Last 10 - kick-off

Thank you! You're right. I should focus more on the success of quitting smoking than feeling sorry for myself for comfort eating. That is one of my big challenges in all of this; emotional eating (when stressed, feeling down etc.), but my heart is set on getting back on track.

Does anyone have any advice on this matter? How to combat emotional easting and late-night snacking?

Late night snacking is one serious challenge for me (seems like not only ): http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/78150-no-late-night-junk-snacking-01-25-2010-to-01-31-2010?page=1#posts-1079794

If you want to avoid something, imagine that there is something a bit poisoning in it: in a similar way that smoking was, on long term. Think of the chemicals, of the sugar or bad fats. Since this kind of eating is "emotional", it's all in our heads. Sometimes it can be helpful to commit publicly and to post in the forum, rather than open the fridge again, one more time (just this once ).
