Wow - those are some seriously powerful statements you have posted here.
I'm not sure that I can totally relate all of the time to the compulsion of *having* to eat, but I can relate. In fact, I can relate to a lot of what you said.
It makes your blog post all that much more interesting. Why can't you do it? Heck, I quit smoking cold turkey over ten years ago, so why can't I lose weight?! Perhaps it's because we have the attitude that, smoking is bad for you but I *need* to eat to survive.
I wish I had the answers. I think we all do.
You'll hear this from everyone on here, but it's true - you need to plan, you need to take baby steps and you need to not beat yourself if you slip up, but you also can't allow a slip up to snowball into something that equals to failure in your mind.
We're all bound to slip up, but we're all here on SP to support one another.
Please feel free to drop me a note or stop by my page if you need to rant or whatever! :-)
