When I have a really crappy day at work and am stressed almost to the snapping point, I come home and get on my stationary bike after I take the dog for a walk. An hour later, my inner peace has returned and I no longer feel like strangling anyone. :)Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12925617415086523147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21498098.post-61623661166360105192007-02-17T11:14:00.000-05:002007-02-17T11:14:00.000-05:00I can relate to lots here too.

I feel guilty and then i feel panicked by the thought of that being taken away. It's like food has been a hobby for me.<BR/><BR/>To counter this - and it's worked brilliantly - i started a diet diary where i wrote my feelings down before i ate anything so i could see the emotional reason and not repress it with the chemical reaction you get from eating. It's helped me be more honest with myself, and that process basically led me to the world of diet blogs. So i feel like i've come full circle!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21498098.post-84359700060407034392007-02-17T10:24:00.000-05:002007-02-17T10:24:00.000-05:00Food addict, that's a good term - no one uses it. ...Food addict, that's a good term - no one uses it. I feel like I plan my days around food. Like if I'm away from it for too long, I may starve to death. When I leave the house, I think to myself - it's ok, Burger King is on the way. It's almost comforting to know I'm not too far from a 'food fix.' I know that I also eat instead of coping with feelings...I'm trying to work on that, it is the hardest thing ever!Overhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03774860743390606835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21498098.post-42866274050780346092007-02-15T18:20:00.000-05:002007-02-15T18:20:00.000-05:00thinking about food is like breathing to me, and j...thinking about food is like breathing to me, and just like you, it would be great to be like everybody else who just never think of food. that's why i have diagnosed myself to be a food addict. it's honestly like an alcoholic addiction or something.mayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09241471277723030930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21498098.post-90419481894879458422007-02-14T19:27:00.000-05:002007-02-14T19:27:00.000-05:00I really do understand how you feel as I feel this...I really do understand how you feel as I feel this way all the time. It's hard to celebrate anything isn't it without food being involved. But when it's a snow day, everyone goes out and gets all snacky. <BR/><BR/>I've been having PMS and eating. So I've been having the 100-calorie grasshopper cookies by Keebler. I'm trying to learn how to cope with my feelings and not stuff them down with food. It's painful at times. But it's necessary.Lori G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02167055316077502640noreply@blogger.com
