Hello Caroline
Thanks for sharing.
You work with adults with learning disabilities.. Wow you are a total star
Perhaps you are not vocally thanked often but, what you do and the fact you even do it, is making a massive change for the adults involved. Go You
I guess you know the stats on depression, get your light therapy box in for the winter. Buy a few motivational books and keep up the work here on MFP
Any time you want a push up, just message me... TEAM WORK

Hello Charlotte
As we approach winter, it's in our human DNA to naturally want to lay down fats etc.
The fact you comfort eat is in it's self quite natural, perhaps you should drop the term "struggle" and replace it with enjoy.
Is it the sugars that you crave<?
One way would be to remove most ice creams/ biscuits and such like from your environment and replace them with similar foods, but in a low calorie form. As far as I am aware ALDI do fantastic low carb snacks ( of all kinds ) cheap fruit and even better they even take debit cards at the till!!! Thats soooooooooo 2012 lol
Any time you need a "UP" honestly I am >here<
My advise is not always right, but it may help to put a slant on things
