tired of my weight controlling my life

There are a few threads on here about binging, you should be able to find them on a search.
This website/app are fantastic, by logging everything that you eat it really makes you aware of just how many calories you're eating.
I've built up a really good group of motivational friends on here, they're fantastic and the mutual support personally helps me a great deal.
Good luck, you need to get your mindset right, which I can't help you with as I'm still currently "in progress!"
But, with every day that ticks by, I'm slowly getting closer to my goals

Tiffany, it's hard once you get started to stop. I find it helps to eat well at meals, have a healthy snack handy for triggers and to keep super busy. Exercising 1-2 hours everyday really curbs my appetite and when I don't do these things I get in trouble with hunting and binging.

Hi , I've tried lots of things to lose weight over the years but tbh mfp seems to be really helping , along with getting my head right . I also find that exercise is more addictive than food so I try to fit varied exercise in every day , I also drink plenty of water , especially when the urge to eat comes on. Hope you find what works for you , like you I have always struggled , take care

What I've tried doing is not buying the foods that I would eat that I shouldn't. Being happy with yourself is much more worth it than temporary happiness from food. Don't get me wrong, I have had moments where I feel like emotional eating or binging but I grab onto that feeling that I had when I weighed less and that is what is helping me. Once you see some results it will make you feel so much happier.
