Hi Sappho
I can only agree with the previous post.
I was strangely thinking of you yesterday and wondering why you were so quiet.
You can do this, we know you can and you know you can. Swat that little devil off your shoulder.
Good luck hun.
Oddly enough Tange - so was I!!
Hey Sappho - sorry to you hear you've come off the rails.
What you need to do, is have a nice long conversation with yourself in the mirror. Look at yourself, directly in the eye - do not avoid eye contact; do not look away. And discuss why you want to lose weight - and why you are not allowing yourself to. Sounds daft, but it can be pretty powerful.
You know, only you can stop yourself from binging. But you first need to know and understand why you are doing it. Then you have to make your mind up to STOP. Right NOW. And make sure you are listening to yourself - and then reach deep down inside you where all your strength is buried - and pull it out. You are as strong as any one of us. We all have it in us to do this. No one stops us but ourselves.
You simply MUST have a louder voice then your inner chatterbox. When it starts babbling, you just talk over it. Talk out loud if you have to. Anything to silence it. The mind controls the addiction, not the body - so you just need to be louder and stronger then your mind.
It can be done - you can do it. Put your heart and soul into it, know its not forever....food will still be there when you are done - you are not losing a friend (and food never really has been our friend though it may have seemed like it once upon a time....but its not. Its just the fuel we need to make our bodys run. Its our petrol.
) - you are taking care of you. And going after what you want.
Come on girlfriend - prop youself up, and know in your heart only you can make it work or not. And if you truely desire to be successful - then give yourself permission to be, allow yourself to be successful. You deserve it.
