Hey everyone.

I'm brand new. I need some support and I was wondering if I could get it here.

I'm miserable. I used to be 36-25-36 but now who knows...at the height of my physical hotness which was not long ago, I looked good....breast implants...bebe clothing. However, I decided to put my priorities in order and be a good mother instead...because I could weigh 100 pounds and it wouldn't be enough for my narcissistic husband...you can't run around trying to look like a celebrity for your sexually addicted/judgmental husband and raise happy normal kids at the same time unless you have hired help...etc, etc. etc.

Needless to say, I have gotten extremely depressed, because I don't work outside the home anymore, I have lupus, most of the time I'm in pain, and the house is a mess. I absolutely can't stand my husband and we never get close any more....I have turned to food for the only sensual experience in my life and in doing so have gained 20 pounds and would like to get some help through support before I gain any more. I also just had a steroid shot which also puts a damper on the weight thing. Oh yeah, and I feel as though my life is completely out of control.

Yes, I know this is a case for a psychiatrist and not a support group, I'm going to one next month, but in the mean time, is there any way I could join in so that when I'm feeling weak, AT NIGHT, daytime is no problem, then maybe I could come and talk to you folks instead.

Thank you in advance....

P.S. I love exercise, I just don't do enough of it...I eat, eat, eat, at night...and pray I don't feel bigger in the morning....that never works.
Need some tricks, because if you go to bed hungry or without gorging, you always feel better in the morning...it's just getting passed those evening hours.
 
welcome tot he forum i think you can find the support ya want here! you need to start you a diary and also we have clubs and challenges you are welcome to join as well!!
 
i agree with Red, as much as yes, a psychiatrist and family counseling (?) may be in order...we are here to support you in your weight loss journey. we all have the ups and downs and this forum is great to find answers, support and merely to vent. welcome!

do you have a plan? eating/exercisign?
 
I wish I had some tricks to help you with, but I really don't. I know what you mean, though. Evenings are the hardest for me too. I've always just eaten whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted, and most of my food was always eaten at night. So now I eat dinner (always by 6 pm), and I'll only myself one snack afterwards before I go to bed unless I go to bed early. If I don't go to bed until around 11 or midnight then I allow myself one snack like fat-free yogurt or fruit. However, if I'm not that hungry then I won't eat anything. At 1st it's hard, but you'll get used to it once your stomach starts shrinking. I hope this helps at least some!
 
Sounds like you and I have the same type of husband....:mad: Forget about him and be selfish for a while. Do it for you and you alone. I wish you all the luck in the world. I know how hard it is when you don't have the support of the one person you need it from most. I try to find strength thru prayer and exercise. I play a lot of tennis and it's totally theraputic for me. Find something that is theraputic for you whether it be exercise or reading books or whatever. Reading is an escape for me.
Keep us all posted on your progress.

<3 Liz
