Emotional/ binge eater needs accountability and support

kansasbelle

Hi y'all. I know I'm not the only one here that binge eats. I've been rationalizing eating junk for a while now. 20lbs in 3 months. This year has been very chaotic for me. We moved out of state to Texas during a pandemic. It was near impossible to find a job. Making friends is hard when there were restrictions. My anxiety got to me at first I was dropping weight. Then I finally took a job for the sake of having a job. I started back eating the way that I had before and gained 20 pounds in 3 months. I was so isolated.. In march I was able to start a new job which I enjoy. My kids became involved in softball and baseball so I was always running around and not eating healthy. I kept making excuses. I'll start tomorrow. I better eat this now because tomorrow I start. I did this all the way up to my 50th birthday last week. That was thoroughly disappointing so I binged more. I have tried everything over the years. I had great success with my fitness pal before I met my husband and kids. I want to be active and play with the kids, but this extra weight is killing me. I want to look cute in clothing and I don't want to die early like my grandfather did of obesity at age 54.

You are definately not alone. I have an accountability program with my clients. They have to send me a picture or text of everything they eat. They are surprisingly honest. I love them for that. Do you have a friend you can do this with?
