Hi, everyone,
I am now at my very highest weight. I can give you all sorts of excuses. I have struggled in my life with lots of trauma and I've always eaten about it -- either hyper-controling my food in the form of orthorexia (and getting under-weight) or I've over eaten, or I've yo-yo dieted. I'm now 37 at my very highest weight and I can't take it anymore. I want SO badly to get myself under control (without going into orthorexia-mode). My dietitian is trying to get me to eat 3 meals with healthy plating, 1 afternoon snack, and maybe a small dessert each day. I can't do it. If I allow snacking of any kind, I go absolutely NUTS and perma-snack all day.
I tried counting calories, but only made it four months. I can't go back to that world of food-as-numbers.
I'm here to give No S one more earnest shot, because it is literally the last-house-on-the-block for me. I've tried it ALL. And nothing works. I believe No S is true, sane-eating. It's how we SHOULD be eating.
I know that most people who are obese have become that way because they have a history of trauma (not all large people, but many of us). I work very closely with a therapist to address my past-trauma. But I have GOT to get my food, eating, and weight under control. I have a physical in a couple of weeks and I'm terrified about it. I hope it's not as bad as I fear.
I'm so tired, y'all. I'm giving this one more shot.

Welcome back, Sammy...I hear your frustration and desperation. It sounds like you've got some good support in place, with your dietician and therapist. Hopefully with their support and the No-S structure, you can get to a place where you feel better soon. We will cheer and encourage you along the way!

Never give up on a dream just because of the time it will take to accomplish it. The time will pass anyway.
