flaxseed's Journal, 13 February 2009

Still sitting here, surrounded by snow and waiting for my new scales! I've had lots of time to think as I'm not hopping on and off the scales for the moment and I've had a LBM. I'M NOT NORMAL!. Looking around at my slim friends and their relationships with food none of them turn to eating when they are fed up, emotional, have a crisis or are angry. They knit, run, do yoga, paint pictures. pamper themselves, listen or play music, walk the dog and a myriad of other things. Why do I (and others) turn to food? I do lots of the things others do but when I've got a problem the first thing that pops into my mind is eat, eat and eat more. Half the time it doesn't matter much what I eat. Where and when did this start? As I've been overweight for most of my adult life, probably in my teens. While on FS I have modified what I eat when I'm in a tizzy but haven't addressed the fact that I'm eating what I don't need and when I'm not hungry, even if it is fruit,veg and nuts. I think I need to sort out a substitute - I feel like a child who's about to lose her comforter. What on earth can I do that will give me the same feeling as food? I'll let you know when I've sussed it out. Have a good day everyone

If you're not normal, then there are a lot of abnormal people in this world! :) I think a lot of people eat for comfort... it will be interesting to see what you come up with as a substitute! I hope you find the key!
