[COLOR="Blue"]Addictions, whether they be drugs, alcohol or food must be overcome in the same way. First, you have to detox from the drug (i.e., get it out of your system), and then get help to kick the habit and beat it so it does not continue to control you.
I have tried so many different diets that I could probably be a spokesperson for all of them! Unfortunately, I am a carbaholic and a compulsive overeater. I just can't be on any type of diet that is low fat, high fiber, high carb. Maybe it's my genetic make-up, maybe it's my blood type. I just know, though, that I can only lose weight through a low-carb diet such as DANDR.
I've spend probably thousands of dollars on diet plans and never succeded. I've watched others on these programs succeed, only to stop and gain all of their weight back. Heck, I gained ALL of my weight back after I went off this WOE that I have chosen for myself. I can't afford to quit or stop this time. I have to do this for myself and most importantly for my health.
Being 350+ pounds at one time in my 20's was not acceptable. No one should be that big. Yes, it's overeating, but there's alot more to it. Emotional eating is a big problem I have. I eat when I need comfort, I eat when I'm stressed, I eat when I'm feeling depressed, and heck, I even eat (most of the time), when I'm not even hungry!
It's time for me to stop this cycle of overeating, changing diet plans, going back to atkins, weighing myself after a week and getting frustrated; going off, getting back into ketosis, going off, etc. This time, it's personal. I'm not stopping for nothing! I look forward to sharing this journey with anyone who would like to listen. I believe one day I will beat this and then be able to help others overcome their obesity problem. Right now I just have to take it one low-carb meal at a time![/COLOR]
