Heather,
Hang in there. Try to eat something that makes you feel full. Or, if you don't have problems with gas and bloating, try chewing some gum to keep your mouth busy.

you ren't weak- you'll find the right balance soon enough- I have found if I keep things totally away for good then I binge on them over time.. so instead its an occasional treat... and that especially includes chocolate- I'm happy with one piece once a week now because its all GOOD stuff instead of the stuff I was doing!

I am seriously scared that I'm going to become diabetic. No one believes how much sugar and candy I eat during the day until they actually see me eat it. Example - I ate an entire 2 pound bag of skittles today...and a box of gobstoppers....and I have sugar in my oatmeal....and teddy grahams....and I'm sure I'm fogetting much more. I can tolerate it, and it is a total addiction. I don't know how to stop!!!! I just hate that I can't have chocolate, so this is my way of compensating!!
I need help. I'd probalby drop 5 pounds in a few days if I stopped the sugar, but it seems impossible...

I a feeling a little better now!! When I made the post I had just eaten dinner and was still hungry and looking for more food!! UUUGGG!!! So I started making the candy I need to donate for the craft and bake sale at kenna's school!!! It took my mind right off food!! I think part of the problem is I have been stuck in the house with a sick kid!!! I am getting bored and filling the time by filling my mouth with food!!! I hope I can get back on track soon!! I think my tummy is about to give me no choice!!!
i haven't had a bm in three days!!!

Heather,
My best defense against eating lots of junk is to not have it in the house. If I have it in the house, I will eat it. If I don't have it, I won't make a special trip to go buy junk. I also don't buy foods that are already prepared or bad snacky foods. If I can grab a cookie or chips or something quick, then I eat more during the day. But if I have to think about it and actually prepare something, then I don't eat as much. I always have a bag of carrots, dried fruit, fresh fruit, bread, etc. so if I need a snack I will automatically choose something healthy. I also try to find other things to do...sewing, reading, playing games with the girls, anything to keep my occupied. Good luck with your diet.

I'm with you on this! I too over eat at times! I know last week I was eating LOTS of candy! But every time I ate it I felt nauseated, dizzy and got a headache. So that pretty much stopped me from eating it! I get bored so I eat candy. Or after I eat lunch I want something sweet.
I would say the best way not to eat it is throw it out! I don't buy the stuff, but if it's laying around I have a REALLY hard time ignoring it!
I keep thinking about the holidays and bracing myself for all the food. I DON'T want to gain weight either. As you know I'm TTC. I gained SO much weight with my last pregnancy that I don't want to next time around. In fact I want to just gain 25 at the most. So I keep on telling myself "if I eat this I may gain weight and then it will be all the more when I do get PG"
I'm a small framed girl...5'5 usually 110-112 I was 167 by the time a gave birth to my DD!!! WOW!! That was big for me!!!! Luckley I drop down to smaller than I start out....but I CANT do that again!!!!
So I'm having the same thoughts as you....don't want to gain weight!!!
Sorry....I went off!!! I'm glad my kids Halloween candy is almost gone...all that's left are things I don't care for!!!

Thanks to both of you

I also sent the left over candy to work with my H. I may as well have walked around the house witht he m&m's bag around my neck,, I finally felt sick and pulled out all of the hidden candy and it leaves in the a.m.
I am starting to feel bad, mentally and physically, I am mad at myself for all of the binging, I dont want to gain back my weight either and I am now about 5-8lbs larger. I have to do something to get myself into control, if I dont, when Spring comes back around what am I going to do? I dont like myself when I over eat like this.
Wed. is my son's birthday and I offered to cook, what the heck am I going to cook, H suggested Manicotti, doesn't he realize that I can't eat that stuff???? ITs just not fair to have to cook it and not be able to eat it. Not sure what to cook yet, I may go ahead and just have a bowl of rice with sweet peas while they are eating Manicotti and Garlic Bread.
Good Luck Heather!!

I hear girls!! I was just getting back into my exercise routine when I fell and hurt my foot. Now its going to be over a month before I can even walk let alone work out!! And since I have to rely on hubby for food, beggers can't be choosers!! I had gained a lot of weight with the recent miscarriages and depression and feel FAT!! In fact, I'm going on line today to see if I can order some of those Gap low rise jeans some of you girls were talking about. I've never worn jeans from the gap but mine are too small and its not like I can run over to the mall and try some on so I hope they fit!!
I know I ate my share of candy this weekend and now I'm craving it. I know once I make it past the craving part it won't be so hard. If I don't eat "junk" for a while than I don't crave it as much!!

Chewing gum actually makes me more hungry!! All that chewing and nothing going into my tummy!! I try to keep a water bottle at hand and drink more water. The only problem then is I've got to pee more and its like a major event for me to hobble to the bathroom with my crutches and it gets my foot to throbbing when its not up for even 5 minutes!

I just pulled a water bottle out of my tote bag he packed this morning for me and I found a hershey chocolate bar in there with a note saying "feel better soon!" Doesn't help with the weight lose one little bit but it was awful sweet of him! So now I'm sitting here looking at this yummy chocolate bar, salavating over it and feeling bad for being fat! Whats a girl to do???

Eddie Bauer has some really nice low-rise jeans as well. I think they're about $35.
