***Warning*** Confession

I can SOO relate...but try and not beat yourself up..but also know that your BETTER than those oreos!! Every time I look at food now I think how long will it take me to walk.run..dance that off..is it REALLY worth it..and not even just the exercise, but you are toying with emotional stress with a fight and it is SO easy to turn to food..I did it SO much..but not hardly anymore, I try my hardest to remind myself that you are stronger than that..and even once the damage is done..just tell yourself not to let it happen again...make a mental note, telling yourself...if this circumstance happens again..what will I turn too instead? Rather than waiting the very last second and making a quick second decision without thinking and the next thing you know, a whole row of cookies is gone!....:) Are you a writer? Maybe write out your feelings at that very moment...jot things down while your in the heat of your emotions..maybe that might help too?? Even if your not a writer..find a sticky note..write down those emotions you feel..and sticky note it to the top of those box of oreos. That way,every time you look at those cookies..your reminded

don't feel bad. it honestly happens to the best of us. it's much easier said than done, i know, but it's all about retraining yourself when it comes to eating. maybe the next time you feel like you need to emotionally binge, sit at the computer and write out a blog to let out your frustrations. you have to retrain yourself that binging on junk food is no longer an option. eventually, you'll get to the point where you'll still want to emotionally eat, but the urge won't be very strong, and you'll be able to get through it without any problem.

Add extra exercise for the next few days until you have worked it all off. I am such an emotional eater too But I try to write blog posts in order to let out the emotions instead of keeping it inside. It takes a lot of practice, but it really feels great when you DON'T turn to the food. Logging foods has helped with the self control too

Another thing to try is to say out loud to yourself "I will NOT give in!" It might sound silly, but repeating it out loud sort of makes it feel more powerful and I found that it helps me fight the temptation Don't worry, we all give in sometimes, but next time you will do better!

Double-Stuff Oreos *Homer Simpson drool*

I completely understand how you feel. I did the same thing two weeks ago...I hopped on the scale and was upset with what it told me, so I went right to the fridge and cut myself a honkin' piece of chocolate cake. It was absolutely scrumptious, but filled with dismay and broken promises.

You did the right thing - you let yourself indulge, you know it wasn't the best thing to do, and you've come to tell us about it to release the guilt. Good on you!

don't worry, we have all done that once in a while, just start again go back on xx
