    exercise great/eat terrible?

    Thanks Shopgirl, I think you hit the nail on the head. I need to recognize when i'm starting to lose control and then find an evasive activity. I think Dr. Phil says that there are only a limited amount of times that that happens in a day. Something around 3 or 4. Got to find my...

    exercise great/eat terrible?

    I really relate to your response Kim. Food is such a soothing great thing in my life. I have so many other difficult things to deal with. It makes no sense to take away one thing that gives me so much temporary pleasure. It gives me a high like nothing else. I need that high too. It makes the...
