gibbymcgee21 added an entry about lose weight : It’s sad that food can consume so much of a person’s thoughts, sometimes completely overwhelmingly. I’m sad that it has become such a coping mechanism for me in dealing with my frustrations and insecurities, but I think I’m starting to feel better about it, ten pounds later of course. I just need to get to the point where I can respect myself again. But ultimately, I need to have healtier habits, which are so hard to develop. I’d like to develop a healthier, more stable relationship with food…I’m a vegan and don’t eat very unhealthily…just A LOT , especially when I’m upset or stressed out or seemingly for no reason at all. Does anyone else have this problem???? How have you learned to get through it? In reality, while losing the weight I’ve gained is the short term goal, I need to change some habits that I’ve held on to for way to long. so here we go (deep breath)..... it’s always frightning to come to terms with what’s inside your head. sw:125 gw:115
