...See more Until about a week ago I didn't realize that there was a term for my problem with food.  I have been reading about it and realized that this is definitely me. In the past I have tried several times to get to a healthy weight.  Sometimes I actually manage it, but usually due to illness, I get off track and end up back where I am now.  So I am going to try again starting today. My husband is wonderful person but is also addicted to sweets and rich foods.  So each time I attempt to eat better he continues to eat normally and I end up feeling deprived.  This is not his fault.  Totally mine in the fact that I can't seem to control it.  It is just hard having the foods around that tempt me. I have asked him to get on board with me, eating right, etc.  He refuses.  So I am faced with the challenge of always being around trigger foods but trying to maintain a healthy balance and not binge.  I have realized it's not really what I eat that is the problem.  It is the amount, I eat.  I won't eat all day long and then, suddenly I realize I am hungry, and then eat for 2 hours straight.  I am embarrassed to write that down but I need to say it to someone. I was just wondering if you guys had any helpful tips for me since I will always be around the foods that I really need to cut back on. My goal is to eat 4 meals a day, so that my blood sugar (hoping that is the right term) stays as even as possible.  I am going to concentrate on planning out those meals.  Then the biggest problem of all, is not eating after dinner.  That is what makes me fail EVERY single time.  So I am going to try and come up with some ideas of how to deal with it when I have the cravings, or the urge, or whatever, to binge after dinner. I need to be accountable so I figured I could say it here since I have no one else to talk to about it.

Patience for myself

...See more I was told tonight that I need to have patience for myself....I have patience for my kids and my family but not for myself.  Even though I try and help myself constantly, I get angry that I can't make my OCD and Anxiety and Depression go away.   How do I learn to have patience for myself?  I seriously need an answer to this.  How do I allow myself to take breaks and not get angry at myself for messing up or not being very productive?

...See more I go through patterns of being healthy and great, and then go through times where it is a struggle to get out of bed and get dressed for the day.   Sometimes I wish someone would give me an instruction manual on what to do each day so that I knew what was important and could complete those tasks.  I have OCD and ADD.  I am all over the place with my ADD but once I get locked onto something my OCD takes over and I can spend hours doing one activity that should have only taken 10 minutes. So here is my suggestion and I am hoping others out there will encourage me.  I would like to start a thread where people share their accomplishments for the day.  Big or little, doesn't matter. You can put things like, I got out of bed and took a shower, or I painted a whole room today.  I made dinner and got all the dishes done!  Or just anything to keep each other motivated.  Sometimes the hardest part of getting out of my slump is figuring out what I need to do, so that I can make myself get up and do it. Focus on 10 minutes, what can you do in 10 minutes?  What can I do that will help myself or my family in just 10 minutes?  What can I do that will help myself get ready for tomorrow, or be ahead for tomorrow in just 10 minutes?  What can I do for 10 minutes that will make me feel better?   Anyone up for it?

...See more I keep trying to write a post about myself and I can't.   My OCD tells me everything I say is bad or no one will understand.  I'm just crazy and instead of keeping it locked up in my head, I am going to tell people?   So I guess, just keep me in your thoughts.  I am trying and that is all I can do right now.
