Hi gang. I am lost and I need help finding my desire to get back on track. I was doing so well and know I am back to eating.....eating everything in site. Why do I do this to myself????
I don't want to exercise and I am using every excuse not to do it. I have been avoiding checking in. I am feeling of feeling this way. Thanks for listening I really need to get this off my chest. And I was hoping for some encourgment.

I do the same thing to myself...I think it is an eating disorder.

You did a GOOD thing for yourself by asking for help.

If you didn't want to do this, then you would never have posted.

Take a personal inventory into YOU.

Write down your pro's and con's.

REMEMBER you ARE worth the effort and I am PROUD of you for knowing that this is a hard road to travel and that you have the courage to ask for help instead of pulling away and stopping.

I value you both and think that you are both worth the effort.

Little Chick, you are now on your way to recovery just by coming in here and posting. We all slip and fall off The Beach and then get back on. We are human after all!
Please check in every day, even just for a and try to get back on track one bite at a time.
((((Little Chick)))

Whimsey, you kill me.

Little Chick, what you're going through is perfectly normal. Don't lose heart. I went off South Beach for about two months, but I suddenly discovered that I was sick and tired of eating junk and couldn't WAIT to start the program again. I'm on my fourth day of Phase I again, and I'm feeling good.

Sometimes the autumn can make us a bit "down", and we start craving carbs. Or maybe there's something going on in your life that you need to settle before you can feel good again.
Whatever is happening, you WILL get back on track again.
And like Ruth said, keep coming in here... even if only to chat with us. We're always here for you.

Come on now, snap out of it!! We all feel like that from time to time. Just shake it off & get back on track

Little Chick,
Remember, we are not on diets, we are dealing with our eating issues, our weight is a function of the other issues, not just what we put in our mouth.

I suggest that you get the Dr. Phil book, it has interesting insights into the emotional eater and why we eat.....along with what everyone says, keep posting, it takes a village and we all need the support. We all need to be reminded that we worth it, and Marci is always a good one to remind us of that.....

Just breathe through this time, be aware of what your doing and keep giving youself positive reinforcement.....

Your fine!!!

[Whimsey]
