Medusa~ I appreciate the overshare I try to remind myself all the time that I am allowed to treat myself. When I post in here that it is a life style change and we do this in real life, well I post it as a reminder to myself lol I talk my way through it!

My sister shares in this struggle with me. When we hang out...it is a DISASTER. Once I have one deliciously terrible meal, it is like I have unleashed something in me. The domino effect strikes and I feel like I am back at square one.

I have been feeling a little emotional lately and trying at all costs to avoid the binge. Why is this so hard? And Why is it such a comfort? Self-Soothe is the perfect way to describe it because it is. The worst part of it all, if I do over eat then I feel twice as bad. I feel sick and ashamed. Blah! Learning to be able to treat myself without over doing is a battle. But acknowledging that it can be done is helping.

Glad we are here to lend an ear (or eyes for reading) and I am glad that there are people out there that share in our struggle. The world is not that lonely anymore

Sorry, thinking outloud. But it helps me to verbalize this all because I relate and for the first time I have found people that understand.

Again, thanks for the overshare! It hit home.
