Food is my crack: A Lament

  • So... Here I am. Another year has gone by and I am still fat. I turn 27 in a month and I just think about how since I was 16 years old every year I promise I am going to lose the weight. And all I do is GAIN.

    This year I went through a divorce. Huge life change. I ate and then I would diet for a month, have a huge binge and get completely off track. I am an addict.

    I'm not sure how I am going to do it... But I'm going to do it. I dont want to waste the rest of my dying youth being fat... I am here for support and to give any that is needed.

    Hope everyone is doing well and Happy Holidays to all y'all
  • Hi LVBelle, and

    Gosh, I know where you're coming from. I started SO many years off thinking "This is going to be my year". But then one year, I really DECIDED it was time. I can't really describe the change, but it was undeniably different. I was determined in a way I never thought I could be.

    Have you visited our "Chicks in Control" forum yet? It might be a good place to start if you have issues with binging. Otherwise, do you have a specific plan you're going to follow? If so, we probably have a forum for it, so look around, ask questions, and most importantly, keep posting!

    Can't wait to see you around soon!
  • Whoa boy! I read your subject line and just had to click. I understand. A lot of us do. Food is a horrible addiction to overcome. I hope you find all of the support that you need here!
