Pre-diet Confession
I am a happily married 30 year old who has just about become fed up and very angry at the situation I am in. I am very overweight, have just recently been prescribed pills to keep my blood sugar under control and have also been told that until I get my weight under 175 lbs or so, I can forget about conceiving any children. I hate my job, but am a bit skittish about finding a new one because of my weight. I am tired all the time, battle feelings of depression and am not happy in the current place that I live.
However, there are good things. First and foremost, I have an amazing husband who loves me no matter how big I get, is willing to work out with me even though he is very fit, sets goals with me and gives me plenty of words of encouragement even though I have fallen off the diet wagon more times than I care to admit. I have a wonderful family (in-laws included) who truly care about one another and would do anything for me if I asked. I recently found the strength to go back to school AND succeed at it. Last but not least, I am making enough money to take a few very nice vacations a year (a must in my book).
So, what's my major malfunction? I think I am addicted to food. Seeing as I am a smoker, used to drink heavily when I bartended, have done many drugs in the past and not yet spent a day in rehab, I think I have sucessfully replaced drugs and alcohol with food. So I never really overcame my addiction, I just transferred it to something more socially acceptable. Maybe someone should get a 12 step program together in regards to food addictions. I would try it.
The next step for me is a goal with little or no rules, just a general direction. I'll explore that in the next journal entry.
