    I'm sorry to hear that but have faith that better things are ahead.

    What do you think your eating? Is there something purposeful you could do instead?

    Make a plan that does not include eating a lot. Or....have raw or cooked veggies on hand to eat a lot of when hungry. I ate a whole head of brocolli last night. But no butter. Do you have a therapist? They can help you make a plan. One reason I joined MFP is my new meds are so powerful that without 'real' meals complete with protein, I puke all day long. Not only is this unpleasant, but the patrons at the library look at me funny.

    I have Bipolar and I used to overeat when my moods swing downward. Now I try to focus on an activity, even if it's just watching television.
