Yesterday was actually a good day. I stuck to the daily calorie amount, but I felt really empty and hollow and sad at the end of the day! (it wasn't hormonal...) I think its a spiritual thing, but its definitely connected to my desire to fill that hollowness with FOOD! I'm just too lazy and distracted to do anything spiritual about it- but I just feel like I'm going to need an ADDICTION to replace over-eating, isn't that strange?

Today's a "Pizza Day" at my work. I have never, in the four years working here, have missed my free pizza on pizza day. Today, who knows? I am decidedly against it now, but at 12:30 will I have the will power? :shrug:

Hi maplady. Glad yesterday was a good day for you. Thats super.

Your post got me thinking about what ive done in the past couple years to get where I am. If i tend to ramble on here, I apologize. :) Sad hallow feelings in our lives..wanting to fill them with food.. I've lived that. We all have. What are the issues that turned us to food in the first place? Without knowing why we are overeating, we will just keep in that vicious cycle. You mentioned an addiction, to replace overeating. At first I tried to replace it with excessive exercising..i think that was an addiction of sorts.....that was so wrong.....replacing it is not the way to go. It was just replacing one vice for another. It didnt solve any of the problems in my life. So dig in deep, take a good look inside. Keep a journal of your thoughts and work thru the problems. Thats the answer. Figure out the "why". It will lead to a healthy balance in your life.

Good luck with the pizza today.

Make it a great day!! :)

:wave: :wave: Thanks lindasue, I will start a journal, no matter how boring it will be to read later :)
