Re: Starting to Fast Again, Get my life back

Hi there, Read:The Mind Body Bible by Mark Atkinson since you soud like you are ready to work on yourself and fix it. You can search on amazon or get a copy at your local library. BEST book on emotional eating and steps to fix them. I'll be honest; Ive read the book for the most part but havent gotten myself to acutlaly do the excersices b/c Im simply not ready to face some of the ugly deamons lurking in the deep dark forests of my subconcious. But I still hang on to this book closeby looking for the moment Im ready to jsut bite the bullet, roll up my sleeves and do the dirtly work of FIXING MYSELF. Its amazing for actually SOLVING the emotional eating problem W/O the modern day mumbo-jumbo.

I totally understand where you are coming from. I CAN'T seem to STOP eating!!!! its horrible. As much as I WANT to and as much as I KNOW I should it just doesnt help for more than a minute or two. It seems like Im pocessed or something and its a vicous cycle provoking self hate, self critisism, hidden dipression, and more. Its like someone is downing all those cookies, and sweets while Im mindlessly somewhere else. I am wishing and praying that I Can change and I am taking baby steps to fix this problem. But tis Hard!!!!!!

As a result of being an auto-pilot-munchie-junkie understandably Ive also put on a few pounds-more like 25-30. Ive tried to read books, research online, etc to "fix" this problem but I am yet to progress towards losing the weight and stop eating instead of spiriling more into the abyss. On second thought, I Have progressed if you think about it; before I didnt even know WHAT was wrong with me or WHY I would eat allll the time (and sometimes not eat anythign all day long without a notice that I havent eaten) Atleast Now I Know that its something deeper inside and not hunger. I know I have a deeper deamon I need to face which I am afraid how it looks once outside. I faintly even know what it is! I say Faintly! because as soon as the thought comes to mind I supress it and move onto thinking something else. Conciously I know its pathetic! Just fix the damn problem!!! hahaha but emotionally I am hurting when I am not shut down.

I am hoping to do some damage control with The Master Cleanse and get rid of the toxins and lose the weight. God willing I will be able to get through that without cheating or givng up altogether. Which is why Ive joined this awesome (and my first) support group. you guys are awesome here and someones note on Ketosis Really helped. I need all the encouragement I can find.

God Bless,
