self revalation

I find that when some horrible thing is happening I get almost nauseated from the stress, and then a
few days later, I want to eat the world. So I watch out for the aftermath now.

I had a cat for six months, and then my landlord made me get rid of her. I thought I could get away
w/ it since other ppl in the building are. I was so sad when I came home and she's not here anymore.
I missed her a lot that first week. Now I'm getting a little more used to it, but I still miss her.
One of my friends took her though so I can visit, but I think that'll be hard. Good Job with finding
alternatives to emotional eating!!! I found that when I follow the program I'm eating healthier and
my cravings and urges to emotionally eat are gone. Even though I've only been on the program a
couple weeks my cravings for sugary stuff are gone! I find that if I eliminate most of the sweets
from my diet it takes care of those urges, most of the time anyways.

Hi, Lee, I found that I binge when I went to a certain WW meeting! I can't think why this should be.
The woman who leads is a wonderful, sweet person but when I leave that meeting, I spend the next two
days eating and eating. I finally had to find a different meeting and now, I seem to be more in
control and on program. It came as a surprise when I went over my journals and realized this.

I don't think that I ever have gone through "binge" eating. I do have uncontrollable munchies some
nights while watching TV. I have not figured out if it is because I am bored or over tired that
causes me to eat at night. If I am upset about something I might not make the best choices while we
are eating out because maybe at that point in time I don't care about things. I'll have to think
about this one a little more. Interesting idea.

I don't think I was really surprised, but WW certainly crystallised a few
things I always deep down knew about myself:

1. I eat when I'm bored. If there's no-one around and I've got nothing interesting to do, I'll go
raid the cupboard. I need to find a hobby 🙂

2. My stomach is on a military timer. It knows when it should be getting food and complains
mightily if it doesn't get it within about a 30 minute window. This means I have to plan if I'm
going to be out around my stomach's "meal window". If I miss the window, then I a) have no idea
what I want to eat and can walk around aimlessly for what seems like hours not being able to
decide on anything and b) am grumpy and miserable the whole time I'm looking for food. I need to
decide what I want *before* I get to the grumpy and miserable stage!

I hope the kitty adoption goes OK Lee. It really is amazing how attached we get to the little
creatures.

I know where you're coming from. I think I'm going through something similar right now, but not due
to a pet. As you know we're renovating our store. During the day I do well staying OP, because I've
got tons to do, but in the evenings when DH and DS have gone to bed, I get all worked up about
things at the store, thinking about things I need to do there, or how to do them, or when.., etc.,
etc... Next thing I know I'm in the fridge, or I've eaten a bunch of chocolate or something! I hate
stressful stuff! Aaarrrggg!! Can't wait until all the renos are over and everything's organized!

My eating patterns are nothing new to me, have known my problems for many years. I also do not eat
when stressed or upset, my stomach can't handle it. (I clean when upset - lol) I am a pure and
simple boredom eater. If I am totally bored, can't find anything I want to get into - then I
constantly wander into the kitched to check out the offerings. I'm more concious of it now, so am
able to keep it under better control. I still may go and look, but I realize why and walk away. Food
isn't going to keep me busy long enough to solve the boredom.

Hi Lee,

First of all I think it's wonderful that you are a fostermom. I am considering it after we move in
to our house but am wondering if I will have enough time to spend with the animals since I'm at work
from 8-4:30 M-F and also some evenings, maybe 4-5 times a month? Then that makes me think "how much
fun would a dog have if we did adopt one for our own if we were both at work all day long?" Well,
something to think about I guess.

Anyway, I'm so happy for your little fosterkitty. Service animals are so very special. 🙂 You did do
the right thing, but I'm sorry you got so attached. I think that would be the hard part too, me
getting attached to dogs and having to say goodbye to them all the time. But at the same time being
so happy that you are placing them in their forever home. *sigh*

Relating back to WW, interesting revelation you had. I would never not be able to eat I think. I'm
too much of a binger. 🙁 But it's good that you realized that... I think I am a very emotional
eater. And I tend to eat the night after weigh in to celebrate (like last night) and I don't know
why I DO that since I'm doing SO well... but now I think I better just stick to my guns and eat
healthy the rest of the week. It's a vicious cycle.

It seems that it is a better thing. Now that I know my metabolism is
screwed up from not eating enough on too many crash diets and now with this
revelation I can try and make sure I eat even when upset. I decided that I

I never got the chance to fully check into the service animal part of it.
Toni goes to meet his new people today. As far as being a foster mom I have
no choice really. This little guy was too sick to take to a shelter. I
think there is a sign on our house that the cats can read and I think it
would be a sin to ignore an innocent creature. As far as you working and
fostering or having an animal I will give you two things to think about. If
you did fostering with an official shelter they would give you animals that
would fit your lifestyle. If you decided on getting a cat they are
perfectly happy to be alone if you have two of them and if you are willing
to take a special needs dog or cat they are fine alone since most special
needs animals are abused and prefer small contact with humans. relating it
back to losing weight, if you are not sure what type of dog you would like
go to a local shelter and volunteer to walk some dogs for them one or two
days a week, you WILL get a workout and meet a variety of dogs, Lee, bracing
herself for toni's adventure at five this evening. Lee

work all day long?" Well, something to think about I guess.

Anyway, I'm so happy for your little fosterkitty. Service animals are so very special. 🙂 You did
do the right thing, but I'm sorry you got so attached. I think that would be the hard part too, me
getting attached to dogs and having to say goodbye to them all the time. But at the same time
being so happy that you are placing them in their forever home. *sigh*

Relating back to WW, interesting revelation you had. I would never not be able to eat I think. I'm
too much of a binger. 🙁 But it's good that

we took him for his first visit and things went really well. I just have to
decide if this is what is best for him. It is killing me and DH, thanks for
your concern, Lee

I don't think I was really surprised, but WW certainly crystallised a few things I always deep
down knew about myself:

1. I eat when I'm bored. If there's no-one around and I've got nothing interesting to do, I'll go
raid the cupboard. I need to find a hobby 🙂

2. My stomach is on a military timer. It knows when it should be getting food and complains
mightily if it doesn't get it within about a 30 minute window. This means I have to plan if
I'm going to be out around my stomach's "meal window". If I miss the window, then I a) have no
idea

I want to eat and can walk around aimlessly for what seems like hours not being able to decide on
anything and b) am grumpy and miserable the whole time I'm looking for food. I need to decide what
I want *before* I get to the grumpy and miserable stage!

I hope the kitty adoption goes OK Lee. It really is amazing how attached

Self employment sure can be stressful! It's funny because people sometimes say things like "Oh, you
work for yourself, so you have no worries" or "you must have lots of money because you own the
company", etc., etc. Drives me nuts! The one good thing about being self employed is that you have
no one to answer to but yourself! At the moment the rest of it sucks!
