    It's okay. It will happen. I just ate 3/4 of a can of Betty Crocker's Whipped Milk Chocolate Icing for breakfast. Total emotional eating binge. But, I know what I need to do to stop it. I have to want to. And it can be very difficult to do when food makes you happy. But, there are types of nocturnal eating disorders-you can even eat when you sleep walk. A sleep study will help find that out. At least you can figure out what to do once you know what is going on for sure. Keep trying, it takes awhile to rewire the brain and make new and better habits.

    Been there, done that.... over and over again. You have to control yourself, when you wake up in the middle of the night, drink 2 cups of water and decide if it is worth it to ruin your hard work during the day. I keep a current picture of myself on the fridge and a picture of my goal dress/bikini there too to keep me thinking about it.

    Don't kill youraself over this, give it time and move on!

    Thanks for the support and advice. I'm out to buy a 32 oz water bottle! I know that water is crucial for our bodies , I just never feel thirsty.

    WOW!!! All of you are awesome!!! I feel like I have support for once. This is a really cool feeling to see that so many people understand where I am at. Yes, I have lost weight! I finally had it with all the excuses. My blood pressure was through the roof, my doc kept increasing my meds, I was a smoker , going through divorce, a perfect storm. Then, I just said I want to be healthy. This is the only body I'm going to have. I stopped smoking a year ago, my blood pressure started going down, DUH! of course it would. I knew that I was going to have those days where I was going to go overboard. I brought in some exercise, I decided to try a spinning class which I love! and I also I wanted to relieve some stress. I just get bummed sometimes.

    I used to have this problem. The key is: 1 - don't keep junk food in the house at all. 2) make sure you have a little of smething you like each day so that you don't feel deprived. I know it's hard but you can overcome it. One day at a time.
