I've been wondering what you've been up to! I haven't read any posts from you lately. It's funny how a person gets on the Cathe forums and becomes familiar with the different people and it's almost like you know them, even though you have never even had a conversation with them. I don't post a lot, but I sure get a lot of useful information and inspiration.
I will be waiting to see if you get any good suggestions on this post. I have no problem working out, but I can't seem to control my eating. Love, love, love my sugar and carbs.
I seem to be able to go a week or two eating properly...and then BAM..I just start eating sugar, and I can't quit.

There are several on Amazon with reviews.
If you pull up one, they recommend other books with similar synopsis.

Thanks, everybody! And thanks for the PMs. You all are the B.E.S.T.
Thanks to these boards, I've met some of my dearest friends. I've 'met' so many others that offer unending support and compassion, not to mention the advice and knowledge you all bring.
I've been dealing with a lot these last 2 months or so. Kids, school, work, boyfriend, house and yard, my parents and my mom's cancer. And next week is the 4 year mark of DH's passing. It's all building up and sometimes, it's just so much for one person to handle. But I'm handling it best I can...and that's all I can do.
On the bright side, I sat down last night after posting this request. I worked up my workout for this AM and when I woke up at 4:45 this morning, I felt like a whole new person. Like that black cloud has lifted and gone elsewhere. I'll take it!
THANKS everybody! I'm going to make a concerted effort to stay present on the boards for a while, as that really helps to keep my focus!

Hi Gayle...I know we've never spoken on a personal level on the boards but I just wanted to say it's great to see you back. I've always enjoyed your presence here. You are a strong and compassionate person. I can also say that I can relate to your struggle with emotional eating. I've battled with severe depression and anxiety my whole adult life and unfortunately I'm not one of those people who lose their appetite when things really start to build up.
I'll be thinking of you this next week as the anniversary of your DH's passing approaches. I lost my younger sister in 2000 when she was killed by a drunk driver and understand just how difficult it is when these dates arrive (birthdays also).
You know I always find it ironic that I have a hard time staying consistent with my presence here on the board. I'll post for a few days and then fall off the planet for a month sometimes two But like you said, the support and compassion you receive here is irreplaceable. I even find myself expressing my sense of humor that I usually keep buried WAY DOWN deep underneath.
I've probably said too much but I just wanted to let you know that you're not alone and that I hope that black cloud stays lifted and completely dissipates into thin air

Hey Gayle, there is also one called Intuitive Eating which is really good.
