I think I am making head way but at this point it is through setting rules for myself. I want to get to the place where I can deal with life – disappointments, anger, etc without turning to one of these things, or wanting to turn to one of these things for comfort. I know that if I didn’t have the rules I have in place right now, I’d be eating and spending away.
...they wouldn’t be “addictions” – right? I think you’ve got to be a little easier on yourself. I think you’re doing a great job to have even begun to implement rules for yourself. Rules will turn into habit, and one day you’ll wake up and realize that you’ve changed for the better. So many women fight this fight. Good luck! Remember, by confronting it, you’ll most likely inspire others to be brave enough to do the same.
Thanks for your comment – it’s great to get some outside input and perspective. When you are involved in teh personal day to day struggle, it sometimes doesn’t seem like you are making progress but I believe that I am changing and I really do hope that as people see the changes in me, they will be inspired. Thank you for your encouragement.
