You sound so familier to me. Every time I had a child around that same age(I have 3kids). It is so hard because they have difficulty expressing through words want they want. Monday mornings -probably knows you are leaving for work. You ccan't change your situation, but you can change how you handle it. Go to your dr. tell you have trouble with perspective & don't like yourself. I always needed help from my dr. even though hard to admit. My doc tried a few dif meds before I felt like a real person- not just someone trapped in a small room w/ toddler screaming w/ walls caving ing in around me. Sounds weird but know I see everything around me more clearly. Like other moms and dads dealing w/ exactly the same things as me. Just remember that you mean everything to that child and you need to be healthy for them (mind & body). |

| 4/11 165 4/20 164 4/27 163 5/12 163 I am not upset about it since as of thurs. after a long week of binge eating I was 168. Which really stinks since i didn't even enjoy the food. So I am kind of surprised that once I stopped I was able to lose 5 lbs by just stopping, and hanging outside with the kids. Ihave been having such a good time the weight total didn't matter all that much. Here is to eating to live not living to eat. |

| 4/11 165 4/20 164 4/27 163 Still no exercise really -just chasing the kids around a bit more cause of nice weather. I'm a bit surprised at any lose I stopped tracking and had ice cream pizza hut and cake chicken parm. I felt to guilty to log but feel like fessing up now. I think my cals for the days may have been ok but not nutrient packed. back to logging. I was just lucky! |

| Your doc 's examples really help with short term successes. Way more helpful for the day to day. I know that the long term weight loss goal gan be overwhelming. Also gives me some thing to think about now that I not thinking about what my scale said today(I did not use it and won't til fri.). | |||

| now I now why x-rays didn't show anything wrong with my hips. When I think about carrying around a big bag of dog food, no wonder I ache all the time. That is a whole lot of motivation to lose that 40 lbs. Thanks for some perspective. | |||

| jeanettentre- I agree! I will not be dragged down by what my scale says in the short term of things. I am in it for the long hall. I know it can depress me to look at it. If I think I am doing well(feel good) I don't need the scale to pat me on the back or knock me down. Once a week is plenty. How I feel is going to tell me how I am doing. Oh yeah, decided to do it with out the meds. i figure in the long run I won't be using them so I do not need a temporary boost. | |||

| jeanettentre - not a whole lot of exercise. I us the red machine for my abs for bout 15 mins and I am trying to take my dogs for 30 min walks. They are really bad on leashes though so after 15b min of tugging me I give up. Hopfully they will get better and it will go from stregth training time to cardio. thanks | |||

| I agree totaly..we must see results in the long run. we just have to all hang in there until we reach our goals. remember that we are changing our lifestyles. Changing our mind sets to being: thin healthy people who just need our bodies to catch up with us. Eating like a skinny person does overall feel better. I love not feeling so full I could just burst. It is just so hard with the mental battle..I still feel so much guilt for how I let myself get here. Unfourtunatly that guilt does push me to binge. I vow right now to not check my scale until next Tuesday! I will not be a slave to that thing... But as soon as I am ten pounds less I will have pretty new feet! | |||

| 9360499181- I m in the same boat. I have stayed on my cal target 1200. no change. I see my doc today about taking meridia again. I took it with same cal intake 7 yrs ago with success. 2 kids later ..well you know the story.. I dont like taking a pill but hear it really helps with binging do to anxiety. I do recall not suffering from anxiety while on it (just hated taking a pill)Anyone have views about it? | |||

| I don't see myself reaching my goal of 30-40 lbs. in that short a time, so how'bout 15. I will not be in a bikini by no means, but I will be proud enough to wear "one of the ones that hides some extra stuff" | |||

| I know you can do it! This site is great for helping you reach goals if you are positive about the process. You deffinitly sound positive. My 3 kids would love it if I could throw on a swimsuit and take them to the beach. They must be catching on to the fact that they have yet in 8 years to see me in one more than once a year. | |||
| Weight Loss | Is this binging? | Apr 11 2007 21:55 (UTC) |

| I know I am binging when this happens more than twice a week: I don't allow myself to stop for 15 min. after eating a normal serving. I barely find pleasure in the food, and feel intense guilt after. | |||

| jeanettentre- went ahead and added you to my friends list. Thanks for offering your support! I started back in Feb. 1st. time, but fell off the wagon. I'm back again because I love this site, it really works (when you don't lose focuss.) It also helps you make sure you are eating enough. Helps not to lose track of nutrition. I am starting again at 165, I am 5.2 34 yrs old hope to get to 135-125. | |||

| i could completely use some help. I suffer from anxiety and binge eat because of it. Sometimes just checking in with others is enough to take my mind of b/e. I am trying to start walking and looking for a hobbie to take mind off of weight. | |||
