Withdrawal could mean different things for different people. For some couples, it is their means of contraception to avoid pregnancy. For me, it is the withdrawal to sugar and carbohydrates because these two things really make me fat fast and I try to avoid them from time to time. But whenever I do, I find myself having headaches and mood swings because of the withdrawal to these substances.
For some people, withdrawal means the sensations felt after withdrawing from the abuse of certain substances, such as the Opiate Withdrawal.
But whatever form of withdrawal we are facing, one thing is sure–it is difficult. We would first need to have set our mind to do so and then we would need a lot of will power, determination, and self discipline. That is on the personal level. Plus we need the love, support, and encouragement of other people. In some withdrawals, medication may be necessary. If the person will religiously take withdrawal medications, things will be so much easier. With all these combined, we are sure to be able to successfully overcome any withdrawal that we are facing.
I am bent on withdrawing, that is from too much food intake. I think I am addicted to food. Yeah, a food addict. Whenever I see food and it is available to me, I eat, whether I am hungry or not. To borrow what a friend said, “I eat everything and then I regret later.” This is soooo true to me. I would eat and then regret what I did later. Sigh…I am asking my husband to keep encouraging me. I hope that I will lose some weight to look good for his bestfriend’s wedding.
