My life altering nsv

Toria718

I never thought that I was a stress eater or binger. I found out today I was wrong. In a stressful moment I found myself wanting to get a massive amount of food in my face....after 3 rolos and a cookie and a half I stopped mid bite when I asked myself a) what I was stressed about? and b) was the food going to make me feel any better? I decided that ruining my day was going to make me feel worse, so instead I went for a run. 2 times today I stopped mid food and put it down (the other time was went I was eating a quick breakfast pop tart, I gave half of it to my husband because it wasn't at all satisfying and made me ill).
My nsv is that I have been at this for a long time, half assing my way through but along the ways habits formed and when my brain kicked in and said, "dude wtf are you doing?!" I realized that I am serious this time. I will never be this size again because I am worth it and my life is worth living.
Thank you for taking the time to read what is for me a complete game changer for me during this process of becoming a better me.

Those are the moments that really give us the confidence we need to keep giong for the long haul. Soon you will be stopping yourself before you even take a single bite!

Twice in the past week, I ate way too much at lunch and really started to feel over whelmed and angry at myself for going over on my calories.

Then at dinner, when before I would have eaten a full size dinner like normal, I realized that I could just skip dinner or have a small amount of food and still end within my limits!

This probably makes some of you think, well duh, but for me, it was a breakthrough!

Well done, you have to recognise a problem to fix it.

thanks everyone for the support lol i read that last line...i wrote it on my phone and didn't proof read, I should have, it sounds silly. Between my husband and myself starting new jobs on monday and this epiphany I feel like my life is finally on track and I will end up where I need to be.

I do the same thing! I was doing very well, then one day I got stressful news. The second I left work to when I went to bed, I stress ate. I just ate and ate because I couldnt figure out what else to do. Ugh.
It's hard for me to put it down. Great job that you did !

Great job! You are now in control of your food, not the other way around.
