible but i just cant seem to do it even though losing weight is what will make me happy.[/QUO

I feel your pain. I am right there beside you in the self destructive "I'll get even with you by stuffing myself" line.
When my husband makes me angry or I am really stressed out at work I will wait till I am alone then raid the snack cupboard and eat till all the good stuff is gone. Just as if I am saying "I'll get even with you all. I can eat whatever I want and you can't stop me"
Even though I know its stupid and self destructive and not in line with my goal of losing 100# I do it anyway.
I do feel that I have made some progress in the few weeks that I have been with 3FC. for the first time in a long time i feel some real hope. It is thanks to you and all the 3FC's that i have "talked" to and that have "talked" to me.
So. stick with us and you'll feel better.

A trick that sometimes works for me when I don't feel like exercising is to make a deal with myself. "Okay, self, just ride the bike for 10 minutes. If you want to stop after 10 minutes, you can with no guilt attached. But you might want to keep going."

And the important thing is for me, if I want to stop after 10 minutes, I have to stop. It's the bargain I've made with myself. I think I've only stopped once.

I have a lot of conversations with myself.:crazy:

hi everyone. I'm back here after thinking I was better and could handle it alone. HA! last night I gorged on two donuts and two huge glasses of chocolate milk. That was after a very large dinner. Why do I eat to the point of being sick? Do I have that little self-respect or self-control? (obviously that's a big yes, but why?)

I'm going to read here, learn all over again, get control again and then STAY.

I'm so uncomfortable. And I was hoping to lose this 60 pounds by my birthday next month. There's no way now.

Hi, Idrial. Nice to meet you. I'm pretty new here. don't have many answers (yet) but I know how it is with the gorging on food even though you know its not a good idea. I'm working on that, too
One thing that works for me (sometimes anyway) is a note on my cupboard door my daughter made for me it says
Are you really hungry
Why do you want to eat NOW?
How will you feel LATER if you overeat NOW.
Pretty simple but really has kept me away from the snack cupboard quite a few times and has me thinking about why I overeat and makes me think before mindlessly stuffing my face.
