i just dont know how to get control..
(my worst times are Monday to Friday from when i get home to bed so you looking from about 4pm to till bed and and also weekend were i dont work over weekend)
i tried mostly everything but my mind is constantly on food and missing...
the lost of control is scary cause i am most a control person with work... i am strick with work but when it get personal things i am a lose canon...
and the more i am getting under control with food the more it effect me and my life and its starting to creep into my business

Break the cycle? You keeping a food diary?
You mention exercise. Are you properly fueling your workouts? I've had episodes where I seemed to lose my mind after workouts because I skipped meals before.1 -
I am with you. I have a weakness for sweets and go crazy if I even have one thing. I lose control, blackout, then regret how much I ate whenever I do. It leads to me making other bad eating choices too.
Whenever I am at work or around others it’s almost as if I have to maintain their expectations since a lot of folks see me as fit. It is more difficult when I am at home.
This app has helped me to stay accountable. I see just how much sugar I am putting into my body and remember what my doctor tells me. I also get upset with myself for the damage caused by eating wrong and remember that. I think about how my cardio goes down, my stomach turns into a gut, etc.
If the app or self motivation isn’t enough, you can try having a battle buddy who you can call and you two can hold each other accountable. Having a partner in this helps. When I was married, it helped having a spouse who was on the same page nutrition wise and kept me honest. It is more difficult doing it on my own now.1
