Emotional eating

so today I just felt so low and upset I've done nothing but eat. For weeks I've done so well, staying within calorie targets and loads of exercise. I went to the gym last night and woke up feel achy and tired. My boyfriend works away and I thought he was due home early this morning, I baked his favourite cupcakes etc. I then realised I got the date wrong and it's tomorrow morning and whilst I know it's not a big deal I was just disappointed and got really down and fed up. I've laid on the sofa all day and eaten: and now I feel even worse like I've undone all my hard work

    Some days are like that. I have those days when it just doesn't seem like I can eat enough and others when I just don't feel hungry. One day won't undo all of your work. Keep your head up. Tomorrow is a new day. :-)

    I know you're correct in what you're saying... Just because you fall off the step doesn't mean you should throw yourself down them all. I just felt in a downward spiral today. I've got a really hard week infront of me at work, and it'll be tough to eat well and within my limits. Today was a day off, so my one day I could really control it and I ruined it. Oh well. Not the end of the world. Going on holiday next week and I wanted to be good for leading up to that... X

    You will have emotional days and "I want to eat EVERYTHING" days - what you need to learn is ways to cope with your emotions that don't involve food. Easier said than done, I know. But try logging on to MFP forums if you are feeling down - there are a lot of people willing to keep you on track and distract you from the cravings. Wishing you the best of luck, you can totally do this. :)
