Hello, I have been lurking around this board for a long time(about 2 years) and now I need your help.I am disgusted with myself.Sometimes I just lose control and eat too much.It isn't like I do not know how to eat .I do and have lost weight before but like
yesterday I was my day off from work and I lost control and I ate and then I felt bad.
My husband is a diabetic so we do not keep sweets in the house but i just eat.I talk myself out of execising(i have all of Richard Simmons tapes)Can you give me a swift kick in the butt and keep me going?I am 54 years old and I need to lose 100 pounds I weigh
273 and I am only 5 ft.1 in. tall.I really really will appreicate any help.I even
pray for God to help me and we know he can.Thank you for everything.Judy

well it's a new day and a new month to start off right. Just get in the mind set that you will succeed and it will be easier to start. Good Luck =)
First of all I would say please don't be disgusted with yourself for overeating. Hey, if we all ate the way we know we're supposed to then we wouldn't be here. You are only human and to succeed you have to forgive yourself.
Something that helps me is to remember that there are no 'good foods' or 'bad foods', meaning food is just fuel for your body. Some foods just give you a lot more fuel with less calories. I try to focus on those foods, thinking that will really help my body function better. If I think about what I can't have, then I start obsessing, and that leads to bingeing.
Remember you are not your body. You are a wonderful person who deserves to feel healthy!!
Good luck to you, I know you can reach your goals, just hang in there!--Vera

Can I recommend some good books? Have you ever seen Kathleen Daelamens on the cooking channel? She's a woman who lost over 75 lbs probably 12-14 years ago, and kept it off ever since, and she's a chef at a fancy health spa in Hawaii. Anyway, she has two books out (one brand new one which was published in March, and I haven't seen that one yet). The book I have seen (circ. 2002) is both cookbook and personal journey pep talk. I think it might help you, and I highly recommend it. Another book, I think the title is Healthy Heart Cookbook was written by a man and wife team out of Gig Harbor, Washington (and they have several, I think). It's a big cookbook but it's also filled to the brim with healthy eating advice.
