Hi Vicky, thanks for the support. My mom lives with me until a seniors facility is built in our home town. That should be in the fall sometime. It's a good thing and it's not so good of a thing. She has taken care of someone all her life and the way she does that is to cook. While cooking still keeps her active, it impacts on the way I eat. None of this is her fault, I am old enough to make my own choices but find those choices difficult. I feel like my life is slipping away, and yet feel guilty trying to make changes. The mind is a complex thing. Anyway, I hope you make time for yourself. I am lucky in that respect, as I have no children or husband. Hopefully you can get some support , get outside, a walk or something. I had been quite good at doing daily exercise but find that when I binge and eat the wrong food, I don't have the energy to do those things. All I want to do some days is come home and consume calories to feel better. On top of that, I work with food all day, so FA is not a workable solution for me. I am however, going to conselling to try and understand why I use food as comfort, and hopefully with calorie-count and these forum, change some destructive habits. Take care Vicky, be strong

Hi Everyone I'm new here, both in the forums and at calorie count. I'm so glad that I found this site and these forums because I don't feel so alone and disgusted with myself. I have been trying to lose 50 pounds for the last ten years. I lose 30 and put on 40. I lose 25 and put on 40. It is so frustrating and disheartening. I feel like I'm such a failure. The saddest part is that when I started dieting (back in the old Diet Center days) I was only 8- 10 pounds above my normal weight. Through dieting, I have managed to add 50 pounds and constantly struggel with my weight. I have resolved, on this the first day of a new year, to be kind to myself. To stay within the daily amount of calories I need to lose this weight by September, to not deprive myself of good food and to put that binging monkey back in his cage. I have such a bad stomach that on some nights (after eating popcorn, cookies and chocolate) I wake up on the verge of vomiting, acid so high that it hurts the back of my throat. I too, find the evenings the worst, pulled by coming home after work to keep my elderly mother company, or going to the gym to take care of myself. These are difficult choices but I think I can find a balance and know that with these forums I will be able to share my challenges and success. Be good everyone and be strong.. 'lina
