Whatever works

[casacera]

We choose “Weight Loss” at a category here, and so we have the desire for that in common. But since we’re all individuals ( our own dna, family history etc) our resolving, recovering and for me managing my disorder is individual to me. I hope that whatever I post here is not advice or interpretation for anyone else. I’ve found I simply relate with some behavior or solutions and not others. Hope that’s the spirit which is taken as just my truth, experience and help in my own struggle.

Here’s to everyone having a comfortable day. Me, too. casacera

Replying to myself because I have trouble ending a meal. Mine is a compulsive overeating addiction ( been diagnosed ). Please don’t assume that’s someone else’s disorder or behavior re : eating food and or weight loss and maintaining. Right now and that ‘s what ‘s important for me “making it through” one day without overeating. Comes down to want or need. Satisfied my physical needs (and I might add tasty as well). But my all too familiar subconscious messenger says…”Have something else, I WANT more!”That’s why I’m here and posting. Outside of myself. Better now. Thank you for reading this. casa era

Just a suggestion if you need distraction, why not go over to one of the forums and interact with other people. You can join one of the weigh in groups, even if you don't want to submit your own stats, the people there would welcome your support and encouragement. There's the daily chat thread as well you could join in. I'm just thinking that if you post here in isolation, it doesn't divert your mind from your struggles for some respite.

I'm pretty much fine thanks - probably much the same as many people who call in here - struggling to lose weight, stop the cravings, stop eating the wrong things that always seem tastier than the healthy stuff 😀 Trying to figure out why some times during the day I can resist the siren call of food and at other times I am a lost soul. But just by being here, it shows we haven't given up trying and we can support and encourage each other. I'm UK based but I hope you find an evening support buddy, but I still think that will be likely in one of the group chats rather than in response to an individual post. Best of luck!
