STRESS is my number one factor for overeating! That and boredom.1

I tend to want to eat when I don't feel well. It's like I think if I can just find the right food, I will feel better, but more often than not I feel better briefly and then I'm back to the same overly tired barely able to function feeling.0

Stress bad mental health so eating instead of cutting. My gastroparesis so bad days where I'm sick lots and just feeling hungry as I'm getting no nutrition. Days when my gastroparesis is good as my mind set thinks when I'm in a bad flare I won't be able to keep much down. Triggers of guilt from other things. Depression so when I'm feeling bad. Out of habit.0

I overeat if there's oppurtunity, if there's no one around, to justify that I have done anything, that feels challenging. I overeat in secret, and when stressed, when anxious, but especially if I am lonely. I overeat when people, events, the world either hurts me or disappoints me.
Overeating has become my biggest secret, and my biggest enemy, my biggest burden.0 -
Boredom, my period, stress, and negative thinking!0

I have extreme anxiety. Especially when my kids are not with me. When they are at school, with grandparents..etc. I over eat to take my mind off of my irrational thoughts.0

I can relate 100% to this. I’m a stay at home mom of 2 under 5 & it’s hard to remember that I have my own wants & needs in life because I’m always doing something (mostly unappreciated) for my family. I have rediscovered myself, thank goodness, hopefully you can do the same, if helps so so much! Prayers! Being a SAHM is mentally & physically exhausting, it definitely does a number on your self worth. Idk if I could have managed with TRIPLETS! You are a super mom!4thehardman wrote: »I seem to always be in the kitchen. With 3 little ones and one only slightly bigger one there are always lots of leftovers, once I start picking I can't stop, next its a bowl of cereal or a yogurt, maybe some of the kids cookies or chocolate. I do think its boredom and a bit that I didn't plan to be a stay at home mum with triplets +1 and I've lost my identity. I eat because then I'm too busy to be unhappy and I should be very happy, I'm a very lucky Mum and wife and my life is good. Its just that I don't always think I deserve it and I self destruct by stuffing myself.
