Do you have a problem with food?

This series of questions may help you determine if you are
a compulsive overeater.
I am sorry to admit for me its about 14/15

I gladly admit I answer YES to many. It was not till I took my disease of addiction seriously, that I really got desperate enough to put recovery above all else.

Now I am able to eat to a plan, every day since April 2006, with one day off, that I can begin to deal with the aspects of my life that I was avoiding by compulsive eating.

Yup, i'm definitely and over-eater. Something clicked in me when i started CD though and i haven't cheated once. I haven't been this disciplined in years and i'm just wondering where the sudden change has come from. I think it's because i know that food will always be there and i won't be on CD forever. I'm gonna get such a buzz from slimming down though, that when i get to goal i won't want to eat crap to fill that hole. It's all very exciting! Huge congrats to Finchy for reaching goal, to Maz for her huuuuge loss and to all the other ladies who are strides ahead of me and doing brilliantly. :j Just can't wait til it's me! x x

Morning all. Hope everyone is ok.

Haven’t been on because I have been so ill – had the most horrific stomach cramps and had to go to hospital – I thought I was having a baby lol!

Anyways, how you all doing?

I haven’t read through the posts I missed, so well done to anyone who has lost weight since last week.

Hi bounce and Alpha - Yes I am better now. I had a water infection so have tablets for that and they also think I was passing kidney stones!!! It was worse than childbirth - i never want that pain again.

Alpha - I haven't seen your pics yet as I can't get facebook in work, but I will have a nosy when I get home. Hope your day was as special as you wanted it to be.

Snaggles

Well done goldfinch!! :T :T

(Land_of)_Maz

ooooh looks like everyone is coming back!

goldie - well done on getting to goal babes! i would love to hear how the maintainence goes.... i'm a way to go yet but i am dreading it already.... in fact i'm absolutely carping myself!!

Welshy - ouch ouch ouch! good to have you back... the kidney stones weren't CD related were they?

Hi Maz - It did cross my mind - I had a lecture from the doctor in A&E about how high the ketones in my urine were! I thought this was a good thing, but apparantly not.

I have the water infection because I am not drinking enough apparantly and I have to be honest I have only been drinking 1 glass of water a day the past couple of weeks.

The doctor said she couldn 't say if it was the CD that had done this to me, but she said I have to be sensible and that not eating isn't very good and all the usual lectures you get from people. I'm not giving up though. I have such a long way to go, but I have decided that I will be doing SS+ a few days a week, as I think the shakes were taking their toll on me.

Goldie - Hope you are not going to leave us now you are at goal. You will have to stay here and spur us all on.
