Comments on: Ask A Counsellor: January 15, 2007 http://www.cedriccentre.com/blog/ask-a-counsellor-january-15-2007/ We Gently Deal with What Is...

I then went to your Blog and the Jan 15th ask the counsellor question really helped me--just reading it, it helped me feel better as I feel like I have definitely been able to see myself thinking about eating when I'm not hungry (I wasn't able to do that most times even a few weeks ago, but have really been working through that piece lately) but not being able to stop myself many of the times... so I've written down what to look for (the all or nothing thinking) and how to work through that so that hopefully I can do that tomorrow and from now on when I need to.... Thank you so much for posting that.... I also wrote down all of the all or nothing thinking that I have rattling around in my brain right now--and as I was writing it down, I could see how ridiculous it all sounded but obviously it was in there so it felt good just to write it down.

I do use food to cope and am interested in learning more. I read these two entries and am so interested to learn more about the "all-or-nothing" thinking as part of or as the problem. I have said these very words when I've tried to explain how I feel about so many of the issues I struggle with in my life. I used to use great self control and force myself to lose weight and be in control of what I ate, but it had to be all or nothing..as soon as I slipped off I'd give up. I've done this several times in my life so far but now find I have no motivation to collect myself together for another cycle of the same, knowing I will be back where I am now. I know I must get to the root of the issue and this all or nothing way of thinking is so real in my life, I was so excited to see it labelled as such in your entries. Please tell me more or point me in the right direction to online articles or other entries. I have a ray of hope for change with even what I've read so far..Thank you I happened to hear someone on CFAX the other day talking about the Centre and I was intrigued.
