    Anorexia, in the long term.

    Obviously it made me very skinny but when it became a case of 'oh ****, need to starting eating again or else" then it was ... oh, hello 45 pounds!

    Using food as an antidote to stress....wrong method altogether! Exercise works much better. :D
    ^ ^ THIS - 100% ^ ^

    Stress will always be there in some form, I just needed to learn to process it in a better way!

    Two things:
    My first job was working at Dairy Queen.
    When I worked at a car dealership, we went to the bar every night and stayed until bar close.

    One thing would be......SUGAR! I like sweets everything sweet including the healthy ones like "Carrot" cake, "Dairy" Queen and "Blueberry" pie or "Peach" cobbler. LOL

    Seriously sweets are my down fall and social eating with friends. It's hard to not have the good stuff your having too.

    I am trying again to change though.

    Beer. Great and glorious (and ice cold) beer. Man I love beer. My weight? Not so much.

    And that 54 calorie stuff? That's not beer. *grumbles*

    My favorite part of your picture is how they make sure to add the "REAL FRUIT FILLING" on there. What a joke!

    Boredom eating at work. This is the first time I've ever had a full time desk job, and it gets so boring I just want to eat all day. I was having 8 mini kit kats during the day, plus all my regular meals and snacks.

    Dunkin' Donuts bagels and donuts, pizza, and especially candy. I would buy candy every single afternoon so I would have it to snack on throughout the evening.

    The weekends. Having a boyfirend who's naturally tall and skinny (think chinese food and pizza) and a group of friends who LOVE to party (lots of beer/alcohol on the weekends) have not been a freind to my weight...

    I've been trying to cook more with the BF so he understand healthy food is just as awesome as Domino's (although it's hard to convince someone when you're not totally convinced yourself). Also, with my friends I'v tried to switch from beer to mix drinks (dies sodas) to hopefully reduce the calories...

    This mainly. Snacking, accompanied by lack of exercise. Plus undue stress, and accompanying stress eating. When I gave up sugar for lent (a turning point which should have started my weight loss--but didn't) I realized that everytime an unpleasant task came up at work, I would procrastinate for 5 minutes by going to get a snack out of the vending machine. My only "reward" in my day-to-day was sweets or indulgences. I know better now. Everything in moderation is really the key--and getting in that gym!

    Stress eating for sure... I am definintley an emotional eater. Growing up, my parents were more concerned with the quanitity of food they could get versus the quality of food we kids ate. I had moon pies, tter tots and corn dogs almost every day. Any processed food, soda, and chips that you could get in quantity at a warehouse wholesaler.
