wow I need to come back and re-read this thread and I think bookmark it because this hits home for me.
I came from a controlling childhood to a marriage where I am controlled ( to a certain extent) I think my weight crept up because my eating was all I
could control.
I ate because this was mine and no one was going to take my drug of choice from me. Does that make sense?
I need to use it to the other degree and take charge of my health and be the driver of my own destiny. I'm doing this step by step despite many falls lately.
I think addictions fall into that fear of control, maybe it is better to be lead by the hand then make 'grownup' descions. My work atmoshphere is extremely stressful with many demanding people who need my attention, there are days I feel I could scream and yell " are you people nuts"? now who would seem like the crazy one? I have trouble expressing and escaping stress, I'm working on a journal.
This thread is wonderful, I hope we can keep it going
