Leave me a little smackeral of something, won't you?
Go ahead, tell me what you REALLY think:

That line cracked me up. Such an accurate description of my own worst fat nightmare scenario. I hear ya about the constant eating... hunger isn't even a factor for me, either. I can ignore plain old hunger for HOURS if my emotional or craving buttons aren't pushed. The constant shoveling comes from something else, something I think must be very complex, seeing as how I've been battling it for years without making very much headway. So yeah, I feel your pain.

Can I help? I know, I'll start a savings acount the day you start your diet. When you reach your goal I'll take you on a cruise to where ever you want and you can bake in the sun on the "clothing optional" deck to your hearts content. Does that help? Ok. Just tell me what I can do.

I know this isn't going to be a popular answer and I know that is sounds too simple, and it may even piss you off, but I'm your cybersis, so I'm allowed. Get therapy!! You are not eating for survival, you are not eating because you are hungry. There is a reason that you do it. It isn't just because your mouth is handy. I honestly feel when anyone (including myself) has these behaviors that it isn't going to go away until you get to the bottom of it. I am terrified of highway driving and thunderstorms. I went to therapy. I found out that it is because I have no control over the weather or other drivers and evidently, I am a control freak of my own world. I am now able to sit through a thunderstorm without vomiting or making myself look stupid. It helped, really. Love ya.

Re MOTH's suggestion of saving up to buy you a reward: My aunt actually wound up making a tidy little business out of such an arrangement with her husband. At various times he's promise her a sports car, a fur coat, a diamond ring, a remodeled kitchen and I don't remember what-all else as an incentive to lose weight. Each time she reached her goal he delivered the goods, but within a couple of years she'd put the weight right back on. I know she's not regaining the weight on purpose and she's just as upset about it as he is, but it is kind of funny how much she's gained materially from it over the years. :)

AMY - Yeah. I had actually thought of that. But that's ok. You notice I said WE get to go on this cruise.
