How long will I allow myself to do this to myself? I don't sleep. I DO eat. Very poorly. I am seriously hurting myself.

Hi, I came across your blog and wanted to share a few things with you. I to have been down the Jack Grogan path - and at the time it was heavenly. I lost a bunch of weight, felt totally in control of my life and health. I thought I had finally found the lifestyle change I had been looking for. As I continued, I got more depressed, more anxiety, more unhappy, etc all the while trying to control my eating more, control the vitamins and supplements, etc - all to no avail - only worse feeling. So one day about a year ago i.stopped.dieting. all together. Since then I have gained about 20 pds and most of it has stayed. It happens. I ate like crazy right after I "stopped dieting" bags of donuts, 6 cookies in one sitting, bowls of ice cream, really anything I could get my hands on. That lasted a couple months and it finally slowed and I begin to crave less sweets, but still allowed myself to have them if I wanted them.
But with all of this I wanted to tell you, you are so much more than what you weigh. You are beautiful. You have tested your body and you now know what it can do. You know you can be a different weight and maybe it didn't work for you. It doesn't always work for everyone. I think people's body are very smart, and they know what weight they want to be. I'm sorry that you are sad and depressed, life really is hard. But think about who you are, who you've been and which one is happier? Sometimes you think it's the "thinner" one - but is it really? Is it the one that can go out to eat without worrying what you can and can't order off the menu?
My new mantra is life is way to short to worry about these things, yes it's important to be healthy, but everyone's healthy is different. Love you, love your family, love your job - all the rest will fall into place.
I hope this helps you, I will be praying for you - I hope you can find peace. You really aren't defined by what you weight, you are defined as a person. and when you are gone people are going to remember the fun, the laughter and what a great person you are!
