Comments on: Fear of the Thin http://weight-loss.co.nz/page/fear-of-the-thin/ Hi my name is Liz and I have lost about 80kg/175lb Tue, 27 Jul 2010 22:01:40 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: Romula http://weight-loss.co.nz/page/fear-of-the-thin/comment-page-1/#comment-90 Romula Thu, 27 May 2010 13:09:06 +0000 http://weight-loss.semisite.com/?p=58#comment-90 OMG!! This really struck a nerve with me because everytime I seem to make headway with my weightloss I always end up sabotaging my own efforts and end up weighing more than when I started! A very depressing cycle I have to say. Thanks for providing this article for us to read. OMG!!

I wish to God i could understand why that statement is a trigger. I will do so well on a diet and then it comes, someone says i look great and i find myself on a four day binge and gain 5 pounds in a week. In the back of my head i am saying help me and please make it stop, yet i can't and i feel 10 times worse than before. This has been a lifelong struggle, if you find an answer can you pass it on. I'll do the same for you. Laura, i am completely with you! I wish to God i could understand why that statement is a trigger.

Why do you panic when somebody says you look good? is there a reason behind that or unsure? Sounds like you need to deal with that before you try to loose weight. In the end however, its you who lets yourself panic and re-gain the weight. And its you who makes the excuse to re-gain it. If you know you have this panic then perhaps you can put something in place so that when you hear or see this, make sure the house has no junk food, you are unable to binge no matter how much. I guess what I'm saying is treat yourself as that naughty child that needs discipline and there is only one person to do it. You may want to sign up the forum as others may have a similar problem and better ideas than me. I can only talk as a person on the outside looking in as I dont have this problem (I found it more motivating to be told i looked good!) I do wish you luck though, i hope you succeed and find your path. ouch thats not so good. Why do you panic when somebody says you look good? is there a reason behind that or unsure?

I have known for at least seven of these twenty years that is my panic that triggers the return of the lost pounds. Before we start dieting we need to ensure that we are not setting ourselves up in this loop of failure that certainly I have been travelling in for the last twenty years. I want out of the doom cycle and I want out of it now!!!! HELP!!!!!
