I eat when I'm lonely

brb_2013

Its not necessarily loneliness that triggers my emotional eating, but I have begun to deal in the following ways:
1. I'm taking an online Spanish class
2. I'm also doing an online typing program- one lesson per day, but once I start I do several.
3. I have a small selection of exercises I can do in my bedroom if I need privacy from roommates, and a large selection that I can do in our living room if I am able. Most of them have a fun aspect, like Just Dance on the wii.

Im working on going to one of these options before I think of eating for comfort. They may just be distractions from the core issue, but half my day is distracting 3yos just long enough to do what needs to be done... So maybe I need to employ the same with myself!
