IamLinny's Journal, 20 April 2016

When the physical pain you are in dictates your day; when you realize that the years you have lived far exceeds the amount of years you can live; when you acknowledge that you have been dieting for 55 years and you are still considered 'obese'; for the love of God, I have to stop using food for everything from comfort to anger and every emotion in between.

If you too are using food in this manner, please do not wait till you are 68 yrs old to break free. It has been so exhausting to binge and diet and constantly try every new plan that comes out. To begin anew on Mondays. To never know if the next season's clothing will still fit. I know what to eat; I know what foods I cannot handle; I know so much....and yet, feel so ignorant.

Today makes day 3 of eating healthy. Perhaps if I just write about my struggle I will release some of the feelings. Perhaps...

Thank you for responding. It's been a long time since I found myself so discouraged...health issues have a lot to do with it. Mistybenner, I am logging...it helps with the accountability. Steven, thanks for your kind words...I will check out Blkbear.... I am not very savvy with computers. I entered your buddy's name, but... Oh wait, I entered his name under "foods" rather than "members". Might be why I didn't find him. You see, I can't stay away from food!!!! I'll give it another go. Thanks again and good night.

I'm an angry eater myself. Whenever something makes me mad I rush straight to the fridge or pantry. :-\
