And once you begin to keep track of what you eat, and HOW MUCH, you start to realize something is not right. I used to think I didn't eat that much, but once I started WW (again) and began tracking, I now realize HOW MUCH I was eating. Sheesh. It's so funny because I used to watch thin people and think to myself "they eat like birds, they need to be eating more than that"! Ha. Now I know why they're thin and I'm not. You're not alone when you say you used food to self-medicate. I think the majority of obese and overweight people use food to comfort themselves and relieve stress.

No wonder I was so overweight. Food was my choice of self-medication - no meds taste as good as chocolate or ice cream or chips. I so understand this post. Even though I have been doing Weight Watchers and exercising since mid-Sept. there are still days I just want to be the Cookie Monster. But, they are now more like once a month versus every day. Just realizing how we view food is helpful in changing our perspective and relationship with food. .-= TooManyHats´s last blog ..<a href="http://toomanyhats.ahiafamily.net/2010/02/monday-menu-mania.html" rel="nofollow">Monday Menu Mania</a> =-.
