I have been in a major addictive
cycle of absolute senseless eating
like a maniac for several weeks
now. I don't even care about my
weight, or my health, I just want
to EAT everything and anything
without thought of the
consequences. This is MADNESS, and
I know it!

: I know I am sugar sensitive. I read
: your PNP book many years ago and
: have been on this hamster wheel
: for far too long.

: Most of March and April, and I had
: gotten on a walking routine. I
: walked about 10-15 miles a week. I
: wasnt losing much weight because
: my eating was not as in control as
: it needed to be. However, when I
: stopped the walking when I started
: my new job, WHAMMO, the binge
: eating went absolutely OUT OF
: CONTROL!

: After re-reading PNP, I am wondering
: if the following theory might be
: the problem:

: Walking in the brisk mornings gave me
: a sense of accomplishment, and
: wellbeing, which raised my Beta
: End receptors. I was still eating
: sugars and not compliant with my
: diet, but mentally, I felt
: "better" than my normal.
: The abrupt stop of my exercise
: routine left my beta-endorphin
: receptors wondering what the H
: happened, and since there was no
: more exercise, they screamed for
: sugar, and still are.
: Does this theory of my current
: feeding frenzy predicament sound
: plausible??

: I need help turning this around!!!

Hi Kimberly,

I think your theory is pretty close. But if you are also trying to cope by being vegan, it is going to be almost impossible to get settled.

The very best thing you can do is work on breakfast. Maybe join the breakfast group and start listening.

My hunch is there are many layers.

Warmly,

Kathleen
