Totally understand the mirror thing. My T gave homework assignment last week to look in the mirror and write down what I see...i still havent done it...tried but cannot stand there long enough to allow any thoughts of what I see there in the mirror to form. I totatly get it!

I understand...ive struggled for all my life it with poor self image, convinced im fat, ugly & unworthy. Just recently got out of relationship...he told me about 2 yrs ago that I was too big for his liking, convinced me that he was telling me cuz he loved me & wanted to help me turn my physical health around. I know I cant put numbers pertaining to size & ht...but I was a Rene Zeilweger type, only not pretty...as I have thought of myself. Now two years later...the coin has flipped to the other side...& still thought of food consume me constantly. Now he & I are separated & we share custody of our children, however they are with him now as I am struggling w my health which has turned into mental health issues primarily! The grass is not greener on the other side, in this situation. I dont have magic advice for you...but I do know the path you are walking all to well...& will support, read & respond to your post....keep your chin up is what my nanny would command me to do...& persevere life is short s

I always had an issue with food.I ate for any reason you could name.Trouble is I really enjoy food. It was the portion size, the this, the that...I lost 70 pounds when I was 56. I really looked great. I have gained half back, and now due to physical issues am trying to loose at least 10 pounds. My worse time in the whole world is at night. I am alone, bored, and tired and I want to eat anything that is not nailed down. I specifically have little in the house but still can find something to munch on...!
It continues to remain my never ending battle. You are so not alone. Be a good idea if we started a forum for compulsive overeaters!!! Also seems the more we think about it the more anxiety we create in ourselves, and the more we eat....I know I am that way.

bebop, thank you for your support. I go see my T tomorrow afternoon...still havnt done that homework assignment, ugh! I cant even bring myself to do it...write down what I see in that mirror. I mean I know what I see, y do I gotta write it down? Maybe my feelings today are in anticipation of seeing T tomorrow. I like her, my T, but im hating myself at the moment. & miss my children terribly! Food...ive eatten a little, forced myself to do so...y bother! Bebop...u & missbell are on the other side of this eatting thing, I used to be there....now im on the 'low' end,I feel no different about myself, food still beats me up mentally & physically...i still see what I see in the mirror & I hate it, desparate to be at peace...this dont seem it will release me...which brings to mind a song/ video..."wild horses" by natasha bedingfield...look it up on youtube...its good stuff

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
