I have lost control of myself, if I ever had it. I don't typically just feel sorry for myself. Here I am this morning feelinf stupid, embarressed, humiliated that I can't regain the control I once had to lose and maintain my weight. Food has become my comfort. It's difficult to find a salad I can take comfort in, so last night I ate 14 cookies and a pint of ice cream.

I'm mortified, and what's worse-scared. I see myself getting bigger, don't feel good, have high cholesterol, not proud of my body, not as social as I once was, and now am beginning to see my 10 year old develop some of the habits with food that I've modeled for him. I am so ashamed.

I don't know where to start today, so I'll start here. I'm looking for a community that understands to surround myself with while I figure out the physical part.

I'm typically upbeat-I know hard to tell here-I just can't get there today.

Hey pennys!

You are not alone. Most of us have had trouble with control from time to time and eat more than we should. This is an ongoing situation. Don't give up!

Hey hey..of course you can change and do this - everyone can Not to say it isnt very very hard, but with the right support and a compassionate attitude towards yourself, there's no reason why you shouldn't ultimately succeed!
