new ... and why I stress eat

rchambers2072

I have, after a lot of therapy, decided the main reason I stress eat is that I feel soo out of control in my life sometimes that the only thing I CAN control is what goes (or does not go) into my mouth. I am a single mom with 2 kiddos left at home. They both have severe mental health issues. I also have bipolar disorder myself. So there is a lot of time when I feel out of control,or at least like I am not the one in control of my life. I can go through periods where I eat hardly enough to stay upright, and periods where I eat enough to sustain an elephant. Getting to and staying at a healthy weight is an ongoing project for me and one I plan on beating!
