> I have been called "ICQ" by a babbler - Ice Cream Queen. The way to keep your weight to a respectable 175 (at 5'5") is, as you both have discovered to stop eating real food and eat only junk.

> How does it make me feel (sounds like a therapist question, doesn't it)? Well I've been depressed enough to be out of work for 21 months. Gee, maybe there is a connection.

> I eat the junk because I feel so little energy, I'm looking for the sugar high. But I don't get more energy, I just get fatter. You would think that eventually I would learn that the junk doesn't help. Actually, I am aware of it sometimes as I am scrounging for sugar. I tell myself it won't make me feel any better. Sometimes that works for an hour, sometimes it doesn't work at all.

> Exercising uses energy that I don't have (I know, "If you exercise you will have more energy" - hasn't worked for me). Dieting is out of the question because I eat the wrong stuff because I "need" to.

> Ice cream really does help me. I eat it after therapy and it clears some of the fog from my head.
>
> I think that my life without junk food would be worse than my life being fat.

> (Interestingly, I still see myself as much thinner - mirrors always surprise me)Yes, icecream does help! When I have a battle with myself about it I come back to that - I dont think it's an excuse because it really has been for so long the only thing that has given me any happiness. Maybe we can get DrBob to start a new board for food issues.
