Still Sick

I won't be going to New York this week as planned. I am sicker than a dog. Lots of things still to do. As for eating well .....when  you are constantly coughing food is not that appealing.

Sick Sick Sick

I have been sick for over two weeks. Actually I am tired of being sick. I typically am never sick. What's going on with me???

Off to Dr. Oz

They are finalizing my return to the Dr. Oz show. I am not sure I am ready to go back. I have lost a couple of pounds ....around 16. But when you are morbidly obese this is not alot. Yes, I am addressing my binge eating, but really this is over yet. Am I cured...hell no. It took years for me to realize I was an compulsive eater. It certainly isn't going to disappear in a day. I have alot of things to address and I am sure I will fail at some. So haven't even peaked at recovery. Well New York, here I come.

Hungry!!!

How is it a human can be so hungry? I have been contemplating this issue ever since I discovered that I am a binge eater. Is it hunger or is it failure to recognize the other wants and desires in my life. I have used food for so long as a comfort that I confuse the really passion that lays within. Without a passion for life, what else possible could arouse my spirit, but food. I know with further soul searching I may discover the answer. But for now, I must focus on the " one day at a time " theory that I am adjusting to as well.

The After Math

Oh my goodness, should Halloween be outlawed or what. Halloween is to the binger, as New Year Eve is to the alcholic. I can say that I didn't binge on any candy. I even baked cookies, cupcakes, and brownies for our company that come over that night. I stayed in control of my eating and redirected myself every time I ventured to the candy bowl. Now it gets a little and I mean a little easy every day when I focus. I find that I need to have alot of rest and help to stay focused. Every day I am able to look at the reasons why I eat and some how get though the day without binging.
