jamyjamjr, here is how my typical day is. I wake up at 4:30 to get ready to be to work by 6:00am. I do not have breakfast. I will wait till about 8:00 am and grab a breakfast burrito which consits off egg, sausage, potato and cheese. I dont drink soda or juice, just never really have. I drink tons of milk and water. At lunch time I usually do not eat, but if I do I grab something off the roach coach like tacos or tamales or another burrito. I would say 80% of the time I do not eat. After work i am usualy in a hurry and will grab a burger and fries and meet the kids for practice or take care of other things I may need to. About 8:00pm when we finally get home and everything is taken care of I will sit down for dinner. I know my diet is terrible and as I go on, its quite embarassing and rediculous, but dinner is the worst. I will eat whatever is made and dont care. Lastnite I had 3 pieces of fried chicken, potato salad, coleslaw, 2 biscuits. I then ate about 6 cookies and big glass of milk.

That is my typical day. Terrible and ashamed

80% of the time you do not eat?

I think you eat more frequently than you advertise and you probably intake more than you realize as well. Because your weight is not a mistake and it didn't take place overnight.

Odds are that you have a very intimate relationship with food. This type of behavior is very common with those that are depressed in a certain area of their life. We often turn to things that make us feel good and the habit then becomes a guilty pleasure.

So what do you do? Well, you could remove the amounts and types of foods that you're struggling with at this time. But if you're turning to food because you're wounded inside, then choosing to address only the food is not going to make things better. You've got to get down to the root of the problem before you attempt to address the things that are obvious on the surface.

I challenge you to surrender to your fear and address all of the wounds that exist in your life today. Because sugarcoating the truth will continue to fuel your pride. And you cannot be successful in self improvement if you're a prideful person.
