EMOTIONAL OVEREATING

wAstEDxYOUth

Well, what can I say? I'm an emotional over-eater, a food addict. No matter WHAT I do (i.e. lock myself in my room, keep myself busy), ALL I can think about are those damn poptarts and minimuffins and chocolate chip cookies. The worst part is, I'm not even hungry. I do it, well, just because it makes me feel better. I take a good look at myself, see how much I've gained, and just lose hope and so...I succumb to all those yummy junk foods and drown myself in calories. If anyone has some creative tips out there, PLEASE let me know. I wouldn't say that I'm desperate...but yeah, I'm desperate. This weight gain has destroyed any sort of self-confidence that I have obtained over the years and the emotional effects have been terrifying. I thoroughly understand the psychology behind this and WHY I'm over-eating. I've tried just about every technique (visualization, operant conditioning, hypnosis, etc.), but all of the sudden I find myself consumed by this miserable hoplessness, a sort of feeling as if my mind-self is telling me "No, you will NEVER lose weight." What can I say? I am my own worst enemy. I would appreciate some help. But I would appreciate originality and sincerity even more.
