Boredom and lack of sleep ... oh yeah and being drunk XD

This is my bad time, too! I know it stems from a childhood where we didn't have a lot to eat so you finished whatever was on your plate. Being mindful of that is helpful. I have my daughter get rid of what she doesn't eat. It's too easy for me to offer to clean it up. My husband takes care of leftovers by putting them in containers and into the fridge. Out of sight, out of mind!

I found out that stress I can handle with exercise, going out, talking to my friends, etc. BUt what really gets me eating is stress due to incertitude, like when my father was ill and he had to undergo surgery and we didn't know what the outcome would be. I spent the whole day in the kitchen. Once we knew he was all right I started my diet and as u can see already reached my goal. But I'm scared now cause again I have an uncertainty situation and the cravings are coming back.

I know a lot of things can make me overeat, including being upset or just busy. One thing I've been noticing more with tracking everything, is that I am at my absolute worst, when I am at a function of some sort with free food, like buffet style. I've had two Saturdays in a row that I had to do extra days of work which included social type of award ceremonies, for students, etc.. and there was unexpected free, delicious food for everyone after the function.
One, I had already eaten before it, because I assumed I wouldn't get much of a break to eat, and then two.. it combines all my worst triggers... free food at my finger tips, all looking really good in a buffet style type of houer dervs or however you spell that, and then on top of everything else... I have the social nervous eating habit, where it is easier to shove food in my face rather than make small talk with the crowds... UGh... I really can't handle this type of situation. I think a little part of me feels like it is a food celebration too and I don't want to miss out...

My other big trigger is just lack of time management and planning. And of course when I am upset with either my husband or my daughter is going through a rough time and she drains the energy out of me.. so It is for many reasons..

But, I do see that I just can't handle the social function eating with nervous habit type of munching with free food, especially when it is unexpected..

Don't really know how I am going to do better with this, because it feels uncontrollable... but at least I am more aware of it..

Stress, when I'm upset, when I'm bored...sometimes simply because it is there! Which is why I have now got rid of all the bad food in my house! X

i'm stress too! i have an essay deadline 12pm tomorrow and just found ice cream in my freezer that's been there 6 weeks and i'd forgotten about but now it's all i can think of!

I eat my worry and sadness.

Night time! I am usually pretty good during the day, but as soon as the sun goes down my craving for sweet stuff goes up!

Weirdly, feeling like I'm in a hurry! I get this anxiety that's like "I need to get as many calories in my body as possible before I have to go do all this stuff!" And then there goes a box of chocolates or something.

In general it comes from being anxious, though. Sometimes I overeat when I feel anxious about going to the gym -- epic fail!

Also being at work when someone's brought in sweets. Or being bored, sometimes.

For me, it's either stress or boredom.

Having foods I tend to overeat on in the house is awful too. The kids aren't bad eaters, they just like granola bars, and other little treats I shouldn't be eating.

To be quite honest, I think I have a sugar addiction too! I can down so much sugar it's crazy. I'm actually going to try Sugar Busters or Atkins to try and rid myself of those cravings.
