Hello Kathy. My name is Kimi. I just joined the group. Seems like no one else responded to your shout out on the 28th. Are we the only 2 in the eating disorder group? I'd love to get to know you. Kimi
Hi Kimi. Pleased to hear from you...and no, I don't think we're the only two out here with foodie problems. A little about me. I am married; no kids; two lovable black Labs! I love the Lord, but struggle with food problems; mostly overeating, binging, emotional/boredom eating. This year I hope to lose more weight and some clothing sizes...and to feel better and be able to move more easily. God is good. He knows what's under my skin that makes me do this rather than call upon him...I am now trying to figure it out, with some assistance from a counselor. Write and tell me about you! Take care for now and God richly bless you! Kathy
HI guys!
I've been struggling with ED's since I've been 15.
I've been needing more face to face support then ever. Tommorrow I will be visiting I new group ( very little has been available up to this point) I'm looking forward to it.
This holiday season has certainly not been without struggles, I'm dealing with the recent lose of my mom and lot of home/marriage struggles. I feel like I've been slowly getting more depressed over the last few weeks-I hope this goes away soon.
I struggle also with eating out of boredom, loneliness, frustration, you name it and I will eat. Mostly, to get away from the pain I don't want to feel or go to. But I need to really deal with this issue. It is controlling me and not me controlling it.
I love the Lord and He has healed many areas in my life. I feel like EVE, I know not to but rebel and eat it anyway. It doesn't even have to taste very good. My mother was a baker and feeding people was her love language. I am 63 now and have 6 children together with my husband. We have 20 grandchildren and about 12 great grandchildren. I am blessed. But I need to get my life in balance and food is not the answer, but it is a quick and tasty one. Help me to be accountable.
Rudy, I hope your still checking in too. Casey, my interest is peeked by your comment about the "unmet needs" that still make us seek comfort in food. I am still binging and purging and feel so stupid for it. I have a loving husband and three beautiful children. They try my patience, but I still know they are a blessing and I love them very much. I feel like I should be grateful enough to God for His blessings that I take better care of my life. I don't understand what my problem is. I feel so stupid like I am never going to get it?! Any thoughts? Kimi
