Hey- when you super freak and eat too much for whatever reason, ie stress, hormones, celebrations, or just uncontrollable cravings; share it! This is how you got here and we can actually curb our own indulgence by seeing others go thru it, ya know? it is not a weakness, just part of the process, kapeesch?

You are still loved and not judged for it!

    Hormones and stress! Had a freak out tonight - I agree that it's important to recognize and admit when you do go overboard; if you don't, it's easy to keep doing it and pretend it isn't happening! : )
  • I only give in to cravings when I am sleepy xD I get grumpy and say screw it! Fixing that with more sleep :]

    The last two days I've eaten a bag of peanut M&M's! Stupid hormones! I never sit behind my computer and just eat chocolate, so way out of the ordinary for me! I feel so much better sharing this though, although i did log it in my diary both days.

    Thanks KF, well said and well received!

    My wife has been bringing home chocolate the last few days and I've been eating a few squares of it here and there. I cannot resist chocolate.

    Yes, boredom eating is something I cave to as well!
  • I do that when i'm trying to get away from studying. When you're in a food coma you can forget about studying and just to to bed. Too bad you cannot forget about the exam :) But I'm much less inclined to go on a food rampage if I have something keeping me busy (and out of the house) :)
