Needing to talk - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

antreeta · 04-09-2003, 02:32 AM

Okay, the last three days have been pretty good regarding food.
Stuck to my food plan and all that.
It is now 3 a.m. and I just had my lunch at work. My stomach is full but not too full, just right.
My problem is, that we are not busy and all I want to do is graze for the rest of the night.
I want to eat out of boredom and make my night go faster. I am not hungry physically. The clock is just dragging. I am not really tired. But I miss my sneaky comforter, food. I don't want to start over. I want to be able to at least get a week in without eating compulsively.
My higher power can help me. I need to turn this over. HP, I want this desire to eat compulsively removed. I AM BEGGING.
I want to say welcome to all you newcomers in the last few days.
Keep coming back and posting. You help us when you ask for help.
Thanks all for listening to me.
Love
Antreeta

Hi -

I hope you are feeling better today. You did the right thing, you were spinning and you reached out - that is great

We can only try this stuff one day at a time. Any time you need to vent, just log on and type away - I sure as heck do LOL!

good for you. prayer and sharing. getting the message out to others and not keeping it all inside you. that's the key. and all that starting over???? don't we do that every day? it's a one day at a time situation. it's a "daily" reprieve. so do it like you did it with any other addiction. take it an hour at a time or 15 minutes at a time. there is a solution. i have faith in that. i hope it got better for you darlin'.

You guys are great. Thanks. I made through last night. Prayers were answered. It is so good to see feedback.
Now tonight I ate an extra snack that wasn't on my food plan.
Not a healthy snack either, but I am trying to be gentle with myself, because I was physically hungry and it was appropriate sized. I feel okay.
Oh, the things that go through my head about food. Now, I am worried I am in denial. I'll keep coming back.
