Story of my life. (Thankfully, grace and mercy are also the stories of my life!)

Lost 12 lbs. Ate marshmallows, chips, and chocolate. Drank chocolate milk. Why?

Can you relate?

Sometimes when we reach a goal we tend to congratulate ourselves in some way. A kind of self pleasure. No need to beat yourself up @FlyingPurplePeopleMeeter it’s only natural.

I always am really negative about myself. I call it self discipline but it’s probably not healthy. So yeah I can relate. I think we just have to love ourselves more. And others of course.

I always self sabotage when I’m close to being under 300 pounds. I’m doing it right now. I was 302 a few weeks ago now I’m at 305 and probably higher I stress binge ate last night at 2 in the morning.

I do this every time.

Let’s support each other!! I can’t get below 235 for the SAME reason! Are there foods to need to avoid or not have in the house at this time? Are there lower calorie foods you can binge on that don’t add the calories?

I resisted shop rites big box of cookies for 1.99 this time

It’s like shop rite wants you to binge on 25 cookies in a 2 day span

I need to start binging on fruits and veggies. I ate ice cream, candy bars, chicken thighs, and some flaming hot cheetos. I felt so ashamed afterwards.

Thanks for the support!

Trust me, of all people I can totally relate. Just love and forgive yourself and do better going forward.

By the way, I love how you said grace and mercy are also the stories of your life. I really adore you. You are a lovely woman.

The shame will only trap and enslave you! I wish I could free you!

When you want to go for a binge, lay out every item you are going to eat. Then, switch as many as you can with healthier food. Even if it’s just one, that’s OKAY.

Also, before you binge,
POST HERE
LISTEN TO A SONG
WRITE A LETTER OR JOURNAL ENTRY
WATCH A MOVIE

I know binges come at inconvenient times, that’s why I didn’t suggest going for a walk, calling a friend, taking a drive, or sleeping. But those are helpful, too.

Eek! So hard when not everyone is trying to eat the same way. My husband and two kids still want their pancakes, sandwiches, and muffins! Also, we’re going on vacation this weekend and next with family who eat cereal, candy, and bread. I just gain on it! But it will be hard to resist!

Do you have any tips on how to say resist around family?

Your words are very kind and generous! I can’t live up to them! But thank you!

You inspire me! You offer so much support and attentiveness here, yet you are going through so much!! I have no idea how you stay energized to help so many people when what you’re going through is incredibly exhausting! It’s beautiful to me that you balance asking for and giving support with skill and finesse! You’re AMAZING!

And, I’m so sorry you can relate to self-sabotage. I don’t want that for you at all! I want you to excel!
