    You can stop. Are you eating out of emotional need and fulfillment? I tend to binge eat twice a week and am going to start writing daily about my goals, thoughts around food, current state and so forth. You can search online for writing prompts associated with weight loss. I think it would be beneficial to you, as I hope it will be to me.

    I'll do some looking around and if you're interested, private message me and I'll send you what I find.

    I hope you know how truly capable you are of achieving great things and taking control of your emotions and habits.

    Try intermittent fasting... By not eating until about 2pm I have dramatically cut down on the amount of food I want to eat and my cravings... Probably because my meals are so much bigger and I have plenty of room to snack in between.

    I have had success by filling up on nonstarchy vegetables.

    I totally know what you mean! I used to call myself the void, that I'd just open my mouth and suddenly everything in the kitchen would be gone. Many people out there consider themselves emotional eaters, but I just like food too much I think, it's like a passion, especially when your friends are foodies too but the only difference is that they get away with it... But currently after a month I've learned to curb overeating by being strict with myself and tracking calories. If you set yourself a goal and stick to it I'm sure you can achieve what you want!

    What type of foods are you currently eating? You can probably eliminate a little at a time and see major results. I know soda is a big one. I know many people that have lost a few pounds simply by cutting soda out of their diets.
