OK, myself is having issues with my choices of food this week. BAD. I have been just eating.....not caring much about what is has been and but yet caring because I know I should be making better choices. So why am I not..... good question. It's not so much what I am choosing, although the ice cream I had for breakfast was probably not a good idea, but also that I am overeating. Too big a portions, and then I feel sick afterwards and guilty because I know better and think...." How stupid I did this to myself."

Hi Pony,
I'm sorry that I'm coming in so late on this conversation. My excuse is that I've been leaving so early every morning and getting home so late. This paragraph of yours came back to me clearly as I read it. This was me exactly, a few months ago, just before I gave up sugar, aspertame, & sodas. After a few weeks of abstaining from these things, I felt so much better physically, mentally & spiritually, that I wouldn't touch these things again for anything. I don't know if this would work for you or not, as I know that everyone's body is different, but it might be worth a try for just a short period to see if it would help. My cravings were gone and have been for all of these months too, so that makes it possible just for today, for me to continue to abstain. I've had a few tempting times, but no cravings, and I always got away from the temptation as fast as I possibly could, because I know my limitations. I just thought that I'd throw out a few ideas, but I mostly wanted you to know how much I can truly understand what you are up against. I fought that for all of my life since I was a teen.
And NO, but JMHO, you definitely don't need a man in your life to define you. You are a complete and wonderful person, all by yourself. Now if you ever find a man who will love you for who you are and treat you the way that you deserve to be treated, then that will be one lucky man, to have someone as loving and kindhearted as you are in his life. You definitely should never settle for anything less. That's my take on the subject.
