Any excuse

I've gradually come to realise that my mind will find any excuse to eat like a horse, even if my body is telling it otherwise.  Even if i am sick from overeating within 40minutes i can find myself lining up the next binge-fest on the arm of the sofa.

Such occasions as food shopping, eating out, holidays and going over my mum and dad's are like triggers which let the overeater in me have a free-reign.  It's like a greyhound seeing the bait and I will go and go and go way beyond the finish line.  I just can't stop even after one of my "cheat" occasions.

I'll often convince myself after exercise that I deserve a reward.... a food reward...

If i go into the shop to buy bread, i can easily convince myself a small treat won't do any harm.  And it wouldn't if I wasn't giving myself these "treats" 50 times a day.

I know my excuses and I know they are excuses. It's got to be a start!
