I Eat Terrible Foods

[desire_billy]

As long as I can remember I've always craved fatty foods. I would lie and steal to get them, even from a very young age. My mother used to holler at me that all I cared about was filling my gut. She used to with hold food because of the rolls on your gutI'm 40 now and weigh 300 pounds. I'm scared. I know I need professional help but I can not

i think parents dont realize that what they do really can have a more damaging effect on us than positive. im sure your mom thought maybe this will help control her... no it made you do it even more... im sure my mom calling me fat and such thought maybe id eat healthier or diet... no it make me get fatter and fatter til it had a damaging effect and made me starve and starve with her voice in my mind saying you have cankles, your fat... blah blah... i remember the first time she said i was getting a fat ass... i weighed 112... 112 is nowhere close to fat...

recently i said oh im dieting... and the way she said your dieting??? came out like really bc i cant tell...

good luck dear... you can do it... try to eat healthier or only have healthy foods around... better to binge eat on celery or fruit than pizza... you can control what you eat... tell yourself no no no... and if you do eat mcdonalds, go for a walk after... or clean your house to burn some cals. off...

i believe you can do it!!! you just have to believe it too!

I feel guilty for not having any snacky stuff in the house for the boys. Not like they need it! But I still get the whine about how other kids have it. But I've got to just buck up and do it.

i struggle with binge eating a lot.
and i've found the best way to avoid temtation when im out is to only bring the money i need with me.
if im getting gas, i figure out how much i'll need for gas and only bring that much etc etc.

and iv found foods that remind me of fatty foods but really arent.
like for breakfast a lot ill make oatmeal and pop it in the oven until it gets hard and a little crunchy, then i scoop a little plain canned pumpkin on there and add cinnamon, nutmeg, pumpkin pie seasoning and a little vanilla and it taste like pumpkin pie.

healthyyum.com has a lot of recipes like that =]

good luck!

Maybe you could look online for a free eating disorder support groups that meet locally. Or click around these sites a bit:

I'm sorry that you're going through a hard time right now. It can't be easy juggling all that you are, on top of having to worry about food and weight, or changing dietary habits you've had your whole life. I hope that you find the support that you're looking for here.

Thank you so much. I joined the local OA last year, but it was not helpful at all. Very depressing and too religious for me. But I will check out that other site!!

maybe you should just eat some carrots and celery once in a while if u think u dont eat the right foods. cause i think EVERYONE loves the food that they eat for a reason(cause its good for them) if u like to eat "bad" foods. i think your no different then like everybody. LOL

I eat healthy all day long because someone, even if it's my youngest child, can see me. It's when I'm alone, or the kids are at their father's for the weekend that I gorge on bad things. I'm a major night eater once the kids have gone to bed.
