The best thing I've done so far to combat that is to prepare myself to win - instead of not planning ahead and succumbing to office cupcakes/etc, I go to the grocery store every Sunday now and get everything I need to prepare and eat about 4 meals a day - breakfast sandwiches, yogurts for midmorning snack, frozen meals for lunch, fruit bar for afternoon, and food for healthy dinners my partner and I make at home together at night. I also keep 90% dark chocolate at my desk in case I need something sweet. Be patient with yourself for the first few weeks as you swing back into it - remember there is no urgency. You'll get there when you get there and don't stress yourself out by beating yourself up. It just takes time and then the discipline will get easier.

You got it, sister! You'll be fine, and you have all of us here to lean on. Just remember to love yourself and give it some time. All will be well and we'll all get where we're supposed to be when the time is right.

Give yourself 120% credit for taking positive steps forward! Just reaching out is sometimes tough for me & you have gotten a lot of great support here

You have made the first positive step in addressing the problem and realizing what you want to change and give yourself goals. I have been struggling with the same thing for the past year and I just recently gained some control and started restricting, keeping my cals as low as I can without getting too hungry, but filling up on nutrient rich low calorie foods like veggies and fruits. It's working so far and I've lost 6 lbs in 10 days. You can do this- just keep your eye on the prize and know that you HAVE what it takes, it's all in your head that determines whether you are successful or not. You can do this!!
