I used to. ..

Before my journey began,  I used to:

Drink coke and Pepsi by the case.
Make a gallon of sweet tea and forbid my kids to drink it. It was for me.
Eat 4 or more packs of Reese cups. Every night.
Wake up vomiting.
Wake up in the middle of the night and eat an entire meal.
Have two boxes of Philly cheese steak hot pockets at once.
Sleep all day.
Buy a container of lady locks and eat them by myself.
Eat bags of caramels.
My floor by the bed was full of "hidden" candy wrappers.
I ate in bed a lot.
At fast food places i would pretend to be buying food for the whole family and eat it myself. Multiple sandwiches and fries.
I bolted my food like a dog.
Every trip to the store was for candy bars and soda.
My son blew up to 265 pounds at age 12.

And now:

I journal everything.
I drink either water or black coffee.
I still have occasional sweets,  but I  journal them honestly.
My son is down to 225 at 5'9".
Tonight when i couldn't sleep i went into the kitchen,  but i asked myself if i was hungry and the answer was no. So i left.
I recognize the triggers of my addiction.

I make better choices and i am learning all the time.
