Day 3 success! What I am finding is that I am eating healthier meals and not even wanting to eat in between! I put a lot of effort into creating healthy meals!

Failed miserably the last two days and have been binging. I think I really need to focus on smaller meals and NO sugar/refined carbs. I feel like crap about myself today

Good attitude. Can't change yesterday and tomorrow hasn't happened yet. Do it a decision at a time.

I have not been doing well since my last check in. I have been binging right before dinner. I need to get my head in the game.

Well I have decided to make this check in post kinda like a place for me to come and write. I have 80 pounds to lose. EIGHTY! It seems so overwhelming. But I have been this overweight for at least a good decade. I need to learn the art of "one day at a time" and not focus on the future and this taking so long, because when I do, I get upset and binge because I feel it just does not matter. I wish I could break the habit of weighing myself several times a day. I need to do this. I want to do this. This way of eating makes the most sense. One day at a time for me.
Also, I have OCD. Not medicated. I know I use food to numb myself. If I dont' binge I don't like the feeling of anxiety I have. I fear not being able to stuff myself each night. Praying for some help

Hi Erialicia,
Just wanted to pop in and say that I'm cheering for you!
Please be gentle with yourself. I know how overwhelming it can feel to have a large amount of weight to lose. What helped me (several years ago I was 70 lbs heavier than I am now) was to focus on mini goals -- like 5 lbs -- rather than on the big picture. That seemed a lot more managable. I also kept reminding myself that the weight didn't show up overnight and it wasn't going to come off overnight either. In my case, it took over 2 years to lose the weight but off it did come.
In terms of the scale, can you put it in a place that isn't readily accessible, toss it or give it to a loved one for safe keeping?
Also, I found it helpful to make a list of non-food related things I could do in place of eating to self-medicate. It can be useful to have a concrete action plan of things that you can do instead of turning to food. Pursuing a hobby, listening to a favorite piece of music, doing something that nurtures or uplifts you. I have (unmedicated) anxiety issues myself and exercise --daily walking -- has become the primary way that I self-medicate and keep things under control. It has helped more than I can say.
Take good care ...

Erialicia,
Thanks for posting on my "new member" post
I am also a homeschooling mom (of 4 kids) and I am attempting to lose 80 pounds as well. I am on Day 5 of really starting No-S and I am feeling good but scared of myself and my past with BED. BUT I want to be sane even if it means no weight loss and I feel sane sticking to these rules for the first time, maybe ever...
Just wanted to say hi and glad to be here and glad you're here too!
Carrie
