i’m barely 5’3″ and 158 lbs…YIKES. my BMI says that i should be around 120-125, but i would be perfectly happy being 130-135.
i’ve complained about my weight since i was ten. i say i’m going on a diet, and it usually only lasts a couple days..max. it’s as if there is nothing i can tell myself to stop my binging. i’ve been bulimic and anorexic and i don’t want to go down that route anymore. i’ve even tried eating those five small meals a day that everyone is raving about, but i still act as if i’m starved at the sight of junk food. i’ve tried making myself a journal, in which i wrote down 50+ reasons why i want to lose weight. i drink 6+ 16-oz water bottles a day and have for probably two years now.
i’m to the point of complete exasperation and disappointment in myself. there is nothing i want more right now than to lose those 25 pounds. no one around me believes in me anymore, cause i always talk about how i’m going to slim down, and here i am still chubby and miserable ha.
does anybody know of anything i can tell myself right before reaching for that double cheeseburger or that box of oreos?
i have mindless eating syndrome and i need a cure quick!
thankyou !
you’re right, i know my weaknesses very well, i just need to learn to get past them. and all i ever hear about water is drink, drink, drink! so that does make sense, that if i drink less my stomach won’t be so bloated.
but yeah, i think i’m going to have to have my roommates hide the chocolate!
thanks again (:
nalfred,
that does make sense. for the past two years this has been all i think about, and i’ve actually GAINED about ten lbs. ugh life isn’t fair! but i’m gonna have to buckle down and get this show on the road if i ever want to be healthy and lose this weight.

you understand yourself well. Many people recommend weight watchers. I would not put myself in a position to see oreos or think about oreos. Lots of cut up veggies in the fridge, no cookies in the house at all.
I think you are drinking too much water and it is making your stomach larger. In the winter you can drink 4 x 10 oz of water if you are not exercising. You want to shrink the stomach so you feel full with less food. You can do this, write down everything you eat as you eat it. Good luck, you will do this in 2009, believe in yourself.
Fist off, every time a person goes on a diet and relapses, their body adds a few pounds as an anti-starvation measure. It perceives the diet as a threat. Anther failed diet, a few more pounds, and so on. That’s reality. If I were you, I’d ask a Dr. or someone knowledgeable about diets to find one that you an live with for a lifetime. Instead of ores, eat some fruit or vegetables. Anything worktable is worth the sacrifice. Ask any obese person how many diets they hav tried and add 3-5 pounds accumulated from each failure. No one said that life is fair.
