• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

Living a balanced life is something I will be forever working on

I Know balance is the KEY to everything-it just seems to take so much more effort than it used to-Most of the time LATELY I seem to get overwhelmened. I just got to bring It back to that simple principle and start..again and again if I have to till I get Back-thanks, I needed that!

I'm so happy to see you around- I decided to leave most of the diet sites that I was at (including CC) so I was hoping I could catch you here.

I'm back to trying to do things just one day at a time. Right now I've over stuffed myself from a week of being with my in-laws that I'm honestly not even in the mood to eat anything.

I was hoping to get out to the store to pick up a new water bottle and some stuff to help cleanse my body, but hubby took my car so I'm stuck at home until he gets off of work. The one reason I'm happy the holidays are almost over: balance in life is easier to have. Now I just have to "survive" the New Years Eve party we're having at our place. :doh:

Hi, new here. I want to add that I, too, am a sugar and carb addict. I feel that stress really brings about the trigger to eat more of this. If I put one cookie in my mouth I have 10 to follow. It is so powerful. I guess I need to start by identifying the times that I binge eat. I would say the biggest times would be when i am bored, stressed, overwhelmed, scared, tired. I eat a lot late at night after the kids have gone to bed. I have a very demanding job that requires me to take care of others and I am a single mom of two girls, one with special needs. I think my biggest issue right now is the GUILT I have at my recent huge weight gain. I have gone back and forth with starving and binging and last year was my binge year. I find myself hating myself often. I know God would not approve of my thoughts toward myself. I know He understands my issues. I know He wants to help me. I just dont know where to start. I am so glad to have found you all. Through reading your posts, I feel a connection and understanding that I have not found on any other site. :)
